The nominal size of 3/4" galvanized pipe is 3/4". The outside diameter is1.05" as found on any pipe size conversion table. I built this compost tumbler and had to go back to the hardware store for another hole saw, size 1 1/8 ". I also added a drain valve at the bottom edge to drain valuable compost tea.

I used a large trash can instead of the food barrel and reinforced the side braces with more wood. Great weekend project, it took me about 3 hrs. Works really well

I quick Google search, and my third hit was for Boys' Life. Being a Scout myself, I had to click it. Needless to say, I am WICKED excited to build this. It's been far too long since I've built anything with my hands (I'm a bit embarrassed to say that the last time might have been my Eagle Project in '04). Thanks a bunch for these instructions Boys' Life! And to all those Scouts climbing the Path to Eagle, keep it up! It will be something that you treasure your whole life, something no one can take away.
