The base is dovetailed at the corners and the uprights are lapped in. I have to complicate everything.

I've never tried dovetails, I could only hope to do as well. I'd probably just do a corner brace and call it done, though.

I had that same compost tumbler, and the frame rusted away on mine as well!
