Build a base out of two by fours, to save weight, and then cut an access door in the side of the drum. You will need to buy two hinges for the door and attach them with nuts and small bolts. Then get a simple lock to keep the door closed when you rotate it. You will also need to put turning handles on the ends of the barrel, to turn and rotate the tumbler.
The standard industrial oil (or barrel) drum has a capacity of 200-liters. In United States gallons (gal) one barrel holds 55-gal.

Er...55 gallons?
55 gallons?

There are 4 qt per gallon SO ...4 qt/gal x 48 gal = 192 qt.
dia. of a 50 gal drum = 23". circumference = dia. X pi (22/7). circumference is slightly more than 72".
A barrel is two 15.5 gal. kegs, a drum contains 55 gallons.
Height = 36 inches (3 feet) Diameter = 21 inches
Volume = 55 gallons = 12,705 cubic inches = 7.3524 cubic feet (rounded)
