I stumbled across a great project today while searching through Instructables. The first bin I found was pretty involved, but was a very professional looking compost bin. 
There are several good pictures with easy to follow instructions, and several other users have completed the project. It requires some not as common tools and some difficult to set up hardware. If you are looking for an easier and more cost effective bin, I recommend the trash can compost bin.
This one is quite a bit easier to achieve, very simple and affordable, yet it is still just as effective as the more involved bin. While maybe not as pretty, this one would also be easier to reproduce and keep looking uniform. Both of these bins have been made by other users who have given some insight on the project as well. Of course, there are many more ideas out there for DIY compost bins, all you have to do is look for ones you like!
