What are some good plans for a homemade composter? Something that turns, or is stationary? Which is best for food scraps?

If you have the space for it, just throw it all in a heap. Buried in yard clippings and stuff, it composts that way splendidly.

Chickens are the best composters. They will eat anything in the waste, and shit out fertilizer. And as a bonus, they'll mix it up by scratching about.

Just build a coop that you can push a wheelbarrow into. Dump this weeks garbage. Shovel up last week's.

I have a bought one. But cut the bottom off of a big hefty trash can and sink it a few inches and make holes for ventilation would look similar to what I have and all my scraps go in there and some yard debris and garden leftovers. I turn with pitchfork every 2 weeks

For kitchen waste suggest nothing homemade and spend a few bucks on a cheap enclosed bin similar to the one partly shown here. This compost was from garden waste only - mainly the seed branches from palm trees:
