A method of making a cement mixture comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a support frame having wheels and two handles opposite said wheels, wherein said handles extend at least one meter from said wheels;
• (b) providing rotational drive means mounted on said support frame;
• (c) providing a rotatable drum adapted to be held by said rotational drive means and a pivot handle extending at least one meter from a center of gravity of said rotatable drum;
• and
• (d) providing a removable container adapted to be held inside said rotatable drum, wherein said removable container has at least two spaced apart top handles and at least two spaced apart bottom grippers, said bottom grippers having an axial position spaced apart from an axial position of said top handles.

A portable cement mixer, comprising:

• (a) a support frame having wheels and two opposite handles extending at least one meter from said wheels;
• (b) an outer drum having a rotational drive means mounted on said support frame, wherein said outer drum has a pivot arm handle extending at least one meter from a center of gravity of said outer drum;
• (c) a rotatable drum adapted to be held by said rotational drive means;
• (d) a removable mixing container composed of a high density polyethylene and adapted to be held inside said rotatable drum, wherein said removable mixing container has at least two spaced apart top handles and at least two spaced apart bottom grippers, said bottom grippers having an axial position spaced apart from the axial position of said top handles;
• (e) three or more mixer blades in said removable mixing container for promoting thorough mixing;
• (f) keyway groove means in said removable mixing container for securing said removable mixing container within said rotatable drum, wherein said keyway groove means comprises a portion of said mixer blades;
• (g) a rubber sidewall key on said rotatable drum for expanding into and holding said keyway groove means in said removable mixing container;
• and
• (h) a transportation lock-in insert on said rotatable drum for expanding into and holding said removable mixing container.
