The Capstan is here, and it looks awesome!
Added 2024-06-10 20:44:39 +0000 UTCEndless thanks to Keith Rucker for doing a fantastic job with the restoration (make sure to watch his videos on the Vintage Machinery channel!), to Dave Webster (Webster's Boat Machinery) for incredible design and engineering work on the motor addition, to Windy Hill Foundry for casting the new top-piece, to Dave Clark for making the pattern, and to Bill for driving this thing at record speed almost 3000 miles across the country to us!
Now we need to coat it to protect it from corrosion. What should we use and, more importantly, what COLOUR should it be?!
