This capstan kit will be an open source project.  I will set it all up and add the downloadable stl files for 3d printing and dfx and pdf files for laser cutting.  
 
This group will have 3 sections…
 
1. I will create a build log of the step by step construction of the capstan.
 
2. I will create a build log of sorts for the laser cutting…materials and techniques. 
 
3.  Lastly a brief chat about the 3d printing…what resin I use …dyeing the pieces…i will provide pre supported stl files as well as those without supports.
 
With these technologies becoming more common,  we should have projects like this one.
 
In addition,  I will look for someone in the UK or Europe who wants to produce this as a kit.  To avoid tariffs and steep shipping.  And also someone in the USA to mfg as a kit…for the same reasons.  This way folks who dont have the equipment may get a chance to buy a kit and build it.  
 
I have no interest in making $$$ on the project so those who want to make this as a kit can have the license to do so free of charge and for life.
 
Maybe Chris W and ScrubbyJoe…
 
We shall see.
 
Its a nice fun little project…no more than two weeks to build once you have the parts.

Hi Everyone, thank you for your Comments and Likes. Tis update starts with the stanchions that are attached to the main deckhouse and support the boat deck. They were made and test fitted before the main deckhouse was installed. Gary @FriedClams recommended the Tichy phosphor bronze wire in his Pelican build so I picked up a variety of sizes and used the .020" wire to pin the stanchions in place.
 

 
 

 
The pins were CA'd into the pre drilled holes and then the stanchion was slid in place and the holes for the wire rope handrails were marked. The stanchion was removed and the holes drilled. The stanchion was slid back on the wire and CA was applied to the wire. The stanchion was then pushed into place.
 
Once the first stanchions were in place I was able to measure the size of the platforms that sit outside the smoking room doors port and starboard. They cover the steering rod which gets converted to a wire cable after it enters the trough that runs inboard of the stanchions
 

 
After the platforms were installed the deck planks were laid and the rest of the stanchions were fitted.
 

 
 

 
 

 
The pillar structure was next. A strip of 1/32" x 3/16" wood with a 1/16"x 1/16" glued to it's length was added to the top of the lower beam to match the height of the subdeck and cover the ends of the deck planking.
 

 
 

 
While this was going on a piece of 1.5mm x1.5mm x 1.5mm brass channel was glued between the last plank and the stanchions ( with CA ). This will represent the steering cable trough.
 

 
The knees for the pillars started as a shaped piece of 1/32" plywood. Then  1/16" AYC was glued to one side and sanded back to the plywood. The same was done on the other side but with 1/32" AYC
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
The iron work was attached after the pillars were painted
 

 
A bit of work was done on the deck box and the skylights.
 

 
 

 
 

 
The sheaves at the forward end of the trough for the steering cable look to be housed in a wooden assembly and protected by a wooden step/cover. My version is supposed to represent that
 

 
 

 
Brass wire was used for the hand rails but it may get changed out for rope
 

 
 

 
Still lots to do on the cabin deck
