Nice work! Well worth your time and effort. I've learned, and continue to learn from your build log. Thanks for sharing.

My next step was to make the 3 gears. The 2 smaller ones also needed banding.
 
I made the 2 small gears and the bands for them. Drilled the proper size hole in some stock brass on the lathe, cut them to the proper thickness and cut the bands as well. Then cut the gear teeth on the mill.
 

 

 
In order to keep everything aligned during assembly I made a simple jig and glued the gears to their bands.
 

 

 
I then made the pawl wheel out of wood and made the brass bands for that as well. Also made the 2 wood spacers that would fit on either side of the pawl wheel.
 

 
Next I made the large gear wheel, no bands required for this one.
 

 
The drum for the chain side required some shaping on the lathe as well as an end piece.
 

 
For the “iron” whelps on the chain drum I used 1/32 square brass bar stock. Cut 8 pieces a bit longer than needed, bent the dog leg in them to accommodate the shape of the drum, blackened them and glued them in place on the drum. Then trimmed off the excess and blackened the cut ends.
 

 

 

 
After staining the cherry wood to make it look a bit aged (Jacobean stain) and blackening all the brass pieces I was ready to assemble the windlass.
 

 
I used the jig to keep everything in line as I glued. Then transferred the entire piece to the black painted axel, adding the supports as I did. To add some detail I placed 2 small blackened brass bolts on each supports.
