Oh, yes! Delightful, Michael! John -
Daddy's Girl was certainly a step up, Scott, but I must say hios first boat is more like what I thought an American shrimp boat would look like! John
-
Great pictures of your dad's boat, Scott - and I love the one of you at 16 with your dad. The model is coming along really well. I'm looking forward to seeing your updates. One thing about building your model on board - no one is going to tell the Old Man, "Hey, you can't leave that thing there!" John
-
Very nice (as usual) Michael. John
-
Nicely done, Danny. I wonder if there's a Druxey Challenge Cup? John
-
A fully working windlass, no less! John
-
Certainly will stay tuned as you take up the 'Druxey pin challenge'.! John
-
She certainly is coming along nicely, Jason. Your's is coming along much faster than the original! John
-
Thay look really good, Augie. Can't wait to see them sent aloft! John

Michael, As the knee has to be shorter, it might look better if you made it taller to compensate. John
-
That's a great set of pictures, Michael - and a pawl set up that I haven't come across before! John
-
Steve, In this close up of the windlass on a small British coaster you can clealy see the anchor cable around what are also clearly wooden staves on the drum. It sounds crazy, but there you go! Michael, it this photo you can see that the post is almost touching the windlass. John
-
Yeah, Michael - that looks more 'conventional'! John
-
Absolutely delightful work, Robert. John
-
A brave move, but I bet you feel a lot happier now that you've done it, Alexandru! John
-
Michael, Why not leave the pawl on the centreline and use a longer post so that the pawl drops down on the pawl wheel from above, which is the more usual arrangement? The post can also be quite close to the windlass with the pawl (or pawls) being quite short. John
-
By golly, Popeye - she'll be finished before you know it! John
-
It might be better on a post, Michael - that would also give another securing point up forward. John
-
Russ, I don't know whether this is any help to you, but it's a close up of the pawl gear and drive gear on a small 'Armstrong patent' windlass on a small British coater. Not like your windlass I know, but at least it shows the drive gear which appears to be standard gear tooth shape. John

Beautiful machining, Giorgio - and great to know that all seems well with your heart! John -
Just catching up with what you're up to, Jerry. She looks really good! John
-
Popeye, I agree with Tom. The only other configuration might be a fairlead through the rail if it's high enough to accommodate one. John
-
It's great to see your Banterer log back, Lami! John
-
Good to hear that you're coming good, Grant - even if a little more slowly than you want. Just take care to listen to your doctor and your Admiral and don't try to do too much too soon. John
