michael mott Posted April 24, 2013 #152 Posted April 24, 2013 Russ I would have to go along with Druxey and John that a ratchet would make sense unless there was a small pinion to engage with a gear, there would need to be some way to lock the drum I would think.

Dave Stick Posted April 25, 2013 #156 Posted April 25, 2013 Hi Russ Back on board after a bit of a lull. Good to see you are making great progress on the schooner. Super stuff! You might find a drawing of the windlass from my current project of use. It is a small section from the Underhill drawing set that I have scanned. Hope it works Quote
russ Posted April 25, 2013 Author #157 Posted April 25, 2013 Dave: Thanks. I have Underhill's work and unfortunately, it does not apply to our local schooners down here. The windlass I am making is muuuuucccchhh simpler than what Underhill shows. I thank you for taking the time to post it though.

russ Posted April 27, 2013 Author #163 Posted April 27, 2013 I have been fortunate to have been given access to some photos in private collections, some of which have not been seen by the general public. It has made reconstruction of some details much easier.

Jay 1 Posted May 10, 2013 #164 Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I just scrolled through your build and wow, Russ really nice work! When I'm ready to move onto more advanced stuff, I'm coming here for visual pointers! Also, I'm partial to the look and lines of schooners--they've always appealed to me, so there are few kits of these waitin' for me under my bed (storage area--with kits and etc. there, I can't see the hidin' dust bunnies ).

russ Posted June 17, 2013 Author #180 Posted June 17, 2013 Mark: Thanks. It is not a complete disaster just yet. Those stanchions will hold the cleats to which some of the rigging will be belayed. But there is still the hatches, bitts, deckhouse, wheel box, pumps, and windlass to be added. All that after the deck planking. The deck planking must wait for the cleats, another hawse hole to port, caprail, lower deadeyes and chainplates, rubrail, and some paint on the hull and margin plank.
