Lovely capstans, Marsalv! It does make one wonder about the practicalities of manning the lower capstan bars when both are required for the task at hand.

Are the iron stanchions get removable?  No way they can use the lower capstan as setup.

According to the information that I obtained, only the upper capstan was used for weighing the anchor. The lower capstan was propably used only for the control of messenger rope and in case of upper capstan damage (only exceptionally). In this case, it was necessary to remove the pillars and ladder (both were removable).

Thank you to all for comments and likes:).

To sailor 123456789: I have the same problem to understand this function. The chain pums and main jeer bitts are so close each other and there is no space for manipulation. Above that I made one small mistake, the main jeer bitts are positioned behind the deck beams  (in plans are the main bitts under deck beam). Fortunately on the main jeer bitts end only two ropes.

To John Allen: It is secret. But whoever seeks, he finds it:P.

The last item on the main deck - brake pumps. They are installed temporarily now. Final fixation will be after deck planking.

TOP WORK   The gear and ratchet teeth on the elm pumps are the kinds of details that make your build so exceptional.  I cannot tell from the photo but are the "iron" parts made of brass or some other material.   Cutting the gear had to be a challenge and if you have more details on that, it would be great to see.
