    ljames44 intro

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a retired toolmaker. My interests are DIY, tools, computers, and tractors (4). (But that's another forum). Currently looking for some way to build a capstan winch. I have a couple of swimming pool pump motors I could use. New winches are too expensive for an occasional job.

    Hi ljames44 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

    Yes, those capstan winches are terribly expensive. What are you using it for? Can it be done with a chainsaw?
