ya i wasn't aware of that going into it, has been a major beach. ha

but learning alot.

was definitely a great learning experience for me too, about winch building and myself. i think the spool was the hardest part fasho, so much thought goes into it especially designing something like that with no experience and no idea of the forces present. Smash

Soulprogression, it is going to be my own little winch park, the spot is perfect as long as the water doesn't go down to much more.

daniel · Back Big Joined: 26 Apr 2004 Posts: 3669 City: Duncan

daniel, I was planning on doing something similar for my 2nd winch project what kind of wood did you use on the sides ? Is it just marine plywood ?

daniel · Back Big Joined: 26 Apr 2004 Posts: 3669 City: Duncan

no it is 23/32 plywood that has been primered and painted several coats.

the water just sits on it rather than soaks in, hope it will hold up awhile.
