Thanks guys!

Dave - I got it printed at Jawstec, they offer a handful of colors of nylon, including black!

CNR - It was made by Jacob Marley himself just after he made the Christmas play!

Wow, Chris!  I'm out for a week and there's six pages of updates on your build log!  And not only that, you finish it while I'm away!  You work fast, my friend!

The windlass(es) look and run great!  Just awe inspiring!  :praise2:

Looking forward to seeing the final beauty shots & video.

Thanks for sharing this all with us, Chris!

Thanks  Kim!  I've got the  chain installed, but it will probably be  Monday  before the final pics and vids.

Alright! Back from the trip to Maine to run the Lombards, and time to close out this build thread (sorry to see it all done, its been a fun one!)


Here is a couple shots of the completed engine, more pics and a video are going up over on a Showcase thread...
