I've brought a mechanical winch into Makespace, to take it apart and overhaul it. With Roger's and MarkT's help, we've got the faceplate off, and will soon drain the rest of the oil from it and perhaps take it apart further. | I've brought a mechanical winch into Makespace, to take it apart and overhaul it.

Current projects
Small wooden shelves (woodwork)
I'm making some sets of small shelves for my kitchen, so I can tidy up my flock of storage jars.

Overhaul Land Rover winch (mechanical)
I've brought a mechanical winch into Makespace, to take it apart and overhaul it. With Roger's and MarkT's help, we've got the faceplate off, and will soon drain the rest of the oil from it and perhaps take it apart further.
Tools used: socket set, Allen keys, knife and screwdriver to prise plate off, old milk bottle to catch oil, rags to wipe up oil.

Currently on hold until I finish some of the other projects.

Planned projects
Restore Teletype ASR33 (electronics) (mechanical)
Make Schwebebahn for spider plants, along the cable racking (mechanical) (electronics)
