Windlass

Ben Tyler rebuilt Destiny’s windlass.  Here he is fabricating a collared bushing to fill a gap in the locking mechanism. 

Micrometer

Ben uses a handheld micrometer to measure and determines that the collared bushing must be 68 thousandths of an inch thick.  Ben will use the metal lathe to shape the bronze piece to fit accordingly.
