| how wide are you making your spool? The frame looks like it could be a lil narrower. Great start though. Keep at it. |

same here. Its not that big of a deal. It only makes it heavier and uses more steel. |

I'm happy to report that all my parts have arrived and my build will probably consume most of my weekend. 
Looks like there's alot of winch progress going on this weekend. Should make for an action packed next week! |

spool is going to be 12 inches wide... that angle in the picture makes it look really skinny..
devotid did not arrive
i have lost the ambition work on my winch.. maybe i'm just hungry |

unless you want to hold 10000feet of tope, 12 inches is not necessary. The wide spool auctually makes the pull a little worse in my experiences. This is because the rope tends to build up in one spot and then the rope skips to a lower spot on the spool and jerks the rider. Rethink the width of the spool Id say.
(Just my 2 cents) |
