The most fascinating part of this video is the beard that was grown, shaved, and grown again. All in the span of a 7 minute video.

Just what I was looking for, thank you. I'm surprised you don't lubricate the captive roller bearings in the center of the drum support (5:36). Why not?

Great video. Now I know!
Guys, have you watched No Bullshit, Just Sailing. He needs some nice Harken self tailers in his cockpit. He gets 63, 000 views in 5 days and hasn't got self tailing winches.

we have been trying to get the center screw off for several days, I think the previous owner had it screw in too tight, tried WD-40, the center screw just wouldn't nudge .... any good suggestions?

Do the shafts that the gears go on need cleaning and grease or oil?

Redo this video using a tired old used winch so we can see what a dirty one looks like.

What about gloves when handling chemicals?

Forget gloves, how about some sort of mask/ventilator when you’re around mineral spirits!
