[Jewelry making - Article 00292] - [Orchid] DIY drawbench - which winch to buy?

[Freak Style]

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

    I am going to be making myself a drawbench in the next week or two.
    I've looked back through the archives and read quite a few posts
    about this topic as well as having read, some time ago, Charles
    Lewton-Brain's writing about it. 

    What I haven't been able to find anywhere is an explanation on what
    load bearing capacity the boat winch needs to have. I suppose I
    wouldn't draw anything heavier than 3 or 4mm diameter... but that
    will still be a pretty big load as far as I can figure. I would be
    drawing brass, copper and sterling silver. Also, is there minimum
    specs as far as the timber is concerned if you are using a timber
    beam for the bench part? 

    Thanks for any help you can offer!
