Title: New Member Intro - Southern California - Edward G
Post by: Ed G on April 13, 2014, 05:36:45 PM
Hi,

My name is Edward. I am a new member to the forum. I live in Southern California having recently relocated from Nevada. I love the outdoors and am an avid hunter. I have hunted everything from birds to big game using everything from a shotgun, high power rifle, to a muzzleloader). I love equipment. I have worked in printing (owned a letterpress shop), aerospace (as a designer as a NASA contractor), and for a general contractor producing trade shows (creative director). Did I say I love equipment and machinery? So much so that I design and manufacture some as a hobby (although it is turning into a business). My wife is an AstroPhysicist so she keeps me on my toes. We met launching high altitude meteorological balloons to near space www.flyapple.org (http://www.flyapple.org). I love off roading and am an amateur radio operator (HAM). I love APRS. I joined this forum because I saw quite a bit of comments on Capstan Winches, a topic I am very interested in. Can't wait to learn more...

Ed

Welcome to the Forum! You do realize that you will be designing and building your own sawmill before the summer is out, right? :D

Ed, Welcome to the forum.
Capstan winches are an interesting subject, I have used them in many applications and can say first hand that a capstan winch will save you time and money in the woods and anywhere you need to winch something out. Our sponsor Logrite sells a nice one and they can fix you up with a kit of accessories to go along with it. http://www.logrite.com/store/Item/capstan-winch
Feel free to message me and I can give you a few pointers if you like.
