Re: Winch ratchet and paw design
In 2014 for our choo-choo we used layered sheet metal to create our ratchet and pawl. Basically you just make several from thinner laser cut sheet metal and bolt the lot together. Not as strong as a solid part but way more than strong enough. We used 3/16" stainless steel with 4 layers to form our ratchet. We have done this with medium duty, high and low speed gears with great success from mild steel and aluminum.
