    Whaaat is up with that winch handle ??? I bet it doesn't grind winches, but would still probably open a beer. All my east coast 110 friends sail ice boats in the winter time. There is a huge class of the boats that they sail, called DNs. DN stands for Detroit News. There has to be a story there, but I don't know it.

    I think 1-lead.
    Of course making the mold would be a bit of work!

    #9. An aluminum lost wax (or lost foam) casting would be my first choice because aluminum has a relatively low melting temperature. Lead melts at an even lower temperature, but the result isn’t as hard and it’s kinds nasty to work with.

    Sorry but DAZZLER, Daydreamer, and MillyB are all incorrect. The anchor question remains unanswered... and Milly: you would lose the bet about the stubby winch handle not grinding winches. Point of fact: Dave Wahle had two engraved, double grip, chopped, bronze stubbies custom built by Chris Boome at Barient. Unfortunately they are both now at the bottom of the ocean, one half way to Hawaii and one near Natural Bridges.
