Geoff. THats an excellent site.(By the way where's Tenby Point?)
:D
Vic .You might try looking up sites on making a spinning wheel. Very similiar in construction, and I think plans would be easier to find.;)

Tenby Pt. is on Westernport Bay near Corinella, about 15 minutes from San Remo.

Vic.
I have now turned two small ships steering wheels, one 200mm outside diameter and the other slightly larger at 400mm outside diameter.
I would be happy to correspond by e-mail on the details if you are still interested.
