    Ships wheel

    My son is building a 37' sailboat I am looking for drawings for 2 ships wheels one for the deck and a smaller one for inside. I am not having much luck. My wife of 52 years reciently passed away and I would like to make the wheels for his boat in her memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thank you

    IF nobody has access to one, PM member Dave Richards. He might have some plans. He and I made one. He sent me one old spindle and blanks for the new ships wheel spindles. If you are interested, here's his thread http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...okes&highlight= illustrating how he made it.

    Here's what we ended up with:
