Here is a design that one of my friends designed tfor our club winch. The
beauty of this design is that there is no chance of getting a finger cut and it
works perfectly.

The design is based on a rotating cylinder mounted inside a metal cube. The
metal cube has a hole drilled through it through the center line. The cylinder
also has a hole drilled through it. In normal use, the hole in the cube lines
up with the holein the cylinder. To activate, a handle rotates the cylinder,
which the cylinder rotatesImagine an 8 inch square solid metal cube.

Nice winch but I wouldn't fly up it until you have the guillotine setup
sorted out!
