This is a boat anchor rope roller I made for the front of my boat that I am fixing up.
Cut the frame shape out of 4mm 316 plate and then TIG welded it up. Machined up a roller to run the 13mm nylon rope and the 16mm anchor shank sits above the curved recess when under way, knurled a round bit of 316 for extra grip and TIG welded it to a pin which goes through the anchor shaft to lock it in place when not in use and also keeps the rope from jumping out of place when at anchor.
