		The overall tone of Capstan Shafts songs is intimate and heartbaring, but the lyrics entwine honest expressions of emotion (of regret, adoration, sadness, confusion) with surrealist imagery and humor.

	Equipment Fact Sheet: Capstan
		Used for hauling ropes, it has the advantage that it can take ropes coming from any horizontal direction without the need for guiding blocks and other rope leading systems, provided that the rope is perpendicular to the capstan shaft and approximately on the same horizontal plane as the warping head.
		It is also easy to slip a rope on a capstan, thus reducing the hauling speed, or just hold the rope to maintain a steady pull while the capstan is still in motion.
		Warping heads for self made capstan, windlasses and small winches can be made also of hard timber.
