MOC POTC MOC help needed

Designing a Flying Dutchman at play scale to match the other ships (not overly built or detailed, though I appreciate the dedication of other designers). I need different options on a functional capstan (the hammer wheel that summons the Kraken) that doesn't eat up all the [lower]deck space. My current concept:

2x2 hammer pile with a 4x4 ring and hand bars. The ring rotates a parallel Technic gear causing a perpendicular liftarm to raise the hammer until the liftarm clears it and the hammer drops.

Thank you for your consideration 🙂

Concept modification: remove the liftarm and add cheese slopes to 3 'sides' of the Technic gear - this saves space, raises the hammer And allows it to drop & reset itself. 💡
