I think your choice is just fine and if you get tired of aging in place
while spining and spinning and spinning the handle, the torque reduction
ratio is such that a good strong hand held electric drill could turn
it. Something like a Milwaukee Hole Hog right angle drill is powerful
enough and is geared down sufficiently. If you don't intend to use it
much you might be happy with something similar from Harbor Freight.

I know this has been on here several times, but I'm looking for a good
source of tower winches for the raising fixture. The book shows a
worm gear drive, but what's on there is an inexpensive boat winch.
I'm thinking of ordering a Fulton worm gear drive, hand powered winch
with about a 50:1 ratio.
Suggestions?
