How Sensenich Wooden Props Are Made

[@marbles05]

Culver Props also has a series of good videos on how they make their props by hand. She is an artist.

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Wood working is always a popular topic. Add Aviation to the mix and you have VERY interesting content for sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@sematic1]

right!? it's kind of crazy when you think about it.

[@jamesbailey5218]

I bought mine about 7 years ago. Having it reworked now. Great prop.10 Thumbs up

[@vargapa101]

Beautiful to see modern machinery making a product that is essentially 100 years old tech.

[@PDZ1122]

Wish they showed us how the metal leading edge is applied. Always intrigued me.

[@SVELFARO]

What a process , thanks for uploading

[@brianmoore1164]

A really nice video. Now please produce one that includes the installation of the metal leading edge.

[@lotharvonrichthofen4474]

I love this...real craftsmanship

Culver propeller blonds are more pretty to look at .

[@joem5110]

I like Culver Props. Family owned and ran.

[@Windtee]

Wooden prop-construction has come a long way! Thanks to the development of CNC (computerized numerical control) technology, modern propellers can be manufactured with accuracy and speed.

[@robertthomas6127]

That may be, but the ones that are hand made don't fall out of the sky either. So I guess they must be darn good?

[@Know-How-Now]

I have a vintage wooden propeller for a Curtiss H-16 Flying Boat. It's 9 feet, 6 inches long and mahogany. I'd love to know how they were made before CNC machines.

[@FlightChops]

Crazy. I can't believe this was done lacking modern machinery for high performance war birds 75 years ago!

[@salvatoreshiggerino6810]

As you can see from the video, all the modern machinery does is replace a lot of elbow grease removing waste. The real precision woodwork still has to be done with human hands. CAM all the way from raw stock to finished product works quite well for relatively homogeneous materials like metals, but a good process hasn't been developed for wood yet.

[@topspeed10]

Awesome work you guys !

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

I remember back in the old days flying into Lancaster airport with a prop between the seats.

[@markmotter7060]

I have one of theirs from before WWII on my LR wall and a cutting board almost 40 years old in my kitchen

[@Silverion26Gaming]

Wow, excellent video.

[@ColeAviation]

I need a new prop for my 1946 Piper J-3 Cub. 👍🏼 Great video!

[@javacup912]

Great video, thanks. Very informative.

[@keithcolmer6668]

what are the differences of pitch in the props

[@colinpovey2904]

Has no idea you guys were just up the road from me in Plant City.

[@bryanbarnett2767]

Great info and insight.... too bad you guys didnt keep the original paint scheme on your '38 Cub

[@whitehedr]

Nicely done tour of the prop manufacturing process. I even learned I have been pronouncing the name of the company incorrectly for 35 years. Sorry about that Sensenich. ROG

[@SmokinwithKasket]

I too have learned I’ve been mispronouncing their name for decades!

[@thomascharlton8545]

Me too!

how much does a prop cost

[@anfalkhan2490]

i want buy pleas help me /wear are avilable this propeller?

[@balajisingrajput9162]

How to the minimum prise one piece ?

[@timinwsac]

Are these props not balanced?

[@panzerlieb]

lol, yes they’re balanced. Did you miss the part where they said they have to go over them with spokeshaves and sanding by hand to balance them?

[@brianb-p6586]

@@panzerlieb finishing the surface is not, by itself, balancing. The video didn't mention checking and correcting balance, but it must be done.

[@mashapromise3364]

Iwant to buy 2 how much??

[@harshalnewalkar6371]

Which wood is used to make propeller?

[@dejanpasalic8126]

Nice !

[@THOMASTHESAILOR]

I made my own Prop on a CNC where I work, It was for a Hover craft.. CNC is the only way to go..

[@richmo619]

Yes,.. Go see Culver Props. Hand made,... by a cute girl :)))

[@robertthomas6127]

Was just there today for the first time. Respect to her for what she acheives. PS- The girl is a married mother of two (;-))

[@rayhanahmedchy2606]

I need propeller how I get I'm from Bangladesh I want make mini trike

[@sematic1]

super cool! dog sitting with my girlfriend and they had one in the living room. thanks for the video. don't they have to be perfectly balanced?? i'm guessing. anyways! neat to learn about.

[@Fantazzim]

Finally I now know its pronounced sen-sin-ick not sen-sin-itch. Feel like I should of been corrected sooner.

[@DumbledoreMcCracken]

I heard sens-sa-nick. Paul starts with a sort-of Palatine German pronunciation.

[@johnyoung4747]

It's still sen-sin-ick in Lancaster (if you know how to pronounce Lancaster).

[@grande521]

Culver propellers all by hand by a beautiful girl not a soul less cnc lol

[@frittsm6417]

considering that hand finishing is required to remove tool marks CNC is some what faster but not necessarily better . Culver props is a viable business with a much lower overhead using a simple duplicating machine and hand finishing with a sander

[@slome815]

Because copy milled propellors have so much soul... Seriously, people have been copy milling propellors since the first world war. Whats the difference really.

[@southjerseysound7340]

@@slome815 a small owner operated business will always have more soul than that of a big business. Also you fail to realize that her grandfather carved the blanks that she uses.

[@RustyorBroken]

That cub looks like it's had too much of Columbia's finest.

[@Pushyhog]

They didn't show how the metal leading edge goes on. Go back and do it over.

[@jakecresn3749]

Gee Whiz, you'd think that a guy who works at the shop would know how to pronounce the name of his company!

[@mplsmark222]

I thought resorcinol glue was banned back in the 1980’s because of carcinogen concerns. Perhaps it has been reformulated.

[@toma5153]

No, same old stuff. Never banned. Older formulations could use formaldehyde as a catalyst but safer options are used now. Used to work at a plant in Tacoma, WA in the mid 80's. We made resorcinol adhesives for the laminated beam industry, 15,000 pound batches at a time.

[@brianb-p6586]

@@toma5153 what would the safe option be? I was not familiar with these adhesives, but in short online research session I could only find resorcinol as a resorcinol -formaldehyde system... with formaldehyde as both the catalyst and integral to the resin.
