This is trippy to watch, my 1st job out of high school was here. I haven’t seen the inside of this building in like 25 years. Looks like Don & Steve are still there. I made drone props & ran the shipping & my brother worked in glue ups. I am assuming that open bed CNC replaced the equipment I used. When I was there, we had just started making composite props. I can literally smell things in this video lol, the wood, the glue, it’s just missing 98 Rock & Bubba the Love Sponge 😂

After 30 years of working in a window factory operating milling machines, moulders and tenioner machines. Excuse Google's spelling. Prior to that, 4 years in the Air Force loading weapons on aircraft and then listening to the engines spool up as they're ready to take off for a sorti, add to that many years of carpentry and woodworking using routers, planers and saws, for extra money and as a hobby, I rather enjoy the music instead of the mind-numbing drone of all these tools. But to each his own. Have a nice day.

In 1973 my dad hand carved a propeller for me for my science fair project, which I used to create L/D ratios of different airfoils in my homemade wind tunnel . It was made from a 2x6 and was perfectly balanced, and created the amount of airflow for me to conduct my experiments. Fourty years on since he did that for me I still remember him making templates from hand for each 1/2” of the prop to make sure the airfoil on the prop was perfect. I miss him.

My Grandfather (he was born in 1886) worked for many years with the Packard Piano Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana back when WW I broke out (I am 75).The company switched to wartime production and manufactured airplane propellers such as these. I still have many of his hand tools from when he worked there, plus a scaled down propeller that I assume that he made..

When I was very little my father, a high school social studies teacher had a wooden propeller of around two feet wide. He also had a half-completed wooden boomerang made by a student. As I recall…and it could be my brain searching back well over fifty years…he kept those objects on his classroom desk. Dad loved working with wood, dreamed and planned to learn cabinetry in retirement…and though retired, never lived out his plans… I think of him when I see certain practical objects carefully made!!

As a kid my daddy flew me around in an old Stearman once in awhile. I was fascinated with its wooden propeller. How did they get the wood to do that? Now I know. I’d sure like to fly in that old plane again. It was one of my great childhood memories. I’ll never forget that prop. It was a Sensenich. Beauty in motion, and all that pretty brass.

@@n00b1n8R If a machine does all the work, then the machine operator isn’t a skilled craftsman. The apprenticeship for woodworking is around four years. But in a communist country, men aren’t supposed to be skilled. Instead, an army of interchangeable morons are supposed to simply push buttons on a machine. The intent is to deny individuals credit for their work. After all, skilled tradesmen are valuable members of their community. Marx’s main contention was that manual labor should pay the most, because it’s an act of value-creation. He said that paying workers less than a full wage by taking-out payroll taxes is exploitation. In America, physical labor pays very little, while non-physical activity pays a lot. Doctors and Lawyers get paid $200 an hour; for doing almost nothing. A girl at Burger King who works very hard gets only $12 an hour. In a communist country, people aren’t supposed to be valued for their hard work, or goodwill, or output. Communists are mean and lazy. That’s why so many of them receive HUD homes and food stamps. Or join the Army. Blacks think that “Heroic victimhood” is a superior alternative to well-earned respect. So Communists are divided into victims and rescuers. Blacks are the victims, while the Government and the War Department are the very expensive rescuers. But this attempt to destroy men, and personal skill, and reputation isn’t just a communist power play. Millions of old people want “copyright” to become a source of income. So instead of “taxes” (which are obviously unfair) the girl at Burger King will pay “Royalties”. If she says “Burger King” the microphone will charge her account ten cents. Eventually she’ll learn to be quiet. Like everyone else.

I was going to ask about that too. I'm speculating. It's impossible for the balance not to be disrupted after all that heavy metal has been added. The only way to rebalance it would be to either bury tiny lead weights somewhere, or to sand the brass thinner in some areas. I'm guessing they did the balancing process but didn't show it in the video because it wouldn't look nice.

very nice to see this video i remember seeing a vintage black and white film, showing how aluminum blades were made, not sure if they were hollow as they looked to be a solid block, then a milling machine cut the blade, using a master blade to copy from, the machine went round and round cutting the tip towards the hub, i forget if the master were larger or smaller, but the copying was very impressive to watch, genius even by today's standard - i'm always impressed by old engineering and where we have come to today i've seen coins made in a similar way, a master produced and copied at the larger size, and then transferred to what will become the tooling at finished size to stamp out the coins - great video boyz

Kudos to all the people their skills, experience involved in selecting & furnishing materials, planing, equipment, making, the wood aeroplane propellers. Thanks for sharing video. The process invites pondering the background and history of proppellers. After all their roots and function are related to oars, rudders, ... made by i.e., Inuit for kayaks & other First Nations peoples for their canoes, Ancient cultures Egyptians, Quin, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Vikings, Polynesians, etc for their various boats, ships. Accordingly, how the above people devised and made things millennea ago.

A band saw takes serious skill. Wood might be easier than certain metals but it's still not easy. I use one on a weekly basis so I can attest to his accuracy, he is a master.

Hi Jimmy, Now we all know why a propeller is so expensive. Meticulous attention to detail and outstanding craftsmanship. Can't wait to see it spin for the first time.👍

Jimmy What a great video showing the detail that goes into making a wooden propeller ! I had a wide blade Sensenich prop hanging on a 540 Lycoming on my airboat. Had great power and would climb hills in Lake Kissimmee and Hatchineha. Always loved looking at that big wide blade prop and it was finished great like a work of art LOL

I remember when Sensinich was in Pennsylvania years ago and having to fly up there with props from our school planes. It was so interesting to watch this being done before computer tables.
