How amazing and very specialized work! My congratulations! This is the first time I see the process. I could not imagine all the necessary effort... It remembered me the time when I was a boy and my father taught how to carve a small propeller, "similar" to these ones, to use in a wind wooden vane plane I would make. I used a piece of cedarwood and carved it with my pocket knife. In those times, all boys were proud of having their own pocket knives! Thank you for bring me back such a happy memory. 👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆 fro 🇧🇷 Brazil P.s.: Sorry for my not so good English.

I've watched all of your vids now and the story of how and why you took over from your grandfather, it's humbling to see that you saw it almost as your duty, hats off to you. Standing up all day and working at machines can play havoc with a human back but I guess you've built body strength from doing what you do, I get tired just watching you.
