As master craftsman of 55 yrs, now 70! I am very impressed with her skills. Very clever indeed.

Fantástico Trabajo,Señora es usted una Artesana de gran nivel!! La felicito realmente para los que trabajamos con nuestras manos y sabemos apreciar ,lo suyo es impresionante,!!! Un Saludo desde Argentina !!!!!!!

Beautiful and Very Talented all in one. Love seeing the old planes with period accurate wooden props. Great video!

As an old Carpenter. I'm impressed by your confidence when using the power tools especially the band saw. Great craftsmanship.

Funny. She drags out a belt sander and my heart stops for a second. Doesn't scare her, though. She knows exactly what she's doing. Amazing!

Great video. Old fashioned craftsmanship right there.

Great to see how a propeller is made, good craftsmanship.

An impressive series. I never knew how old style wooden propellers were made so quite a treat to get the basics shown in these three videos. I am also impressed by your skill at the band saw and only wish I could have half that skill and confidence. Well done!

Your knowledge and skill never fail to impress. They are truly an art.

What great work!! I am a retired cabinetmaker and Really enjoyed your prop videos!! Thank you🙂

Enjoy watching your workmanship. Thanks for sharing.

You have a gift. Not many wood prop makers left out there. I hope you can pass it on forward.

Unbelievable, love to see you work !!!!

How fascinating!! And I am even more impressed that you are carrying on your grandfather's legacy. He would be so proud of you!! With best regards from Malaysia.

Very impressive craftsmanship. And the end product is something to be extremely proud of. Well done Ladies.

Wow, you are amazing... I very like your work You are like a perfect carpenter.

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.

A girl with looks & talent. I didn't think there were any left in the world!

I have never enjoyed any “how it’s made” video as much, I can’t stop watching them.

There I no substitute for "Pure Skills"! Thats all I got! Great video. Thanks!

What a lovely vocation you have - creating functional, balanced, propellers!! Just think of the exacting standards and tolerances needed for it to correctly power an aircraft - and it's all done by hand!! What amazing skills effect you have!! 👍

Letting the saw do the work is the skill/art part of it. Nice work! I've always admired the craftsmanship involved in air screw fabrication. Whenever I see one on display I can't help but go and check it out if possible.

I have been anxiously waiting for another video! Thanks for posting!

You are an artist Ma’am! Such care for the craftsmanship. Truly a beautiful process to watch!

Outstanding!!!!! Thanks for not wearing yoga pants, but rather showing your craftmanship, not the norm anymore.

I work in IT and I'm regularly frustrated with constantly being confronted with yet another new technology, and equipment that is outdated and unsupported after 4 or 5 years. Then I jokingly say "I wish I had learned a real trade". Especially as a private pilot myself I could totally imagine myself doing this work! By the way, your craftmanship should be rewarded with a personalised signature on each finished prop!

You are a very good craft person. Thank you for providing a history of how wooden propellers are made.

Nice to see you back Alaina. Hopefully Mikey Plane Savers orders a prop from you for his Fokker DR-1 project

Beautiful work! Nice video thanks for sharing

Nice to see Great craftsmanship is still alive and well !!

I have got to say, one of the most satisfying things to watch is that stream of wood dust getting sucked into the extractor on that drum sander!

We need the proof that this will fly! Day 4. Propeller gets airborne! Great work!

Thought I was going to loose it when I saw you cutting with the bandsaw. Wish I had that much control and confidence. Beautiful work and I agree with R Miller hoping that Mickey contacts you.

Brilliant work!!

I don't know how I ended up here but I watched and stayed 'til the end, fascinating, and I'm surprised that mahogany is strong enough to do everything a prop must do - obviously it is and it does!! 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. Look after your back :o) Anyhow, respect from the U.K. to you and your business, thanks for the great vidoes.

In our modern time of mass produced stuff, it's great to see hand work. Very nice job.

From pilot and aircraft mechanic, you are doing a great job! props to you (pun intended) I really enjoy your attention to detail and your skills.

Your craft skills speaks volumes. Great job.

Fantastic technique (touch) and control with the band-saw, especially with a bulky piece such as that prop.

I assumed that propellers where shaped by steam, every day is a learning day. I would buy one just to hang it on my wall and look at and admire the skills used to create such a beautiful piece of work.

Great craftsmanship, work of art.

It is always fascinating to watch you use the band saw the way you do. You would have a LOT of firewood is most of us tried it that way. Great work as usual.

It's very difficult to design and built wooden props.What we see is frankly amazing Gifted person.Sincere congratulations and bonjour from France.

Its vary nice you're work vary amaizing i see you make propelar i understand also . now i make that . thanks .

As a maker and restorer of armour I enjoyed watching someone else working with their hands and gauging so much by eye... Weeks of work all of which could be wasted by a single careless strike of a file! Best wishes to you... Subscribed. PS: My Great Grandfather worked for Vickers. 🏆🇬🇧⚒️

Beautiful work as always :)

Best KZfaq videos I’ve seen in awhile. You are an artist and an incredible craftswoman.

You wear your work nicely. Sawdust from head to toe. Very nice work. Glad to see such pride put into a workpiece.

Rare trade. Excellent work. Beauty and brains - husband is a lucky guy. Props, er - Kudos to you, Ma'am.

I can relate to your comment about sanding by feel rather than sight. I do the same thing when I trim my horses' feet.

Great jig to hold the prop while using the orbital sander. Is mahogany hard to come by and probably very expensive. Good to see you again, thanks for the video

just found you via Xyla's channel! I teach tech and engineering at James Wood Middle School in Winchester VA! We are going to watch your collaboration with Xyla and then pick a series of yours for our end of year project for making prop our Technology Student Association flight project!! You are Amazing! Also would love to have you as a guest speaker Zoom call some day next year if you have the time!

Amazing work. Thank you for a beautiful video.

I find this whole process fascinting! Fantastic video!

Alaina !!! Wonderful to see that beautiful smile -- er -- dust mask hard at work. I could just watch your work all day. A great craftsman is an artist in woodwork. You are a true artist. Would love to see a video on what you have to do to fix a prop after a ground strike, or even if you can fix a wooden prop? Love your video's !!!

Cutest bandsaw operator ever

Very impressive work! Thank you for sharing .

What a wonderful and interesting job you have. I’d love to do what you do for work. I bet its very rewarding seeing the beautiful and functional product you craft.

I Love your beautifull work

Lovely to watch You do have a skill there

I really enjoyed watching those 3 videos. What an amazing skill set & lovely temperament you have. Greetings from Sydney AUS (Still in lockdown)

Thank you again for these videos. Just a tip... Carbatec make an awesome product called turbo plane. It may help you in fast removal of stock rather than holding the piece like you do at the bandsaw and make the sanding quicker?! Hate to be a stickler too but please wear ear protection. The years of working with and around noisy machines has crept up on me and now wish I was more careful.

How cool would it be if you had a “Builders Assist” program where people could have a hand in making their own prop. The Craftsmanship is outstanding, so cool you are keeping it alive.

Absolutely amazing ... you are an embodiment of skills, experience, passion and determination - I have by now seen a few other videos of yours. Please wear protective goggles especially when wood sanding and that dust is flying all over and do arrange for help on a day when you do heavy lifting. Be safe and God bless.

Great Job :))) I loved how focus you were !!!

Good job making life sices propeller prop.

Watching you work I keep seeing Garret Blake in the film *Message in a Bottle*. Strong image. I notice you're a bodily extension of the band saw. Amazing. Yes, an artist.

*never in my life imagined a woman crafting an aircraft propeller it's my first time and im really impressed by the skills*

A digital readout (DRO) on your mill would make drilling the hub much easier and VERY accurate. You could clamp down the prop, enter the bolt pattern and start drilling.

Awesome job! Job that you really need to do right the first time! Alot of talent and skill!👍👍👍👍👍

Great job 👍

Good job. Awesome ladys. 😁👍👍

Very impressive!!! Beautiful job!!!
