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 😂

Sylas is not so little anymore! Woo Hoo!

and how did they balance it after the soldering.

Gotta love a free prop!

Buy it for only $19.99 (it´s a joke) 👍👍

I’ll second that mate 👍✌️🇬🇧

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.

If you were that annoyed with what you did for 30 years that you felt the need to complain about it in some random video when nobody asked then this video isn't the problem

​@@aerialbugsmasher Exactly.

I stop watching videos because of that. This is reality based

That`s why he`s qualified for airplane props and you`re qualified for caskets.

@@REDMAN298 loooooool

Exactly what I was going to say!

I don't mean to complain, but how about a video suspific to making, measuring, cutting, forming, the brass edging. I built a wall hanger propeller for my office. Looks pretty good if I do say so. I'd love to put professional looking brass edging on it. I know you can do it Jim.

That’s pretty cool

Were they prop props? I’ll see myself out…

@@TheStewdansby Indeed they were! (7:

Your boys are great craftsman. Thats is serious work and the end result is amazing. Gotta be honest, I was thinking how great it would be to have something like that hanging on my wall. Well done to you.

Brass? So it’s not a wooden propeller, it’s a wood and brass propeller.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

Since I was a kid in the 50's, I wanted one for my bedroom.

Working from drawings

Unfortunately it's far worse than that.

Using a CNC machine isn’t a talent.

This guy watched 10% of the video

@@ronliebermann the hand tooling to ballance and fit the brass is obviously highly skilled.

@@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.

Small prop builder in Missouri. Her father designed air planes, taught her how to build props. Family business.

Thank you.....Now I don't have to brag on Culver, who is IMO is more impressive.

Yes I think her process is more interesting to watch.

why a wooden prop in this day and age? we have metal.

@@lcfflc3887 wood is cheaper and lighter.

They cost quite a bit less than a metal propeller ! !

The only craftsmanship, was right at the end with the final finishing…….

@@johnnunn8688 ...and the spoke shaving, and the brass work.

@@commentatron , you don’t know what ‘final finishing’ means, obviously?

@@johnnunn8688 Apparently, not. I have flaws. Between your bedside manner and my reading comprehension, we have work to do. I propose we hold a self-imposed moratorium on commenting for the next 20 minutes as penance.

Awesome! Thank you!

The brass looks beautiful, the whole look of a wooden prop is the finishing touch to an airplane.

@@volvo09 Until 20 min. ago, I never knew how exactly it was applied to the prop. Made my day!

You got it!

I think so too!
