Watching an artist take raw materials and work them into a piece of art is an entertaining process. You doing that to an engineered piece of art, that is a functional part of an airplane ✈️ elevates what you are creating well beyond that. Thank you for producing videos that are a pleasure to watch.
@@CulverProps ⚠️ God has said in the Quran: 🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 ) 🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) 🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) 🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) 🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) ⚠️ Quran
Love the fact you have old worn in tools, and not Festool everything, like every other woodworker has on RU-vid. I'm a Joiner/ Cabinet/furniture maker and appreciate the large amount of handwork you do, not cnc routered, you obviously know your stuff! Brilliant...
Thank you so much. What works well is not always popular, lol. It’s a therapeutic process and I like the extra quality control I can give by doing it this way.
Thanks for sharing. What a pleasurable RU-vid rabbit hole. Popped up on my home page, I assume because of my interest in wood working videos, but I have never seen a wooden propeller made. Unique trade and craftsmanship.
I just needed to reach out and say this ; Hear is the thing, I have no interest in Planes as such, unless its a Spitfire!!, I can not fly, And half the time when your mentioning names and numbers of planes your Props are going to be fitted on too, Its like wooosh, right over the top of my head. However..... How I came upon your Channel is still a mystery to me, But the thing is I look forward so much to your content and explanations, I find it strangely satisfying and soothing to watch you work your magic and your skill levels are off the charts. It relaxes me, And for that I just wanted to thank you. There are very few things that can relax me the way you are able to do while watching you turn lumps of wood into works of art. THANK YOU. Take care and Stay safe. Love and Respect from North London UK.
I love the way straight grain maple gives you the guides for shaping a smooth radius and taper on a piece. The Guitar necks I make usually are so close as to only need slight profile adjustments for individual feel. Nice work as always. Take care
What you do is what the EAA is supposed to be all about. I wish they'd return more to their roots with promoting experimentation, fabrication, engineering, design, etc. more. Seeking out various industry experts to help put together more books on all aspects of aeronautical engineering, research, latest ideas, etc. But it's good to see people recognizing and showcasing the work you do.
Nice work. I've made hundreds of props, all of them for model aircraft use for competition models, mostly for racing. Many of them were molded but some were carved from solid like in the vid. For the racing models I not only balanced the props for 15,000 rpm but I also matched the pitch distribution along the length of each blade.
when you added that post-it, and the prop stopped...my jaw dropped. jimmy's world just did a How It's Made for wooden props, and the people in the comments were talking about you, so i decided to check it out. so cool. subscribed!
Very nice! Love the colours of the wood. I’ve made one propeller so far (cherry) and it looks great… didn’t have the skill for bandsawing close to the hub so I used a variety of rasps, spoke shaves and small planes and it worked out really well…doesn’t take much time at all and you can go 1 mm at a time for extra care.
WOW….fabulous work. As an old Air Force Prop Mechanic, I was amazed at your technique of building props out of wood. I pass through Rolla on occasion and would love to see your shop. Please let me know if you give tours!
i used to carve my own model airplane props because i had no money to buy them after they broke. brings back memories. you need to give 3m mesh paper a try.
I'm watching from far away from Japan, a propeller that is very beautiful whenever I see it, I want to make such a propeller someday, oh! It's a great job, even though it doesn't have an aircraft.
you are amazing, the great skill you have, i love your videos, you dont make them everyday [ this is what makes them so good ] and your music choices are great, not loud or annoying. thank you so much for the effort you put into the videos tell how you do it
Im gonna be hypoxic by the time l finish watching you finish on that bandsaw! At first l was like "Well that looks simple enough". Then you tilted it on it's side and just started freehanding/eyeballing those blends. Then l realized l hadn't breathed in about a minute and a half!
Does it have to be certified by FFA, I did some welding on a exhaust manifold from a aircraft, later someone told me I had to be certified by FAA to do that
You make it look sooooo easy but this is because of extensive experience and unmatched craftswomanship. Your hand eye coordination on the bandsaw is incredible. Have you ever had a finger in the wrong place at the wrong time? I hope not.
I want to make a RC plane thats about 10x smaller than the real model. what materials should i use for the propeller? (wood doesnt seem to really fit my type)
I worked in an Eaton owned facility in New York one time and couldn’t figure out why the entire floor was made out of small 4x4 blocks of wood placed vertically in the floor. When I asked why I was told that they made P-38 propellers there during WWII, and the wood floor saved props that were inadvertently dropped.
