My paternal grandfather hand carved propellers for British WW1 aircraft, I have his spoke shaves in my workshop.

Great Craftsmanship. Always enjoy your videos and attention to detail. Thank You.

I truly appreciate the band saw skills.The balancing act (literally) is mystifying. She knows exactly what needs attention.

Nice looking lady building a beautiful propeller. Thanks for sharing!

I was expecting a cnc operation yet this was hand carved on a band saw and drum sander, I'm astonished. So good. God bless

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.

Isso não se trata de uma hélice mas sim de uma obra-de-arte! Parabéns!!!

2 mins in your freehand bandsaw angle cuts curled my toes you ran it so close, but so accurate. Best woodwork I've seen.

Thanks for sharing. What a pleasurable KZread 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.

As always another masterpiece!! Well done Alaina!

Love the fact you have old worn in tools, and not Festool everything, like every other woodworker has on KZread. 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...

Hi!! I am amazed with the amount of knowledge, skills and everything I am seeing here!! 😮😮Uau!!!

My prop build lady back at it again. I would like to see it after it's stained and sealed. Love your work.

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.

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!

Thanks again for sharing what you do! absolutely amazing!

No rings on your hands. Good safety planning. The maple and mahogany really pop. Thanks

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!

You make it look so Easy, I dread to think what it would look like if I tried it.

Brilliant! What a fine result. The hands of a master maker. Thank you for sharing.

That's great. 👍 Congratulations!

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.

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.

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!

Looking awesome Alaina !

Oh man! I was hoping to see it with varnish. That two tone looks great.

To balance these props, next time put two sealed bearings in the prop and then put an axle into the inner diameter. The friction of wood against the axle as you are doing now will be eliminated, you can get very slippery sealed bearings, these are only for balancing and can be easily installed and removed.

What a doll. I could watch you for a life time!

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.

Absolutely perfect!

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.

What an artist.....If I ever get my ultralight it will have your Culver prop.

absolutely beautiful propeller

She TRULY TRULY loves her ART! WONDERFUL !

Real Nice work, for what it is worth, you have my vote of confidence .

You are a very gifted woman!

You do amazing work very impressive 👌So enjoyable to watch ! I love airplanes

Beautiful propeller with beautiful hands.

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.

Anybody with sufficient training can operate a cnc machine. Hand finishing requires an artist's touch.

Nice job.

Seu trabalho e muito interessante que madeira vc usar

I always thought propellers were manufactured under strict guidelines and instrumentation so all the curves and angles are exactly the same which is why they are balanced.....no just the hand and eye coordination of an artist that has waaaay to much patience for a human being.
