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 😂

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.

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.

My two boys worked there when they were in high school. I have a Sensenich prop hanging on the wall in my den. Raised my family and got my pilot’s license in Plant City. Haven’t been there in 20 years. My boys actually made some of the wooden propeller props for the movie Pearl Harbor.

Each propeller they make like that is a work of art. The craftsmanship is off the scale. I only hope that new craftsmen are being trained and that it doesn't become a lost art.

Jimmy, you are giving your son an education the way it should be done. He is going to be so knowledgeable and what you’re giving him money can’t buy. God bless you and keep doing what you’re doing. P.S. thanks for the great video. I always love seeing how things are made!

Watching that guy install the brass leading edge was the icing on the cake, simply amazing

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

My first prop was a wooden wonder from Sensenich. Smooth, beautiful and indestructible. I then purchased Sensenich's Carbon ground adjustable prop. Still fly with it now, ZERO issues...! My wooden prop is hanging from my wall inside my house, BUT , I could take it down and bolt it on any time to my RV4, as it's still in perfectly serviceable condition...! Go Sensenich...!!!

You should look into Culver props. They are a small bespoke prop maker and have some fascinating techniques as well.

workmanship and craftsmanship!

So cool! I love that they go from a hundred year old machine to a modern cnc. Such a cool mix of technology and skill.

Wow, what a process! That is some real American craftsmanship.

Wow, what a combination of modern manufacturing CNC with real deal old world craftsmanship. Outstanding content!

Each wooden propeller is a true work of art.

That’s some of the coolest things I’ve ever watched. Most people have no idea the craftsmanship that still goes into some things these days. Thanks for sharing that!

Really like his gas heated soldering iron. No need to constantly be placing the iron back in the heater/furnace to stay at working temperature. Very nice shop❗ Thanks for posting.

It's awesome to see craftsmen pour their love into the product. It doesn't get any better than that.

Thank you for taking me on this tour, very informative

Thanks for letting us see this process! Honest to goodness, I have wondered for years how new props are made! I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined this process! WOWZERS, that is AMAZING!!!

That was absolutely awesome. Having been a machinist and a pattern maker in my past life I can appreciate the talent in both the equipment design and the operator’s skill. The finishing is as much an art as a skill. Beautiful!

This is very similar to foundry wood pattern making craftsmanship. Finest craftsman I've ever had the honor of working with were old school foundry pattern makers. Their final exam was making a ship's propeller pattern which was incredibly difficult all by hand before CNCs. Hats off to the team at Sensenich for continuing the craft!

Woodworking, metalworking, finishing - it all comes together.

UN FREAKIN REAL !!!!! - So glad to see the machine stop & watch the "real" artists at work... Love it, and to think that used to be all be done by hand !!!! - Thank you Jimmy !!!!!

Simply, the pride and high quality of an American made product, amazing ❤

Takes me back….my Dad worked for Hamilton Standard during WW2 making props at the Windsor Locks location..he tried to enlist ( Army) with his brother but was told to stay with the Defense industry as the prop was more important …I still have a piece of prop he gave me that came off the line

This is an awesome video. It's like a "How it's Made" episode crossed with Jimmys World

Wonderful craftsmanship and a pleasure to watch it all come together. Thank you for these insights.

Ok. So now it's Jimmy's turn to make his own propeller. Just kidding. We just watched many years or decades of experience at work. That was nice of them to allow Jimmy in to watch. Thanks Sensenich.

Watching this you sure can see the reason why Wood Propellers cost so much, stunning craftsmanship.

Best episode of How It's Made I've ever seen

Amazing the craftsmanship to make a propeller like that.

I'm just glad this still exists. Love seeing craftsmanship like this.

Great video Jimmy! There is something magical about watching true craftsmen do their job to the utmost. Fantastic!

That was a proper job by master craftsmen who excell in their trade knowledge wisdom and trickery. Nice one Jimmy

When I was very little my father, a high school social studies teacher had a wooden propeller of around two feet wide. He also had a half-completed wooden boomerang made by a student. As I recall…and it could be my brain searching back well over fifty years…he kept those objects on his classroom desk. Dad loved working with wood, dreamed and planned to learn cabinetry in retirement…and though retired, never lived out his plans… I think of him when I see certain practical objects carefully made!!

Wow what amazing craftsmen! Their talent is astonishing.

Thanks Jimmie, that was awesome.

Very Cerebral sound to a wood worker. My wood prop is a Maple Laminate, a lot like this one... just an old beauty on my wall... glowing, refinished without changing a thing... preserved and ready to use ! Mine is a 16 layer Laminate. It is Gloden Hard Maple / 42X20 pitch.

Another very cool not seen enough of great handcrafted beauty. Really looking forward to seeing this one fly. Thanks again for sharing.... bob

Beautiful manufacturing process. A kind of art! Thanks!

I'm gonna keep my comment simple: quality content. Enough said.

Jimmy! This is one of the coolest videos. I love watching how they make a complex process look easy. Thanks so much for sharing.

Fascinating. What a beautiful piece of work...

A wonderful record of the human ingenuity, and process.

Wow the finished product is a work of art.

What a beautiful piece of art awesome craftmanship

Awesome to see some true craftsmen at work

Thanks for posting and great to watch

I like this type of video from Jimmys, different perspectives.

Absolutely gorgeous work.

Really impressive... Thanks for taking your time to present it.👍

Fascinating to watch! Computer’s do the heavy lifting on the props but it takes the skilled hands of a craftsman to bring it all together!

One of your best Jimmy.

Now I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

That bowl turned out awesome, the figuring is absolutely stunning. You sure can pull the beauty out of a block of wood.

Wow thanks Jimmy loved watching the process of hand making a wooden prop!! It amazes me that people designed and built props like that and still do to this day!

Amazing skill fitting the brass leading edge!

Amazing craftsmanship!

Mesmerizing video and as others have said amazing craftsmanship

WOW REAL Craftsmen !

Even with the initial cutting machine, there is so much skill involved in getting propellers shaped and balanced. Excellent video. Thank you.

Nice one Jimmy. Something of a different flavor for a change. Thanks digger!

I had no idea how much skill and effort it takes to manufacture a wood propeller

Just awesome video Jimmy.....thank you so much for the great field trip....😊

fantastic work, thanks for showing us the brilliant product. cheers NZ

Craftsmanship at its finest! Fantastic video Jimmy!

So Dang cool. Ty for bringing us along. I’ve see so many blades ( when I was working in aviation ) but never knew the process

Amazing craftsmanship!👏👏👏👏

When something is good, the work that goes into making it is also beautiful. Thank you for the nice video.

Hypnotic process. Magical . That is a very nobel pursuit.

The soldering of the screw/rivets heads was a truly satisfying final step. Until then, it all seem sketchy... but soldered in.... perfect.

What ever they cost....its not enough!! Fantastic.

Wow that was awesome to see them make the propeller. Mark of excellence...

Absolutely amazing.
