• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

How it's made: airplane propellers

For some reason I can NOT get YouTube to work. When I click on movie to start it says "an error occurred, please try again later" and won't do anything. I've tried all times of the day and get the same again and again. Anyone know what's happening plz ??

Some years ago the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) used to have it's own TV series on a channel called SPEED and one of their segments had one of the master prop makers, a chap well into his seventies, from either Ole Fahlin or Sensenich do a complete carving sequence for one of their wooden props; from selecting, cutting and laminating the wood, through initial shaping and carving with various templates, then fine carving, sanding, painting, balancing, and tacking on a protective brass leading edge strip then final balancing. Wooden props truly are works of art.
