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.
