      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.

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...!!!

    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!

    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!!
