    Excellent vid. I wish I knew about this shop 40 years ago. I will be sending Any work I have to these folks. If you look at the care taken in the shop setup tells you a lot about the quality of work performed. The work coming out of here is probably better than factory original. I really hope that this shop is doing the same excellent work 45 years from now. How is it possible to have this many top craftsman in one place, I think it says something about the management. Awesome is a word used a lot but it does apply to the work shown in the vidjoe. Wow ! I will be talking about this shop to all my boating friends, sure is nice to have this right here in ontario

    I knew a fellow years ago that did this for a living . Watching him turn something that looked like it belonged in the scrap bin back into a new prop was like magic , sadly he is gone now . RIP John.

    I don’t think most people know how critical little things are on propellers. Many years ago, I use to race model tunnel hulls. I raced in the stock engine class and just about every race (I won a lot), I got challenged to have my engine inspected. The engine was totally stock and unmodified. The prop was the secret and it was pulled or covered so no one could study it. I can’t believe no one caught on. Everyone else was running two blades because they were supposedly faster but I had settled on a three blade. You would buy these as a raw casting and have to spend time on it(finger cramps). I was very careful to retain the “cup” and the small kick on the trailing edge. The back sides of the blades were sharpened, not the face. The trailing edge was squared, not feathered to a sharp edge. I was amazed at how butchered most model props were. The bad thing was those props were made with beryllium (a metal stiffer) which can cause cancer if the dust is inhaled.

  • @SnowTiger45

    I started to learn this craft at Three Buoys Houseboats in Buckhorn, Ontario MANY moons ago.
    I was already a licensed welder but had an opportunity to learn Marine Mechanics, starting with welding Props and Skegs. Unfortunately, my Aluminum Welding experience was limited to Tig and they used Mig. Now I can Mig weld steel but I obviously wasn't too good with the aluminum.
    Anyway, I was put on pontoon and water/sewage tank repairs for the time being. I can't remember why I left there but I wasn't there long as it turned out.
    But I wish I had learned the skill of prop and skeg repair. There appears to be a good market for it in the Kawarthas.
    This is an Amazing shop with apparently ALL the tools and dyes and molds for the industry.

    • @greenriver520
      @greenriver520 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Don't be hard on yourself. In my opinion, TIG is by far the best method for welding aluminium. I used to enjoy rebuilding props, when I was on the tools. Changed career 30 years ago, so no doubt things have changed a bit. Retired now, so this video brought back fond memories.

    Out here in California they just throw away the old prop and buy a new one.
    A total waste! I started saving years ago all the props my neighbors boat repair service would chuck. They said new ones are only a couple hundred bucks referring to a common Mercury prop. So how much does it cost to re-condition a common Mercury Prop?
    I'm sure these used ones are worth something as cores. ?
