I just needed to reach out and say this ; Hear is the thing, I have no interest in Planes as such, unless its a Spitfire!!, I can not fly, And half the time when your mentioning names and numbers of planes your Props are going to be fitted on too, Its like wooosh, right over the top of my head. However..... How I came upon your Channel is still a mystery to me, But the thing is I look forward so much to your content and explanations, I find it strangely satisfying and soothing to watch you work your magic and your skill levels are off the charts. It relaxes me, And for that I just wanted to thank you. There are very few things that can relax me the way you are able to do while watching you turn lumps of wood into works of art. THANK YOU. Take care and Stay safe. Love and Respect from North London UK.
Watching an artist take raw materials and work them into a piece of art is an entertaining process. You doing that to an engineered piece of art, that is a functional part of an airplane ✈️ elevates what you are creating well beyond that. Thank you for producing videos that are a pleasure to watch.

Thanks for sharing. What a pleasurable TH-cam rabbit hole. Popped up on my home page, I assume because of my interest in wood working videos, but I have never seen a wooden propeller made. Unique trade and craftsmanship.
Love the fact you have old worn in tools, and not Festool everything, like every other woodworker has on TH-cam. I'm a Joiner/ Cabinet/furniture maker and appreciate the large amount of handwork you do, not cnc routered, you obviously know your stuff! Brilliant...
Thank you so much. What works well is not always popular, lol. It’s a therapeutic process and I like the extra quality control I can give by doing it this way.
when you added that post-it, and the prop stopped...my jaw dropped. jimmy's world just did a How It's Made for wooden props, and the people in the comments were talking about you, so i decided to check it out. so cool. subscribed!
Very nice! Love the colours of the wood. I’ve made one propeller so far (cherry) and it looks great… didn’t have the skill for bandsawing close to the hub so I used a variety of rasps, spoke shaves and small planes and it worked out really well…doesn’t take much time at all and you can go 1 mm at a time for extra care.
What you do is what the EAA is supposed to be all about. I wish they'd return more to their roots with promoting experimentation, fabrication, engineering, design, etc. more. Seeking out various industry experts to help put together more books on all aspects of aeronautical engineering, research, latest ideas, etc. But it's good to see people recognizing and showcasing the work you do.
WOW….fabulous work. As an old Air Force Prop Mechanic, I was amazed at your technique of building props out of wood. I pass through Rolla on occasion and would love to see your shop. Please let me know if you give tours!
Im gonna be hypoxic by the time l finish watching you finish on that bandsaw! At first l was like "Well that looks simple enough". Then you tilted it on it's side and just started freehanding/eyeballing those blends. Then l realized l hadn't breathed in about a minute and a half!
i used to carve my own model airplane props because i had no money to buy them after they broke. brings back memories. you need to give 3m mesh paper a try.
I love the way straight grain maple gives you the guides for shaping a smooth radius and taper on a piece. The Guitar necks I make usually are so close as to only need slight profile adjustments for individual feel. Nice work as always. Take care
I'm watching from far away from Japan, a propeller that is very beautiful whenever I see it, I want to make such a propeller someday, oh! It's a great job, even though it doesn't have an aircraft.
I worked in an Eaton owned facility in New York one time and couldn’t figure out why the entire floor was made out of small 4x4 blocks of wood placed vertically in the floor. When I asked why I was told that they made P-38 propellers there during WWII, and the wood floor saved props that were inadvertently dropped.
Nice work. I've made hundreds of props, all of them for model aircraft use for competition models, mostly for racing. Many of them were molded but some were carved from solid like in the vid. For the racing models I not only balanced the props for 15,000 rpm but I also matched the pitch distribution along the length of each blade.
You make it look sooooo easy but this is because of extensive experience and unmatched craftswomanship. Your hand eye coordination on the bandsaw is incredible. Have you ever had a finger in the wrong place at the wrong time? I hope not.
To balance these props, next time put two sealed bearings in the prop and then put an axle into the inner diameter. The friction of wood against the axle as you are doing now will be eliminated, you can get very slippery sealed bearings, these are only for balancing and can be easily installed and removed.
you are amazing, the great skill you have, i love your videos, you dont make them everyday [ this is what makes them so good ] and your music choices are great, not loud or annoying. thank you so much for the effort you put into the videos tell how you do it
Me: How do you make a propeller, Alaina? Alaina: You just glue some boards together. Then you saw and sand away everything that doesn't look like a propeller. I know, I know. Old joke, but she makes it real.
"How to make an airplane propeller when it's already 3/4ths of the way done"
Ok smarty you make one and put it on your channel!
Great Craftsmanship. Always enjoy your videos and attention to detail. Thank You.

Nice looking lady building a beautiful propeller. Thanks for sharing!
I truly appreciate the band saw skills.The balancing act (literally) is mystifying. She knows exactly what needs attention.
Thanks for sharing. What a pleasurable TH-cam rabbit hole. Popped up on my home page, I assume because of my interest in wood working videos, but I have never seen a wooden propeller made. Unique trade and craftsmanship.
I was expecting a cnc operation yet this was hand carved on a band saw and drum sander, I'm astonished. So good. God bless
Thank you!

Hi!! I am amazed with the amount of knowledge, skills and everything I am seeing here!! 😮😮Uau!!!
2 mins in your freehand bandsaw angle cuts curled my toes you ran it so close, but so accurate. Best woodwork I've seen.
when you added that post-it, and the prop stopped...my jaw dropped. jimmy's world just did a How It's Made for wooden props, and the people in the comments were talking about you, so i decided to check it out. so cool. subscribed!
Friday evening prop lessons !
BONUS ! 😇❤
My prop build lady back at it again. I would like to see it after it's stained and sealed. Love your work.
Magnifique travail ! Une Hélice Bois faite à la main !👏👏👏🌹🌹
You make it look so Easy, I dread to think what it would look like if I tried it.
That's great. 👍 Congratulations!
No rings on your hands. Good safety planning. The maple and mahogany really pop. Thanks
That is a beautiful prop
I really love curves crafted in wood. its so beautiful compared to angles. I dont know anything about airplane props.
clearly. 😂
As always another masterpiece!! Well done Alaina!
Just watching this is therapeutic. Can’t imagine having the talent to make something so functional and pretty.
I love these full length videos. :))
You have many talents and skills, but wow, you are an ACE on that bandsaw!
Thank you!
That prop looks awesome with the two woods. You are a beast on the bandsaw by the way. I give you props lol
Thank you! Lol
Very nice! Love the colours of the wood.

What a gorgeous prop!
Anybody with sufficient training can operate a cnc machine. Hand finishing requires an artist's touch.
Thank you!

Jerry Rosa sent me. Beautiful work.
Thank you. Jerry is a good family friend. 😊
Thanks again for sharing what you do! absolutely amazing!

Lol!! Thank you! The bandsaw is one of my favorite parts
i used to carve my own model airplane props because i had no money to buy them after they broke. brings back memories. you need to give 3m mesh paper a try.
Very nice I always find sanding very therapeutic and satisfying once you apply the top coat
Yes
What an artist.....If I ever get my ultralight it will have your Culver prop.
Brilliant! What a fine result. The hands of a master maker. Thank you for sharing.
You are like a surgeon with that bandsaw!!! Amazing work!
Wow came across your videos and thought I would love to replace my boring ceiling fan with one of these pieces of art. Amazing 😮
I love the way straight grain maple gives you the guides for shaping a smooth radius and taper on a piece.
The Guitar necks I make usually are so close as to only need slight profile adjustments for individual feel.
Nice work as always.
Take care
Thank you!
Oh man! I was hoping to see it with varnish. That two tone looks great.
Beautiful propeller with beautiful hands.
Insane level of craftmanship.
Real Nice work, for what it is worth, you have my vote of confidence .
She TRULY TRULY loves her ART!
WONDERFUL !
You are very talented. Your work is truly an art.
I'm watching from far away from Japan, a propeller that is very beautiful whenever I see it, I want to make such a propeller someday, oh! It's a great job, even though it doesn't have an aircraft.
Золотые руки и очень красивая.
Только в телевизоре такую и можно встретить.
Подписка✌✌✌.
Your freehand skills with the bandsaw are amazing!
That was great. You are really good with the saw and sanding. Bravo👍
You do amazing work very impressive 👌So enjoyable to watch ! I love airplanes
As pretty as the lady! 🤩 I really enjoyed the cheese slicing at the hub with the bandsaw!🤗
You are a very gifted woman!
Thank you, Alaina great job Would love to see one completely finished and ready to fit to the aircraft.👍👍
absolutely beautiful propeller
You're amazing on the bandsaw. I had a gulp at first watching you cut out the hub area . Your gramps has to be very proud of you as he watches on
Thank you! Sometimes I make myself gulp. Lol I always worry I have cut too deep
What a doll. I could watch you for a life time!
Just started watching your excellant talents again, beautiful. Keep on smiling.
OUTSTANDING WORKMANSHIP!!!
Vacum suction very important in wood working otherwise all over place dust and smoke
Being a watchmaker I am impressed with your workmanship and wish to join your workshop. Thank you.

All your Props look so fantastic. You are so talented.
Wow , absolutely beautiful , and that propeller you made propeller aint hard to look at either ...
Very impressive, mad skills on the band saw. Only tool in 50 years of every day wood working that bit me!
It can sure get you quick
Yes It can, by the way Jerry Rosa is the one that told me about you
Looking awesome Alaina !

prettiest thing made out of wood ever, nice!
That was really very interesting, captivating.
Thank you!

What a awesome job keep up the great videos.
from prince Edward Island Canada.
Really awesome skills for sure!!
Absolutely perfect!
Espetacular vosso trabalho, gostei muito da copiadora no outro video
Good stuff!! Thx for keeping the world company. It's a lonely planet!
Вот это рукодельница👍👍👍
Good-looking propeller 👍💕
Love your work.
Nice workwomenship:)
Try getting and oscillating drum sander. It moves up and down a bit .it will save you time and sand paper.
You make it look easy! Not fair!
I would love to have one like that with a clock in it
You do good work!
One cut I was saying to close! to close! toooooooo close but nope! PERFECT.🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸
Special talent. You should be proud. 🎉
Nice job.

Mesmerizing. I see a lot of props from the past in the dancelike movements that go into creating these marvelous works. Thank you!
you are amazing, the great skill you have, i love your videos, you dont make them everyday [ this is what makes them so good ] and your music choices are great, not loud or annoying.
thank you so much for the effort you put into the videos tell how you do it
Thank you!
It’s beautiful.
hola saludos desde Colombia
Cool whirligig airplane hanging up in the back ground.
Me: How do you make a propeller, Alaina?
Alaina: You just glue some boards together. Then you saw and sand away everything that doesn't look like a propeller.
I know, I know. Old joke, but she makes it real.
🤣
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful
I think youare great howevery you need to upload your videos in 16x9 format. I make carbonfibre propellers for model airplanes.
Wow...josss tenan iki...mantaaaaaaap
Good job 😊
Seu trabalho e muito interessante que madeira vc usar
I SPY DUAL GLUE - 👀 🤣 🤣 🤣
Amazing place and people, I've bought some of their scrap wood. Great folks!
Thank you!
