Hello Alaina, It so great to see you’re back and with great content. Terminology has always been a part of discussions and we appreciate your input and support your efforts . The front mounting plane has been a mounting face as long as I remember. Keep up the great craftsmanship and providing the wonderful content.
Nice work. The small nicely pre-manufactured Model-Airplane propellers only have to be sanded a bit, to remove flash. Statically balanced in one plane. Model Helicopter blades two or more, has on the other hand to be balanced at their balance point equal along the same length, and also to the same static balance or weight, so as to avoid strange kinds of weird vibrations and flapping. One can use thin strips of adesive tape to bring them into balance. Otherwise, the rotor-head might start to shake and oscillate in a bad manner, allmost uncontrollable, and a forced landing imminently demanded.
Very impressive to see your craftsmanship talents.Perhaps you could lend your traits to Boeing/Spirit Aerosystems on their issues with the Boeing 737 Max 9. Have a prosperous and Happy New Year!
Hey Dusty, it has been a loooong time. The glasses are very becoming and am always impressed with your free hand ability on the bandsaw. Your hand-eye coordination is over the top. Heaven forbid, but if you should ever trip and fall on the way back to the house, a mushroom cloud of dust would let everyone know where you are. :-) Welcome back and stay safe.
lol! Yeah for Christmas this year Dad thought it would be funny to get me several shirts with funny sawdust sayings on them. 🤣 I’ll have to show them off soon
I’m a cabinetmaker. This quality of handmade crafted quality is just fantastic. I marvel at what you do. This is the finest craftsmanship I’ve ever seen. Truly an artisan. So enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for sharing these videos.
hahaha 😀21:33 balancing the props are really what gets your girly perfectionist brain going- I assume this is the most challenging NOT FUN part of building propellers- BALANCING- looks like a head ache- 🙂
As always perfection Alaina. Keep making videos, you're a talented and intelligent lady and I enjoy watching you do what you do. Thanks for posting. Keep on smiling.
We've spoken about my Dad's farm which was adjacent to Gene Smith's farm, Dr Vest. Just wondering, have you perhaps considered making wood sculptures? I think you could make some really great pieces utilizing your skills! 3:35
I have the same bandsaw. Best one I ever owned. I enjoy watching the process. Thanks for videoing. It’s funny, we travel from Indianapolis to Arizona once a year and probably to Branson a couple times a year. I always honk when I pass your shop outside Rolla.
Great job thank you for the videos, Just have one question as far as balance goes when you varnish or paint or whatever how does this affect your balance.??
Always top tier Aviation hand work on the propellers. I so enjoy watching a good hearted person doing the very best. Culver Props must have a backlog of orders. A true art form hand making the airfoil on each blade that is a rare skill. I remember “AgentJZ @ S&S Turbines repairing the damaged compressor blades of the GE N79 turbojet with afterburner getting all the damage filed off and reducing the leading edge of the little airfoil of the compressor blade the same rare skill. Thank you for posting I have followed Culver Props over 12 years. Cheers Kristy
That looks awesome! Do you sell factory seconds? I'd love a prop to hang in my place, but I don't have the cash to buy a brand new pro just for that. 😊
Imagine sending this prop back in time with a note to Leonardo da Vinci and telling him he is on the right track. I think he might be baffled none the less.
Not sure why Google sent me this video as I've never even heard of the channel. I am into rc planes and maybe that's why. I have to say i thoroughly enjoyed the video and the way the content was explained ect. Expert craftswomanship and a true piece of art when you finished. Thanks for sharing!
I saw your saw blade flex considerably. You should bring your guard/support bearing lower to prevent the flex to get longer life out of your blades and to reduce the hazard to yourself.
I keep my blade guard high because when I turn the prop on its side to cut the corners I need the height. The #1 thing that will get you hurt with the bandsaw is taking your eye off the blade. If I catch the prop on the guide and have to take my eye off the blade to see what happened or to get it unstuck, I’m in trouble. So far this method has worked for 17 years. I understand it isn’t conventional practice, but I am also not doing conventional work.

Thank you! Yes, terminology is always something fun to discuss
@@CulverProps Terminology also changes over time. Go back and look at steam locomotives over the 150 years that they were in use.
Soon i hope you will be making a propeller for my smith miniplane with an A-75 maybe a 72-43 ? I love your work 👍👍👍🌹
Very good video Thanks
Grandpa would be proud.
Thank you!
@@CulverProps you are so welcome. Peace.
Such a talented artist!

What do you like to listen to while you work?
Audio books. Currently Race to Hawaii for the second time

Wonderful work. I can see that this can become habit forming work.
Wonderful to see you posting your craft again!
Amazing talent.
That was excellent. About how much does it weigh? Thank you for sharing.👍
About 4 pounds
It does the soul good to see such beautiful craftswomanship in action. Thanks for posting
Great work!
Have you ever used wood filler? Silly question just for fun.
I have not. 😁
yay a new video! ♥
I like your Dynabrade air sander with vac.
Thanks! It works great!

If it changes it, it is so minor it isn’t an issue
Ok Thank you for that.@@CulverProps
Hi Alaina, could you tell me what kind of wood you use to make the propellers?
Greetings from Lithuania!❤
Absolutely! Maple and mahogany
@@CulverPropsThank you, good luck!

Hello Alaina ,happy to see you back . Enjoy watching your creative talents !
You have awesome freehand bandsaw skills. 👍
I think im going to have to steal that light switch on the bandsaw trick. 😉
That is my Dad’s invention, he’s pretty handy 😁
@@CulverProps Must run in the family! 😄
Love your videos and I’m crazy about the prop you made for my plane.
That looks awesome! Do you sell factory seconds? I'd love a prop to hang in my place, but I don't have the cash to buy a brand new pro just for that. 😊
I do, I post them for sale on my FB and IG page
@@CulverPropsawe shucks, I don't have either. Maybe I'll try to get a friend to keep an eye out for me. Thanks for the videos!
Do these propellers need to be certified according the FAA requirements?
Show 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 parabéns
Wow…. So impressive! Irreplaceable skill.
Ustedes podrían hacer un tripala?
So skillful with the freehand bandsawing and drum sander, very enjoyable to watch!
Thank you!!
Imagine sending this prop back in time with a note to Leonardo da Vinci and telling him he is on the right track. I think he might be baffled none the less.
Yes, I bet he would be, but I think he would love the look of the prop!
@CulverProps He would call it a work of art...that would be the highest compliment !
@@CulverProps Just checking in to make sure all is well. 2024.04.26.
Nice work Alaina I like it.. Go ahead.
Always nice to see your accuracy and hand coordination!! Beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
So, you do static balancing only. Why don't you spin balance the blades like they do with new tires when they mount them?
It’s not necessary. They run they smoothly by this process. The customer can balance them with/on their engine if they decide to.
Gosh it is fun to see you work. Thanks for posting.

Great to see you on TH-cam again.
Thanks for posting.
Another masterpiece!
