Just discovered this video on a luthiers forum, pretty amazing! Making HUGE propellers for early wind tunnels, pre-NASA.
Construction of Wooden Propellers - Part 1 - YouTube
Part 1 is stock prep for laminating, nothing special, except a giant jointer
Part 2 has the most amazing glue up I've ever seen, with a synchronized clamping team, like the Olympics!
Part 3 has assembly of the multi blade fans, very cool!
I love these old videos, and often learn something useful, much better than arguing politics!
