  • Thanks for not putting any obnoxious music over the machining parts, or skipping needlessly through the process. It was pure bliss of industrial ASMR
  • @jasonm3040
    His rough cut is better than my finish cut would be
  • @weiniesail
    This is the best How is it Made episode yet!
  • My two boys worked there when they were in high school. I have a Sensenich prop hanging on the wall in my den. Raised my family and got my pilot’s license in Plant City. Haven’t been there in 20 years. My boys actually made some of the wooden propeller props for the movie Pearl Harbor.
  • Each propeller they make like that is a work of art. The craftsmanship is off the scale. I only hope that new craftsmen are being trained and that it doesn't become a lost art.
  • @ChiliStyles
    Each wooden propeller is a true work of art.
  • @mmgtl
    Watching that guy install the brass leading edge was the icing on the cake, simply amazing
  • @jameslonano5659
    Wow, what a combination of modern manufacturing CNC with real deal old world craftsmanship. Outstanding content!
  • @gsguy9359
    Jimmy, you are giving your son an education the way it should be done. He is going to be so knowledgeable and what you’re giving him money can’t buy. God bless you and keep doing what you’re doing. P.S. thanks for the great video. I always love seeing how things are made!
  • @chriscook8076
    That’s some of the coolest things I’ve ever watched. Most people have no idea the craftsmanship that still goes into some things these days. Thanks for sharing that!
  • @davidcole333
    It's awesome to see craftsmen pour their love into the product. It doesn't get any better than that.
  • @timowens9188
    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!
  • @danimal0921
    Thanks for letting us see this process! Honest to goodness, I have wondered for years how new props are made! I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined this process! WOWZERS, that is AMAZING!!!
  • So cool! I love that they go from a hundred year old machine to a modern cnc. Such a cool mix of technology and skill.
  • @dougblalock5175
    That was absolutely awesome. Having been a machinist and a pattern maker in my past life I can appreciate the talent in both the equipment design and the operator’s skill. The finishing is as much an art as a skill. Beautiful!

    Woodworking, metalworking, finishing - it all comes together.
