How Sensenich Wooden Props Are Made

- Composite props may be the latest shiny object to make airplanes go, but most of them have wood cores, and the basic wooden prop is enjoying somewhat of a resurgence. AVweb's Paul Bertorelli took a tour of Sensenich's prop factory in Plant City, Florida to see how these products are made.

Wood working is always a popular topic. Add Aviation to the mix and you have VERY interesting content for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Culver Props also has a series of good videos on how they make their props by hand. She is an artist.
I bought mine about 7 years ago. Having it reworked now. Great prop.10 Thumbs up
What a process , thanks for uploading
Awesome work you guys !
I love this...real craftsmanship
Great video, thanks. Very informative.
Beautiful to see modern machinery making a product that is essentially 100 years old tech.
Wow, excellent video.
Wish they showed us how the metal leading edge is applied. Always intrigued me.
I like Culver Props. Family owned and ran.
I need a new prop for my 1946 Piper J-3 Cub. 👍🏼 Great video!
A really nice video. Now please produce one that includes the installation of the metal leading edge.
Crazy. I can't believe this was done lacking modern machinery for high performance war birds 75 years ago!
As you can see from the video, all the modern machinery does is replace a lot of elbow grease removing waste. The real precision woodwork still has to be done with human hands.
CAM all the way from raw stock to finished product works quite well for relatively homogeneous materials like metals, but a good process hasn't been developed for wood yet.
I remember back in the old days flying into Lancaster airport with a prop between the seats.
Culver propeller blonds are more pretty to look at .
Nice !
Wooden prop-construction has come a long way!
Thanks to the development of CNC (computerized numerical control) technology, modern propellers can be manufactured with accuracy and speed.
That may be, but the ones that are hand made don't fall out of the sky either. So I guess they must be darn good?
Maa syaa Allaah....bagus banget ini mr...sy di batam Indonesia..sangat suka konten ini tenks
Good info.
I have one of theirs from before WWII on my LR wall and a cutting board almost 40 years old in my kitchen
I have a vintage wooden propeller for a Curtiss H-16 Flying Boat. It's 9 feet, 6 inches long and mahogany. I'd love to know how they were made before CNC machines.
Has no idea you guys were just up the road from me in Plant City.
I want to buy this!!
muy bien encantado saludos
Great info and insight.... too bad you guys didnt keep the original paint scheme on your '38 Cub
what are the differences of pitch in the props
Nicely done tour of the prop manufacturing process. I even learned I have been pronouncing the name of the company incorrectly for 35 years. Sorry about that Sensenich. ROG
I too have learned I’ve been mispronouncing their name for decades!
Me too!
That cub looks like it's had too much of Columbia's finest.
I made my own Prop on a CNC where I work, It was for a Hover craft.. CNC is the only way to go..
i want buy pleas help me /wear are avilable this propeller?
How to the minimum prise one piece ?
Finally I now know its pronounced sen-sin-ick not sen-sin-itch. Feel like I should of been corrected sooner.
I heard sens-sa-nick. Paul starts with a sort-of Palatine German pronunciation.
It's still sen-sin-ick in Lancaster (if you know how to pronounce Lancaster).

how much does a prop cost
Iwant to buy 2 how much??
Yes,.. Go see Culver Props.
Hand made,... by a cute girl :)))
Was just there today for the first time. Respect to her for what she acheives. PS- The girl is a married mother of two (;-))
Culver propellers all by hand by a beautiful girl not a soul less cnc lol
considering that hand finishing is required to remove tool marks CNC is some what faster but not necessarily better . Culver props is a viable business with a much lower overhead using a simple duplicating machine and hand finishing with a sander
Because copy milled propellors have so much soul...
Seriously, people have been copy milling propellors since the first world war. Whats the difference really.
@@slome815 a small owner operated business will always have more soul than that of a big business. Also you fail to realize that her grandfather carved the blanks that she uses.
Are these props not balanced?
lol, yes they’re balanced. Did you miss the part where they said they have to go over them with spokeshaves and sanding by hand to balance them?
They didn't show how the metal leading edge goes on. Go back and do it over.
Which wood is used to make propeller?
Birsch
Morning wood
Delivery contact
how much is the price range of these prop?
800-1100
USD
I need propeller how I get I'm from Bangladesh I want make mini trike
Security markings in front are surely too expensive. Just skip them. Ain't never anybody walked into a running prop ...
Gee Whiz, you'd think that a guy who works at the shop would know how to pronounce the name of his company!
I want to buy a fan how can I communicate with you
mostly made by computers now
คือเรื่องนี้ผมเคยพูดไว้นานแล้วคือผมอยากได้แบบเครื่องบินง่ายๆสักแบบนึงคือการเรียนในมหาวิทยาลัยเกี่ยวกับการบินก็ควรจะสร้างขึ้นบินให้ได้ผมคิดว่าอย่างเรากัมพูชาพม่าก็น่าจะทำได้ผมดูวัสดุเครื่องบินหลายแบบมีหาได้ง่ายสั่งทำยังได้แต่องค์ความรู้อาจจะมีไม่มากพอ
:)
Thousands of lifetime projects with woodglut plans.

Hello sir please help me
Started with a Pfaelzisch like pronunciation.
I thought resorcinol glue was banned back in the 1980’s because of carcinogen concerns. Perhaps it has been reformulated.
No, same old stuff. Never banned. Older formulations could use formaldehyde as a catalyst but safer options are used now.
Used to work at a plant in Tacoma, WA in the mid 80's. We made resorcinol adhesives for the laminated beam industry, 15,000 pound batches at a time.
Hello sir hello sar one blood
It's simple, Just go to WoodPrix page - and enter the Eco World.
pity trees
laxwork Yeah, Canada is running out of Birch trees. Take your clueless nonsense elsewhere.
I like a Rhino Horn Prop, with Whale skin covers.... :)
May I suggest a surprise inspection on the green card holders or lack thereof?
Louis Cypher You think Sensenich hires illegals, just because some of the workers are Hispanic?
Louis cypher--- May I suggest you get the fuck out of my country... we don't tolerate hypocritical, racist pieces of shit like you.
What's wrong with you? Why do you want to make trouble?
BigDog Fuck off yes we do.... Illegal? GTFO!
Bless your heard
Looks like someone needs to call immigration on these guys. Are there any props still being made by americans?
