Ernest,

Do you have any pictures of this prop carving process?  That sounds interesting.

So Ernest...when are going to start working on a two speed blower like the big Pratt's from WWII used????  :)

Got 10hrs of prop carving done today, including building a jig to ensure both blades are the same.
