Has anyone else thought about carving their own prop?Orrin Hoopman has plans available for one that wouldfit the Ford Model A. We don't have the plans yet, butit seems like a neat idea, saving $600 (or so) carvingyour own and having an original Piet artifact. Of course a prop duplicator carving machine would have to be made as well as a pattern too. Another chance to use the hand held router arises.RodgerPiet in progress ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Hand Carved Props for the PietI'm carving my prop, to the Orin Hooperman plans. My first attempt was for practice, and will have a clock in it. N E S W instead of 12 3 6 9. It's not all that difficult, just time consumeing, if ya have the plans, as well as the book 'Propeller Making for the Amateur', by Eric Clutton. Its a small paperback, with only about 55 pages. It's available from the EAA. I'm planning on eventually carving a True Scimitar Prop, which is also called out in the book.ChuckWing mounted, assembleing the Model A________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 04 Jun 2000 22:13:08 -0700
