One day a pilot, the next a propeller maker. Today I am running the CNC machine, making propellers for Groppo Trails! Quite good fun really.

More brass work, some WW1 propeller design, and machining for a Chilton Monoplane happening here today. Gotta love varied tasks!

Some interesting WW1 work going on here at the moment, one Sopwith Pup propeller being finished and a Bristol Fighter one being started!

[Lauren Wilson 💜 @LaurenAirshows]

Tools you never thought a propeller maker needed, part 1: the blowtorch. Used to anneal the brass for leading edges.

We have a custom made decorative Tiger Moth prop up for a song on eBay. Take a look, grab a piece of history here: http://t.co/UBsny3Rqzl

@g0bhx @HerculesProps yup. We use computer modelling and CNC machining, followed by personal hand craft with every single propeller we make

[Lauren Wilson 💜 @LaurenAirshows]

From flat sheet to formed leading edge. All done using hands & plenishing hammer. Very careful work! @HerculesProps
