| Ogre airscrew take two. The blanks that I first cut were not wide enough to shape the airscrew properly. I had hoped to make two, almost identical, two bladed airscrews, and them joint them into a four bladed unit. Shaping the complex curves on two individual propellers greatly “confuzeled “ my brain. The neurons fired but the synaptic connections repeatedly reversed the thought pattern. Right becoming left, top becoming bottom. This short circuit was magnified by the clockwise airscrew rotation. Up until Ogre all of my Props have been anticlockwise in rotation. I wonder what would happen if I drove my lorry in England? Disaster, I am sure! |

| Slow but sure keeps the brain ad mind clear. (Uncle Carlo could also be of help.) |

| Looking pretty good so far. |

| Thanks we start cutting, again, tomorrow. Blood is not an option. The diameter to keep scale is 12 inches. Now it is 12.5 to allow for shrinkage in shaping. |

| I am full of admiration, because it's fairly difficult task requiring time. |

| This initial shape is very good. |

| Meku, The initial shape is good but it will be the final shape that will matter. Chrystus zmartwychwstał! zdrowe i radosne święto dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny! |

| that's a big prop! |

| Brian, It was big but is currently on dimensional reduction program. When shaping a prop a larger one can be made small but if you start too small, you cannot make it bigger:-) |

| you could make a prop out of putty. |

| Only Gumby has that skill! |

| Yea, realistic prop carving is truly a time consuming art, very confusing too! Mine are usually rounded lengths with a peg on the end. |
