Why does this look like some sequence where the hero finally convinced some legendary craftsman to make them one final legendary item for the great battle or conflict?
My old man did this for almost 45 years. Some people do not understand the attention to detail that is necessary to do this art work. I would sit there for hours watching my dad work from stainless props to nibral, slamming metal on metal buffing compound all in his eyes looking like a raccoon. Amazing work brotha
This is another one of those skills that I have to give props because this is not something anybody can do. It is a true art form by a master of his craft.
I always wondered how they repaired my dad's prop. It hit an under water island in Shasta lake in the summer when the water was low. The hit chipped off a good amount of one the the blades. Luckily this was only on a 14 ft fully loaded Klamath aluminum boat, my dad let me use. I got it fixed ASAP for $50, and never told him until after he got rid of the boat🤷
Why? They just need to be balanced and with as few defects as possible. Like any machine that spins a blade fast. The high speed will result in vibration, breaking, or worse if it's not balanced and true. That's why they go the extra mile and make sure everything is just right.
Outstanding to see a skilled craftsmen do his work. He or the individuals who own that shop are committed to preserving Thier trade. They have to know how to weld and build up bronze the jig he is shaping on is marked for the diameter and pitch of that prop etc. That shop probably has a number of jigs for different props. Outstanding video my compliments to the men who practice this skill. Better then all the people who think everything is on a computer and is done somewhere else
Cool, I designed some tools at the start of last year for really big screws. They where centered around a 100t and a 50t hydraulic press system. Basically really big and heavy C-clamps with a neutral to the center of mass rotation point.
We would get soooo many props and I believe skegs? (Cast part of the boat engine) and we would build the lip and grind reform and lay anymore if needed then we would braze the skegs together. Living in Michigan boats was a huge thing for us. Pontoon logs included! We got a pontoon (considered a barge) built on Lake panima Fenton Michigan. 48 foot by 12 1/4 all aluminum double decker boat. Yeah let’s say this thing was built inside then pulled outside on a angle with two forklifts. Thanks for letting me share some of my aluminum welding experience
I haven't seen pitch blocks used in a long time for propeller repair. We sold ours a few years ago because we didn't need them. I will say that's some solid welding. Didn't see any pitting on it. That's rare for most shops. We also polish ours to mirror finish and double check balance.
I Made Surface Drive Propellers For Years By Hand The Biggest Was a 48 inch Prop For a Combat Boat in Indonesia…. Man it Was Hard Work But Satisfying especially When My Custom Touches Adjusting the Pitch Diameter and Weight Balance I Could Increase Boats Too Speeds Made Me Very Proud Lol Customers We’re Happy As They Started Catching the Pirates A lot Easier lol
Very nice work indeed. The boating community absolutely loves prop rebuilders as it’s incredibly cost effective to refurbish as opposed to replace a prop.
Easy when you have a blade form to beat it out on...tig is good...THE best filler I found for welding repair was...believe it or not...used zildjian cymbals
I love the way you made the snare your hammer bro genius. I've watched this 20 times now. not particularly proud I have wasted this much time, but its so satisfying to watch
Nice work.....does this make the edges stronger or the same strength as the surrounding metal? Wondering if the heat tempers it more than the rest or not.
I think that it makes the edges stronger than when they were damaged, but I think after every repair the entire propeller gets weaker. I think he told me you could have a propeller repaired 3 or 4 times before it starts to get a bit brittle
I work for Mercury Marine and we make propellers there and the attention to detail is ridiculous this man has to charge up the ass to do it by hand because that’s a lot of talent no bullshit❤
Awesome work really nice 👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼 cup work I prefer the cup with a round ear myself and blow the cup I keep it meaty and put a knife edge on my back side for where and how I run my boat!! I worked at Go Devil and have worked thousands of props. And all deferent kinds and people can ask for some cray shit they will not do anything custom at GoDevil so people would ask me to do deferent things and I did them on the side. I work all my own props for my Go Devil and surface drive also all my buddy’s for them and a few mud boats one with a 454 big block and one with a 350 big block then another guy has a 6 cylinder and a twin diesel turbo and they all work the hell out them boats and play even harder
Life skills that nobody can take from you is worth the effort in learning and the most valuable part of it is being able to make a living from it and a making a difference in others people’s lives as well
I’m glad Dak Prescott is able to find work. Such a longggggg offseason for him each year. He handles this propeller better than a football, thank god got the boat this goes on
Great work! I don't know much about boats but I heard a theory that impellers are better. Make one of those and try it for the views. Use underwater camera while in use also.
this hammering to the beat is just perfekt a joy to watch!
Lolol
@@jboneill this was perfect just , perfect
❤️❤️❤️
Yeah that was sick. Came for the prop, stayed for the beat.
thanks broo

😂
Because you watched Thor
@@its_jjk actually, I never have, still haven’t watched a single Thor movie in all honesty.
lol so funny
If you saw the price tag to replace one of those props, you'd understand. Lolol.. that's about a $10,000 prop..
My old man did this for almost 45 years. Some people do not understand the attention to detail that is necessary to do this art work.

So good at his job
Bruh it’s not hard when u have a whole mold to shape it into place
Your dad prolly did it old school so prolly harder than this bs
Not hard when you have a mold
i mean i dont think its the easiest thing
It’s crazy the smallest imperfections on props can cause crazy vibrations, this man is talented
so good at his job
**This man is gangster😂😂
indeed
Bruh it ain’t hard he already has the mold pretty hard to fux something up when u have everything to bend in shape with a bended mold
Would be fascinating to watch him balance it
Please whomever is in charge keep putting these types of videos in my recommendations etc. Could watch all day! 😎
Deal!
@@jboneill If I could do that for my little group of friends I'd be a hero! 😎
I bet you also enjoy a good fart in the bathtub as well.
❤️
🤧🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🥵😠😡🇮🇴💋👣👣🏞️🏞️🏞️🌪️🐱🐯🦁🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🇦🇶🇦🇴🇦🇮♎♎
Damn the hammering in the beat is sick.
So dope
@@jboneill honestly you killed it!! Awesome job keep it up 👍🏻
thanks, i honestly think my friend gabe killed it more fixing my propeller
My first welding job in 1975 was rebuilding boat propellers at the Oakland Park Marina in Ft Lauderdale. Good work!
Oh dopeeee
Nice work bro.. obvious you take pride. I raised my two boys to view their work as a reflection of who they are as men.
What a joy to watch the master at work.
He’s dopeeeee
Just goes to show that even boats have to deal with cavities
Trueee
whoever slid in the song with the hammer noise deserves an Oscar
Thanks!!!
This is another one of those skills that I have to give props because this is not something anybody can do. It is a true art form by a master of his craft.
So talented
As much as this looks like something I could learn to do, you couldn't pay me enough to put up with boat owners.
Hahahaha trueeee
😂😂

pretty crazy how they do it
Shasta lake can be killer on props when the water gets low. those shallow bits stick out so far from the shore sometimes
i bet dude!
This has to be the highest quality production of a propelor repair ever made.
Does this count as art?
😂😂😂

Dude I’ve worked on all kinds of props and the small ones are a pain in the ass
I bet!
Cool, I designed some tools at the start of last year for really big screws. They where centered around a 100t and a 50t hydraulic press system. Basically really big and heavy C-clamps with a neutral to the center of mass rotation point.
oh very cool!
Seriously it is
Props to everyone who helped make this. Homies skills are on point!
He kills it
Everybody’s a gangster, until the propeller breaks.
Lolol
why would this navy metal mix prop break
That's some good old fashion elbow work
100%
That is one brave man wearing a flannel shirt using a wire wheel
😂
Talk about plucking out tiny needles all night

gnarly dude!
yo what happened to the prop did A log float up in the lake or something?
The propeller causes cavitation in the water which collapse with enough pressure to damage the propeller material
@@PlaidHiker oh dang i gotta get my grandpa to check his prop now
There was a mound of rocks under water at the boat ramp
@@jboneill oof that sucks atleast you got some content out of it lol
yeah haha that just happens to be going viral 😂😂😂
Nailed it Perfect whit the music!!! 😊 Good job!
Thanks! Gabe is super talented
Perfect timing with the music. Work looks great. 👍

Hahaha thanks dawg!!!!
"Fuckin beautiful ay?! Love the "goodfellas" sample!! And beautiful work!
❤️❤️❤️

No way that’s badass
I used to do this for a company called Big Rock Propellers. Some of my best times was beating these wheels into shape. Pretty work
i think its pretty dope!!
I’d love to learn a skill like this. It’s too cool man, keep working and god bless!
He’s killing it
Life skills that nobody can take from you is worth the effort in learning and the most valuable part of it is being able to make a living from it and a making a difference in others people’s lives as well
❤️❤️❤️
That hammering and music sync is so freaking coool
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I worked with propellers for a few years.. they weighed over 10 tons each... Boilermaker
I use to change out props on boats, always loved picking them up after a repair, y'all do some real magic.
He’s super good at it
Why do People Say " it's Not Hard he has a Mould", it literally takes so Much Skills and Patience, Good Job Bro :)
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Tha man has got skills!! Great work fella!! 💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸
I don't care about boats or propellers but you did a bang up job on this video. This is a like well earned.
Thanks broo
Most satisfying video I ever watched,, and does t even have the word in the title 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥
This looks like a really satisfying machining job
He’s good!
This is actually pretty cool
So sick
Editing is on point, entertaining !
Thank you!
This is an awesome skill set. Respect my dude.
He’s mega talented
The edit with the music was perfect, this was very well made
Thanks homie!!
This really isn't bad compared to a lot of the props I've seen it's amazing how bad cavitation can ruin a prop
Yeah I barely damaged it
@@jboneill been working in the Marine industry for about 20 years some of the props I've seen you'd wonder how they still even work
yo mad props for fixin that prop
Gabe kills it at his job
I’m glad Dak Prescott is able to find work. Such a longggggg offseason for him each year. He handles this propeller better than a football, thank god got the boat this goes on
😂😂😂😂
Mad respect. Just watch that long shirt flapping around that bench buffer. It grabs that shirt and either rips it off you or through you.
Trueee
Beautiful work, man!
Thanks! Gabe is talented working with propellers
Awsome. I think it is important to celebrate craftsmen and tradesmen. We make the world go round.
100%
A very skilled artist. Nice!
❤️
"Always wanted to be a gangster"

Awesome edit man!
Glad you liked it!
Damn that hammer and song line up is on point!!!
Haha pretty cool!
Good editing. That's gotta be a satisfying job
Thanks! Yeah he’s super good at what he does
You just made the idea of becoming a “boat propeller repairman” the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in ten seconds flat.
Hahahaha thanks broooo
Loved the scarfing.
Great work! I don't know much about boats but I heard a theory that impellers are better.
Make one of those and try it for the views. Use underwater camera while in use also.
Thanks for the idea!
hey man You and Rambo are kindred spirits..well as far as the propeller making goes.
😂😂😂
Reminds me of my uncle Duane's D & J Propeller shop in Fontana California working there as a teenager.
yuhhh
A my man what u just did was gangster keep pushing
John Manca's recount from Good Fellas !
All time greatest!!
That start of the song was🔥
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Do you balance them? skilled guy 👍
yeah he does :)
wow this is how its done, this is pretty cool!
pretty wild
Cool so white collar that fuckin impressive bro and way safer than the streets
😂
