between projects, i tend to carve propellers

some 1" square redwood sticks were on hand from a gardening project. the wood is soft, not quite like balsa from my youth, but approaching.

  1. Hey Adam,
    When you are thru carving pick up the book "99 Jobs" by Joe Cottonwood with all your building projects I think you would enjoy it. Here is a link to Joe's site "Clear Heart Blog" : http://clearheartblog.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

  5. all good. I should perhaps share a bit more of my history in aeromodeling. this is very much a wedge deep into the heart of my formative years. seatbelts are in in order.
