An Engineer's Approach To Carpentry

As the Gipsy Major is looking so good after a lengthy rebuild, it was decided to display it separately, as to install it in the Tiger Moth would mean it would never be seen again. In order to finish off the engine, a stub or timing propellor would present the engine to best effect. Obtaining a suitable prop did not seem an option due to cost implications.
I was able to obtain a propellor on loan, and made a 3D router copier. This took a lot longer than expected, both designing, building and then producing, with Jon and I working together, but the results are quite pleasing. The next stage is completing a suitable engine stand.
