How a Propeller pattern is made
G'day everyone
I'm from Vancouver Canada
I work as a pattern-maker, we actually have a couple of respected Aussie pattern-makers in our local industry.
I was trained by my dad, and now my brother and I run the shop.
We are one of the few shops that still concentrate on handwork we have CNC and computers, but that's usually only used for multiples or production volume.
We have a lot of experience with marine pattern work (props and struts)....if I may (Admin let me know if I'm braking rules) we have a really cool explanation of how a prop pattern is made, everyone who sees it thinks it's neat.
How a Marine Propeller Pattern Is Made
Its a process that needs alot of hand work, not only the prop, but the struts need to be custom fit to the hull.
any way, we kind of pride ourselves, on being a shop that can do anything.
I have some experience in carving, cabinet making and furniture making.
I'd love some questions.
If anyone would like to see more pictures of foundry patterns let me know.

Hi Canado,
It is a hugely informative page. Well done! I put one of the pics up so people could get a little idea of the process. But the page itself has lots more pics.
