Curious.

Well... I gradually added pitch along outer half of the blade. This is not a typical racing cleaver, its more like a "Mickey Mouse" fishing motor bronze prop from the 60's but with straight, cupped trailing edges. Blade profile is "twisted" in such a way that pitch was decreasing towards trailing edge and towards the tips. I'll take some photos to make it more clear.

Phill, pinion bearing disintegraded and broke the casing at the end of the video. I think that gears and prop shaft are still salvageable.
