Thats how Unlimited props are made too. The forging is about 150 pounds when it goes in the machine. A few days later its ready for about 10 to 15 hours of finish work!

Pictures of Ollhoff's work being done? No.

There are pictures of his finished work at antique meets, sitting on sawhorses ... he's a motor guy not a boat guy, so that is about as far as I expect him to go with the project.
