Casting a Massive Ships Gigantic Propeller at 1,800°F

Sometimes, you just have to look at some of the objects in the world around you and wonder exactly how they were crafted. For example, how does a massive ship propeller come together when it’s so incredibly huge? The process has to be something interesting and very complex.

This time, we take a look inside of the multi-step process that needs to happen in order for such a giant propeller to take form and come to life. With a combination of some precise processes alongside 1800° of heat, the propeller starts to resemble something that’s recognizable.

Check out the video below that will take you through the down and dirty that brings this enormous component to life. At the end of the day, it might seem like this is a rather complicated process that requires a lot of heavy lifting, but it’s only one of the components required to put together the pieces of a puzzle that gets a ship in motion.
