'garden variety' maple veneer and plastic resin glue, but I'm wide "open
for better ideas" and especially for ideas on where I might obtain such
material (already made) at very low cost?

Baltic birch is probably the way to go. Comes in 5' x5' sheets in
various thickness up to 1" and is available pretty much all over.

are wooden airplane propellers
made this way?

Yes and no. I've seen laminated and solid propellors and have carved
small ones myself when I did "oily toys" as a kid. The full size ones
are a work of art!

Now you got me thinking! I have been looking for replacement 4 step
pulleys for my old Delta and hadn't thought about turning them. But I
am not too sure plywood would be up to the job.

Does anyone have a source for 4 step pulleys to fit 7/8" shaft?
