I have now completed all 26 of the forward ribs, although there's one I may end up redoing at a later time. I have 16 of the aft ribs complete and hope to have all of the aft ribs done in the next few days.
I am going to build another bench this Saturday. I have 2 workbenches. One 8 feet long and one 9.5 feet long. The 8 feet one always has the plans open on it so I only realistically have the 9.5 bench to work on.
The new bench will be 8 feet long and on it I plan to essentially line up my drill press, bandsaw, bench grinder and soon to be be purchased belt sander.
I plan on posting pictures when I get the bench built.
