Brief Description: Short ribs, tip ribs and stiffener angles
Huge session in the workshop today.
I built the 2 short ribs (behind fuel tank, then rough cut the form block for the tip ribs. DIdn't want to commit to building the tip ribs until I established I was doing the right thing, so while I wait for responses to my questions I started on the attach angles.
I created a lot of useless ribs in the early stages, so there is a lot of scrap. It is VERY time consuming to rescue these, but too much to waste. So I have been using the router along the table edge to cut attach angles and rib attach angles. My brain is a bit fried, so haven't done a final tally for the day.
Although I made good progress, there i s a lot more angles to cut. Then bend, drill and debur. This isn't the most fun part so far!

My tally sheet. Too many incomplete for my liking!
