Brief Description:  Rib Jig

I was particularly pleased with the way the transfer of the rib layout to the jig board worked out. I used a 18" wide x 78" long piece of white Melamine. I took the long rib drawing from the Pietenpol plans down to an engineering print shop and had them copy it onto an acetate (I think) film. I glued the film image to the melamine with 3M adhesive spray and carefully rolled the acetate onto the board. It worked well. It will make it very easy to mount the jig blocks to the outline of the rib and for the internal webs.

I intend to use the little wood cam locks to lock the pieces of the cap strips and webs down tight.

I made left and right versions of the jig to facilitate glue up of both sides of the rib.

Looking forward to my first glue up.
