I've got 15 spruce ribs and a spruce panel. Now how do I get the ribs onto the panel in the right spot? The only thing I can think of is to either put a small tack through the rib bottom in the notch area and then lay the panel into its proper position and push down so that the tack that is sticking up through the rib top makes an indent in the bottom of the panel. Or I could drill a very small hole through the panel and through the rib in the notch and locate the rib with a toothpick or a center pin. I think I will need something like that to keep the rib from skating around during glue-up to the panel anyway. How have others done this? Thanks. Terry Farrell
