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.
