Two soundboards at once (concurrently), or two soundboards in a row (one after the other)? If at the same time, you must have at least four or six pneumatic presses - and the presses must have interchangeable cauls? Yes? I usually reserve a full day to rib a board - not that it takes that long of course. I find that I do lots of other unrelated tasks while glue dries, etc. I guess I value the luxury of having the time to take a deep breath and concentrate on what I am doing - maybe I'm just paranoid of screwing something up. How many times did you check to be sure that the right rib #1, etc. was being glued to the correct panel???? This sounds great. Congrats. I'm just trying to picture it. I'm afraid of what mistakes I would make if I tried it! ;-) Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- > Yesterday, I had what for me was a unique experience. I ribbed two > soundboards at once.
