[CAUT] strange rib damage

If you have a copy of "Note-by-Note", check out 
the fairly brief section in which the bellyman is 
notching the board.  At one point in the process, 
he follows what has been long time procedure in 
lying on the board while notching a portion of 
the bridge...no footprint, but the net effect 
might be pretty much the same, especially if 
there were to be any flaw in either the board or a rib.

Cheers.

Horace
