<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My approach to rib building is much like Ron
Nossaman's, with the exception that I vacuum-press my ribs. Picture below is of
my two latest and greatest rib cauls. I simply glued up a bunch of
cheap 2x4s into a huge hunk of spruce, drew my curve, cut them on the
bandsaw and touched up the curve with a hand plane.</FONT></DIV>
