The New Nose Ribs

As stated previously, I rebuilt the ribs because my first attempt wasn't very good. Here are some pictures of the work on the nose ribs. They turned out MUCH better than the first set.

A nose rib in progress in a jig for cutting out the notches for the aluminum angle. The aluminum
angle runs span-wise across the wing to support the thin, aluminum leading edge sheeting.

Cutting a notch on the table saw using a dado head.

Using scrap wood cut to 6 degrees on the table saw to tilt the jig 6 degrees to get a
6-degree angle on the notch on the leading edge of the nose rib for a piece of spruce
that will run span-wise across the wings. The upper wings have a 6-degree sweep.

All the notches cut. I'll cut out the inside material next with a router
using the template as a guide.

The completed nose ribs. Much better than my first attempt!

There won't be any additional posts about building the ribs. The process was largely the same as initially, with a few exceptions. Check out my YouTube channel to see lots of details about the (re)building of the ribs.
