Root Ribs-Joe's jig

Joe's jig

The root rib needs 3/8 inch reinforcement on the edges where the main spar passes through.  Joe needed to cut some thick wood down to 3/8 inch, so he made this jig for the band saw.  It uses three parts, a straight board, and two clamps.  Not elegant, but it does the job rather well.

John and his new toy

I couldn't resist.  John was so engrossed in his new toy that he never noticed me taking this picture.  John found not one, but two used jig saws at a garage sale.  Both are in good condition.  We have one already, so why buy to more?

John, "I am going to decide which one is the best, then sell the other two.  That will give us a better tool, and will also help provide some more money for the glider project."
