Mile Post -- Almost

So, you ask, and I am glad you did, what is so special about the subject of this photo?  We have seen endless photos of ribs in the rib jig. 

What makes these two ribs special is that they are the last two "regular" ribs!!  :)  Once these are complete the jig needs to be re-configured to fabricate the two "tip" ribs.  And ribs will be done.

It will be time to schedule the "varnishing" party.  All of the ribs need to be given a coat of high quality spar varnish.  My EAA technical adviser has requested an invitation to the varnishing event.  Coming soon.

This is what the stack of ribs looks like today.
