Rib Fluting-Table Top Method

[blueflyer]

I was having trouble getting myself motivated to flute my wing ribs. I had it in my head it would take me several hours of fluting. I came across this EAA webinar called Rib Fluting Table Top Method http://www.eaavideo.org/video.aspx?v=1786897202001

I went out to the workshop and knocked out one side of wing ribs in about 20 minutes. That webinar makes fluting a no brainer.

My method was similar, only I found it easier on my back and neck to use the edge of the table rather than the top:

Miles,
Your table looks like mine with a few extra custom holes in the top.

Miles, I like that. I did find it a bit awkward to bend down to get eye level and flute. I'll use your method on the other set of ribs. Thanks.

That fluting picture is on my "good" bench. The one where I do most of my work has too rough an edge for a fluting reference:
