Thanks, Jim. Getting a construction article published was a real hobby dream of mine.

I will check out the Comedian, too.

I know I said earlier that I enjoy cutting out ribs and I do. But, I thought maybe someone else here might like to build a Wayfarer, too, so I spent a little time drawing a laser cut file for the 36 ribs.

I'm changing the wing construction to suit my style of building. I'll use two 3/8 sq. spars, instead. I'll still sheet from the spars forward, sheet the TE and use cap strips like the plans show. I just don't care for the notched, full-depth spar method. It's hard to get eight full depth spars that are all perfectly straight. With the over-and-under spars you can jig the wing before gluing and make a straight wing much easier (at least I can).

Here's an image of the cut file. I got nine ribs on a 24" x 4" sheet to save on cost. Four sheets will give me all the ribs. If anyone else wants to build one I'll get a quote and we can order the ribs together to save on shipping. I might draw some of the other curved parts if anyone's interested. I'm thinking the plywood cabanes and struts would be nice to have laser cut.
