Default RE: Cutting ribs

Things are going well. I have made a template of the main ribs. I need a total of 12. I tried cutting with a knife but did not like results so I tried a batch of 6 cutting them on my scroll saw. They were easy cut and then sanded on my disc sander. I do have all the toys/tools. They were all most ok but I overcut the tail edge a bit. So I will try another batch it is really very fast with the scoll saw. I need more pratise cutting the notches. I then use a tiny file to file the notch to fit. I also need some other type of pin because the pin head on these t pins gets in the way of cutting the ribs.
