The Rib Width

Cutting the C bout corner blocks is done. Now moving on to the ribs. Cutting the edge of the ribs and plaining.

I normally don’t really insist the quality of tools because I believe the final skill relies on the hands. Good tools may assist to have good result, but it’s more important to adapt myself to the tool and control it as if the tool is really my hand.

However, I learned a quality tool really does a good job this time. It was a kind of experiment for me to have Lie-Nielsen No.6 plane although I had a choice to have another less expensive plane with fine reputation. The result is clear. The plane really did a great job.

Thus, the ribs are cut to the width. It will be the thickness.
