Hey Pete,,, Those ribs are something eh? Little teeny miter cuts.A friend of mine gave me a tool that he made back in the 40's toset the little brass nails before hammering. It's about five inches longand about an inch wide. It comes to a point at the end and it has a thinpiece of sheet metal on the bottom with a groove to hold the nails. You slipthe nail in, push down and set it on the gusset, and then slip the tool off.What a great idea. With out it the rib process would be turning me into aflaming maniac ( like I'm not there already ).Maybe I'll take a few pics of it and post it on my piet pages at my website.It would be easy enough to make and I'm sure many on this list here wouldbenefitfrom it. I'll try to have that posted by tonight.Carl-----Original Message-----
