Hey Guys,
The more I think about it , My Rib Jig is more of a "tool"

Most Jigs... That's it , one trick pony...

Mine was made by drilling 3/16" holes.... and hammering 3/16" Stainless round stock...

When my ribs were done... instead of making another rib jig...

I tapped the pegs I didn't need , and re positioned the front pegs to form

the smaller "Root Ribs"
.
. Here's some Pictures of the Jig...

. Gotta Fly...

.PS I screwed up one hole... I glued some toothpicks , and pounded them in the hole

re drilled the hole
