Lucky I guess. The router bit really was magical.

Helpful hints with the router bit, be sure to lubricate the bearing. I did not know to do this until i blew the first one out. Jared Yates suggested that I lubricate and have only blown one other out (I did not lubricate it either). The temp generated from the friction is super high.

I'll have to take a picture tonight of the router table that dad has. It's really not table if you ask me.

Wouldn't that be quite time consuming? I would assume you could only do one at a time when a router can do several. What is your current setup? If you can't adapt what you have then a cheap harbor freight router table will get the job done.

I have another question has anyone tried a,rotary tool to cut their wing ribs and did it work? Just wondering. I'm not so sure the apparatus that my dads router is sitting in will work, but time will tell.

Just keep at it, whats the worst that can happen? I had a router incident that damaged my router and some wing ribs and that put me off building for a few months, but now Im back at it and kicking myself for the wasted time.

Im still impressed that you got that many at once. I was doing 4 or 5 and at times worried I was going to lose a hand, and eventually it did grab and launch my router form.

If this doesn't work not sure what to do next.

It's the best I can do. I just am working with very limited stuff this the best I can do unless I start pulling from my flight training money, and I certainly don't want to do that.

Nope, definitely don't want to do that. . Absolutely, you should work with what you have. Just make smart choices so you don't have to rework things very often.

My dads router is a Stihl (I think it's spelt)

I was trying to think how Masonite would come into play in the build process. Looking at the shelving, I put two and two together, and think you're talking about Melamine . Now my brain is in a good place again.

After some practice, I was able to do around ten at a time. I have a big 1/2" shank router, though. Tailor your sheet count to your available router.

How many ribs could you get cut with that half inch router bit Chris?

[MNBenny]

Chris which router bit are you using again? Can you give me a link to lowes? Just want to show dad what you are using so he knows what to get
