Gluing ribs onto the neck block

So I've got several ribs in place now....

I notice I've been planing the edges a bit much and maybe not quite forming them as well as I should.  The result is that some of the ribs are not as wide as they should be.  I will either need to make the last two ribs in each side a bit wider, or add one extra rib on each side... 












The forming gets a bit tricky as you move down the sides, there is a twist at each end that if not just right ends up requiring too much planing to get it to fit flush against the previous rib.

















I haven't had the opportunity to cleanup the glue mess from the last two ribs I put on yet...

I'm forming the next two ribs now.  Still need to cut out the last 4 and shape those...getting eager to get on to the next stage of this project...
