For my thicknesses I resawed on the bandsaw, then I tried both the "Luthier's Friend" sanding device and the Wagner Saf-T-Planer - both on the drill press. The final thickness probably should be with a cabinet scraper -
one way to use a planner to thickness the ribs is, to plane a good face on the rib blank. then tape(double sided tape)this good side down to a piece of ply wood, mdf,so that you have a thicker piece of wood, it's planing 2mm thick bits of wood that the planer won't do.. then plane that till it is nearer the thickness you want
and finish with a scraper.. bob -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
