Brief Description:  Finished left nose ribs

While I could have knocked out all 14 nose ribs tonight, I took a break in the early evening to spend some extra time with family. I have to admit that I've been pretty focused on getting past all the "curvy" parts of the airplane that require forms. This is more or less the home stretch for that. With the time remaining, I started by remaking the one left over rib from my old forms. While it appeared to be virtually identical to the others I was making on the new and improved form blocks, I just didn't want to take a chance. In around 30 minutes I was ready to form the six remaining nose ribs for the left wing. Things went very smoothly, and at this rate I have just 2 hours of work remaining to complete all wing ribs for both wings.
