I always wondered what rib stitching was. My dad, who was an A&E mechanic (that was before A&P), used to talk about it. There is some serious craftsmanship going on there.

Best video I have watched regarding rib stitching. Very well explained and, a pleasure to watch highly skilled craftsman who have a passion for their work and to save these historic aircraft.

Back in the early days, the bridle between the holes was run along the top of the fabric between the holes with the bridle line on the ribs facing the fuselage. I was told by an old dope and fabric man that the use of a curved tip needle to hide the bridle inside the wing/ tail feathers, was not approved by the old CAA. Nice craftsmanship! I'm getting ready to cover a 1930 F-22.

I'm studying for practicals and this helps so much, thanks!

I really enjoy rib stitching! It is just like basket weaving!

I want you to know that I am using this video in the AMT Airframe Structures class that I teach for an AMT program. It was immensely helpful during the dope & fab.

VERY COOL!!! THanks for sharing-love old timey craft

I enjoy listening to you,thanks for the content

Would be great to come meet and tour your facility one day Such wonderful people

Awesome work.

What a beautiful work!

I really enjoy

Thats cool.

I am building a portion of the wright brothers plane with my grandson as a senior project. Plans came the Smithsonian. Where did you get the needles? Thank you

Very neat video. I think she enjoyed poking that hole a little too much though. :)

2:07 Don't underestimate this beautiful women! ;-)

Was that for the 220 Continental and 225 Lycoming? The 450 P&W stitching is closer, right??

How does one become a fabric technician and do what you do?

My fingers hurt just watching…

Re-watch that knot 20 time's and I'm still confused!

Yes, she needs to slow down when demonstrating how to make the knot.

You can slow it down in the settings, but it's a very complicated knot! I did it about 10 times with Becki coaching me before I got it.
