Hey Curt,
It's not my site, but belongs to Jon and Mark, (I think) Also, to check for correct plotting, go ahead and add a scale to the drawings, in both the X and Y. Make them pretty long. Then when you do your test plot, measure the scales and see what % you are off, in each direction and make scaling adjustment to the plotting program and try again.
My plotter only did 36" width, so I did the ol' tape together method. turned out fine.
Also, I have made "Router Templates" and "Forming Blocks" for all ribs so far. The "Router Templates" are made out of some old Hard-Lapboard siding I had laying around. I trimmed the Aluminum fairly close to the final finished line, then made a sandwich of several rib pieces, then used a straight 1/2" laminating bit, and cut them together at one time.
example showing the nose router template, with finished rib blanks in upper right, and rough-cut blanks waiting to be cut, and the sandwich

Good luck,

Thanks Keith. I can't believe I didn't run across your site before. All
kinds of good info there. I think the plotter I have access to will plot up
to 48" wide (and virtually infinite length). I will double check the
measurements before using.
