It will stay that way, what you see is the final situation with the finished (flattened) plate. The ribs have a 1.5 mm slant from the upper corners to the upper block on the top plate side, which is a typical feature of the Cremona school (Stradivari & C.), so this rocking must be there because, among other things, has the purpose of putting some tension on the top plate once the soundbox is closed.
@@DavideSora Thank you for the answer. It makes sense now. I didnt know it has a slant. Now when i imagine soundbox being close maybe the slant also helps the plate edges wobble better around axis created by slant thus project sound better but its my additional assumption.
@@pianodesu It's hard to make these assumptions, but one of the most pragmatic reasons in my opinion is to get a convexity in the top so that it better resists bending caused by string tension, preventing the top from sinking.
G12-020. Keep in mind that Stanley planes need fine-tuning to make them work well, flattening the sole and the points where the blade rests, especially at the mouth, is essential. If you don't want to do these operations (they take several hours and some skill) it is better to turn to other brands that are decidedly more expensive but ready to use, such as Lie Nielsen or Veritas
bel lavoro come si deve!
Is the rib garland at 7:14 supposed to rock like this or was it corrected to fit plate entirely but not recorded on video?

Mr. Sora, I'm wondering if the planer you prefer to use is g12-020 or g12-060. Thanks so much for your videos
