Relaying ribs is a lot of work, but mostly prep work. Everything must be spotless and working neatly eliminates a lot of cleanup. I have repaired several ribs, not the best thing to do and relayed one set completely. Do not rush the job. Clean, scrape, prep the metal, all the rust out, make everything as good as you can before tinning and relaying the ribs. A home made jig, to hold the barrels will help since you are doing this for the first time. Cut nails or iron wedges, with soft wire helped hold everything in place. And a good heat source is the key. You do not want a cold solder joint. I got one and had to strip everything off and do it right the second time. There were a couple YouTube videos that showed how to do it. I think ChuckH showed doing this once on this board.
