Bevels, a popular build thread topic
Hi,
I am in the bulkhead manufacturing phase myself, and likely to be there some time. At least I have made the first two and most of the transom..
I glued the frames to the ply and planed them flush with the ply before making the bevels and believe that it was the easiest way to do it. Remember that a couple of the side arms is not to be glued to the frames before assembly of the boat, so those have to be cut and beveled separately. Measures for the curvy ones (for the back face of bulkhead 2) is the the "drawings" file.
Regarding the bottom bevels, there is a fault in the drawing of frame 1. The bevel should be the other way to follow the curvature of the bottom, so no overhang there. Frame 2 needs 2 mm overhang to get the bevel correct without cutting into the ply making the bulkhead to low.
Hope I made it a bit clearer

Northstar, that's the first I've heard of using a mixer. I would think that's where your bubbles are coming from.
