��I've done it both ways and found it a bit hard to cut baulkheads after filleting them. I have a small circular saw (3 1/2 inch) using a guide stick to keep the saw level. I tried to cut them free hand and regretted it. I now cut them before installing them....be sure to only cut off the width of the inhales (of course you already knew this)

���Whoops. ...Be sure to cut off the inwales... not inhales or you will pass out

   I cut them off after the outwhales were on. I used a router freehand. It worked well. I was a bit worried about cutting into the plywood but slow and steady worked well.

Thanks, that was my thought to cut them before I stitch it all together.

Larry,

Great decision. The spacered inwales add dramatically to the strength of a boat.

Happy Thanksgiving,
