More on the Bulkheads

Tonight I cut out the bulkheads all except the horizontal (there's no measurements on the plans - waiting on Clint to give them to me) and two of the doublers.


 Right now I have a lot going on: finishing up the inner stem, daggerboard, trunk, bulkheads. A few more pieces and I think I'll be ready to set up the molds!

One issue I need to think about: I used the jigsaw on the inside curve of the doublers and there was quite a bit of "tearout". It won't be too bad on the doublers, but when I get to some of the more obvious and visible pieces I need to keep that to a minimum. 

I also have a hard time seeing where the blade is cutting on the jigsaw. I can't afford to make any big mistakes.
