I'm currently building a Don Hill 17Flyfisher.  I have all the frames completed and about ready to cut the notches for the chine logs.  The plans say to notch the frames parallel to the sides and bottom, and to cut a 25deg bevel on the top and bottom of the chine logs.  Since most of the frame angles are different this will result in gaps at the top of some of the chine logs.

How do you guys cut your chine notches?  Do you cut them parallel to the bottom frame and live with the gap, or do you account for the bevel on the chine?
