I hadn’t stitched the bulkhead when I took the first picture. Now that I have, the legs look even, but I’m still crossing my fingers. An eighth of an inch isn’t much room for error.

Bulkhead stitched

The fillets would have covered any gap, but I made the notches large enough for the tape with a rasp and sanding block, and the bulkhead hugs the shell nicely. The rasp chewed up the edge of the plywood a little, but the fillet will cover that too. If had needed a cleaner cut, I’d have used the sanding block with coarse paper exclusively.
