bevel side cleats for deck

the cleats that run along sides of the hull for the deck support need to be beveled. I don't see any mention of how in the manual, I plan on measuring the angle and using the table saw. Does anyone have a better way, or see any reason why that's a bad idea? thanks

page 164.
"here are the sheerclamps, bulkheads, and Dorade boxes
planed to match the curves of the cabin top. "
Don't think a table saw could follow the curves to well.
Nice idea though

that's not the cleat i'm referring to. I am talking about the cleats under the cockpit deck.

Opps, your right the "deck" stringers do need a bevel . I think the table saw can be used I think if you use the angles from the full sized bulkheads and if they carry true then you've saved a lot of time planing.

It's a long ways back in my construction but I don't really remember worrying about a bevel on the side hull/ cockpit cleats, the sides of the hull are fairly vertical at that point... of course I could have just forgot doing them. I do know the cleat on the transom definitely needs a bevel because of the angle of the transom.
