We made 2 of the 6 thwart cleats. First we found the bevel from the side plank to the bottom of the seat, and set that angle on the bandsaw.
You can see the bevel on the top of the cleat that the thwart will rest on. We rounded the inner top edge of the cleat to encourage water runoff, and also the lower edge just for looks. The cleat was attached with TotalBoat THIXO Flex and screwed from the outside with #10 silicon bronze Frearson head wood screws. We also coated the cleat with the excess Thixo.
Starboard side cleat.
