If the rafters are not up, put them side by side and make the cuts all at once. They will line up better that way. If you just cut the end cuts with a saw you can then use a chisel to knock out large

Would you happen to have 24-inch centers? I'd use Simpson Strong-Ties truss braces instead of notching and purlins. http://www.strongtie.com/ftp/catalogs/c-hw05-r/C-HW05-R-07.pdf Much simpler, faster
