Home Cabin Rafters Fore hatchPrevious | NextRoof
10 / 17 / 99 The rafters are laminated out of 2 4/4 pieces of mahogany.  I plan to build all the 2" pieces for the boat in the same manner.  This allows the rafters to be close to 2" instead of 1 1/2".  (A little added strength)
11 / 05 / 99 The support blocks for the rafters were laminated together and glued in place.  The rafters and gussets were added. The stringers were shaped and glued in high enough to allow planing into the shape of the roof curve to allow for a good gluing surface.
11 / 05 / 99 The exposed surface of the rafters gussets and stringers were epoxied.
