I scarfed the top together, since it is
wider that 4 feet. I ruff cut the curve into the pannel so that enough
was hanging over the edge to screw in some scrap blocks. I used these
to pull down the top to the cabin trunk. Fiting this became quite
a simple project. I marked the rafters and sides with a pencil underneath. |
 |
With the top removed I drilled holes where
I wanted screws. Because the roof will be left bright, I layed the
screw holes in an attractive pattern. The top was placed back
on and glued as it was held as in the above fashion. I made plugs
out of scrap mahogany to fill the screw holes. These were later sanded
smooth. |

A router with an edge trimming bit cuts
a nice edge to the roof. However, since the angle is not 90°
it is not cut as close as desired. |
 |
The edge was the routed with a round-off
bit. I am using a round-off type edge to almost all joints on the
boat. It leaves a nice edge that won't catch things or wear. |

The inside of the cabin looks so nice
I wish I had used okoume plywood through out. The side panels and
the 1/2 ply was regular marine plywood. |
