Cabin top
After spending a month touring Namibia by 4x4, I was back building Jahazi. Next the cabin top had to be done. Before laminating the cabin top, the cabin top beams must be fitted. These were already done in 2017, so I could start straight-away. The cabin top is of 12 mm ply and because of the curvature of the roof must be laminated from 2 layers of 6 mm ply. The easiest way of doing this is by using 500 mm ply strips across the width. When working alone these are more manageable than larger pieces.
