Received my boiler kettle yesterday, here is the assembly process.

Marking holes at 3' center of the heating element, and 3.5 inches for the whirlpool valuable.

I'm missing a set of metal drill bit, so it took me a while with my titanium step up a bit. but it finally works out.

Punch the holes

I Used the 1'' Knock out punch tool for the heating element and the 1/2 inch for the whirlpool valve. This kit I bought on Amazon for 65$ is so useful, I saved 30$ by making those holes myself and the result is way better than if I ordered it with the holes done by the shop. And I'm not over with this tool, quite happy so far.

Smooth out the holes with a file, and then proceed for the valve assembling.

No a leak test has been performed so far since I'm missing a few pieces to connect the heating element on this kettle. I did fix the leak on the water tank element junctions using the 2 O-rings I did order, I finally find the o-ring recipe for this connection. I should get the parts by tomorrow.

Start to look like something!!!

What's next?

• Heating Element for boiling kettle
• Conceive and build the fan duck
• Conceive and build the power unit
• Get a pump and perform a leak test
• Do a Brew test I guess 😛
