@ Scott Zee - thanks so much for those beautiful pics. Now I got the original that I could compare mine too.
This project has been long overdue, but finally here is the work in progress. I should be done sometime today and start on my another Spring Green Retro kettle soon.
The handle first.
Cut out the hole for the thermo on the lid.
Underside of the lid.
All mounted.
Trying on my burl SJP Zav wood handle I just got last week for now.
Almost done.
