Hi Roshan, I did it with the handle attached. I did remove the lid handle as it was only held in by a screw.
Hi everyone, one final update on this one. I went through some experimentation and ended up with something I liked for the handle. I stripped down...
I don't think anyone realized it was sterling. Here's the photos I saw in order (if you didn't click the auction you wouldn't have seen the other...
