Instructions

Step 1:

Start by removing the handles from the stock pots.

Step 2:

Cut a hole in the bottom of the larger pot that’s slightly smaller than the opening of the smaller pot. You can trace a circle on a paper and use it as a guide. Cut using a jigsaw cutter. Clean the edge using a file.

Step 3:

Make some marks on the smaller pot, 2 inches from the bottom, then make some holes on the marks that are equally spaced. Use a carbide hole saw to drill into the stainless. You want to do it slowly but with a lot of pressure so it will cut the chips out rather than burning a hole.

Step 4:

Bend the smaller side of the U-shape of the bracket down to make it flat.

Step 5:

Place the 1/2″ wood scraps on the inside of the large pot with the hole on the bottom. Then place the smaller pot inside right side down. This will tell you the depth that you need. Place the three bracket between the two pots and mark the holes. Cut the holes.

Step 6:

Attach the brackets onto the small pot using nuts, bolts, and washers.

Step 7:

Mark the holes on the outside pot and drill them.

Step 8:

Insert the pipes on the brackets. Place the smaller pot in the bigger pot and use screws to attach the brackets in place. Make sure the pipes are in the same sizes.
