G'day

I'm pondering the order of operations for assembling a scotch boiler. Copper. Silver solder.

I have seen descriptions of soldering the tube plates to the shell as one operation and then soldering in the tubes as a second.

The alternative is to assemble the tubes into the tube plates then solder that assembly into the shell.

What is the best way?
