I have a big pig roast every year and this year we're expecting a large showing from my brew club. I'm now racking my brain trying to come up with a decent idea for a jockey box.
It doesn't have to be really functional... ideally, just something I can put a little ice in. I'm pretty confident we'll have all of the kegs chilled now problem. I just need something that will mostly just hold the handles.
I could just be normal and make it out of a cooler but where"s the fun in that? i was thinking a toilet and put the tap handles coming out the back fo the water tank but 1) it's not something I think people will really want to drink beer "out of" and 2) I don't know how you would run the lines into it without drilling a ton through porciline... which... I'm not in ahurry to do.
Just curious if anyone has seen anything kind of funny that was used as a jocket box so I might be able to steal the idea.
Oh.. lastly... I'll probably run six handles through it.

On the toilet one... If you were careful I could see you getting the lines through the same way the water comes down... And couldn't you put the tap where the handle goes? Two taps, left handed and right handed...
That way no drilling but it limits you to two taps...

MAN I HOPE SOMEONE SMARTER THAN ME SEES THIS THREAD.
This predicament holds endless possibilities. if you were reallllllly carefull, you could get one of those hollow porcelain sculptures from Wal Mart for like $20, just randomly poke a hole in it and put a tap handle in the hole.

Oh the possibilities, I like the toilet Ideal, but you could just rig a fake front to it with the six taps, and flush arm in the front or top, and the lines etc hidden in the back.. Then put a label like "Please do not recycle here".
If they don't have a sense of humour, then put the taps under a packed gun rack with a large bucket with "Self served - Tips required" on it.
Dude, if you're not asking them to dip their glasses into the toilet's bowl, they shouldn't bitch. In other words, I don't like the toilet idea. I love it!
I also love the watermelon idea. Simple, simple, simple.
I'll think on it today; if I have any ideas, I'll let you know. At the moment, I got nuthin'.
