Brewpastor's Draft Box Pics

Well, I have finally gotten a few coats of poly on my draft box and built a drip tray. I still want a few more coats on everything, but I am pleased with how this has turned out. I will be taking it to Denver for the Nationals and they are going to use it in the Hospitality Suite when we aren't using it for the Club Nite.

A beautiful job there BP. Some pics of the guts would be nice to see as well sometime.

Looking great... very nicely done! Love the beer engines on the ends.

WHOA.

It isn't often that I'm speechless.

I am absolutely floored by the workmanship there. Absolutely stellar job. DAMN, I wish I could be pulling a pint off of that next week!

Am I the only one that sees this striking similarity?

There's just a blank space where the pics should be...I can see the Ark though.

I can see the Ark, but I guess Photobucket is blocked somehow...

Now you understand why I don't show you the insides of my ark, urr, I mean my draft box. You remember in Raiders when the Nazis open the box. I wouldn't be pretty...

The grate for the tray is a piece of ceiling light covering I found in a dumpster. I just cut it to size. Nothing is better then free!

I thought it looked like a piece from a fluorescent light, mmmm... shinny things (ok it is prolly my bed time).

It's so beautiful... I can't believe you have two cask pumps on that thing. Amazing.

I have to agree, the addition of the two cask pumps flanking the taps looks completely amazing! Do you know what kind of beers they are going to feature in the Hospitality suite?

No, different clubs will be playing host throughout the event. As long as it is good I am fine!

BP. I'd be more than happy to store that at my house for you. Trust me. I would NEVER let you forget it when you leave.

You are quite the craftsman. A very beautiful piece.

A thing of beauty...

OK, I can see the pics from my home PC. I remember seeing them earlier. They look better now though.

I'm going to go throw rocks at my Sanyo now...

I am going to tell my wife that this weekend when I buy more beer and brew equipment.

Beautiful work btw. I will be saving this pic as inspiration for my coffin box.

Is that the one your wife will be laying out in?

Please enlighten me on this thing of beauty! What are the things on the end of the ends? Beer engines??? For casks??

Thanks!!

Yes they are two engines, although I don't use cask, but simply pukk out of my cornies.

You're gonna have to tell me what a beer engine is....

A beer engine is a simple pump, mostly utilized in British pubs, that is used to dispense draught beer. It consists of a cylinder, a handle and a length of tubing and beer is pulled out or pumped out of a cask instead of pushed out with CO2. It is a simple design, not really practicle, but still very cool to a beer geek. The beer is lightly carbonated and has a softer feel to it. Google "real ale" and you can find out as much as you will ever want to!

This is a thing of beauty, any chance on some interior shots.

Every once in a while threads are worthy of resurrection. Now where is that Apricot Ale label...
