I bought some used standard faucets that I sold the old tap handles, and I've been looking for something unique.
I found some port wine bottles that I added threaded inserts to with resin, and now that I have them together, I'm wondering if they're too heavy. (Two I added the inserts in the neck, so the bottle sits upside-down on the faucet, was going to make some "Bottom's Up Grog" labels to put on them. A third has the punt filled with resin so the insert is almost flush with the bottom of the bottle.)
On the plus side, the inserts are a little off center, so the center of gravity does tend to pull them back to keep it closed, but I'm still not so sure this is a good idea. I should probably just pressure up the faucet and see how it works, but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this before I made a mess.
Pictures to follow.
