These were made from stuff from work. My friend help me weld the nuts for the taps.
Arent most prosthetics made out of titanium? Is that difficult to weld?

1/2" for most woods. I have to use 9/16" for some to prevent the insert from stripping the wood out.So I have a question. What size of wood drill do you need to insert the wood 3/8 insert ? I got a 3/8 size drill bit to make the hole, but the insert wont go in.....so what size would work ? 1/2 ?

Thanks! Left to right we have ebony, bigleaf maple burl, Australian myrtle burl, and bocote.^ wow .. those are amazing!!! What type of wood is the second from the left?
For about 3 bucks each you can get these lovely wooden mini table legs from Lowes.
I guess I should show what the fruits of my labor have yielded thus far:
Bullet bill and Bill blaster!
So here is what they both look like together with my brand new perlicks:
Here is one of my future plans....Its a casing from the 30mm cannon of an A-10.
that is what I wanted to do too. finding them for a decent price is the hard part, since I'm a civilian.
I leave Afghanistan in a few months, you keep in touch, and I manage to grab a bunch of casings...we can work a trade. I only need 3 or so.
Please be carefull on what you pick up. Some of the most interesting things are meant to mame and kill over there.

Pleeeeease think about what was shot out of that casing... it was a depleted uranium round. not exactly the safest thing to have laying around the house not to mention around an open beer glass.
I ordered medium Ferrules and just got done putting togeather the White Labs vials filled with grain. I am very happy with these tap handles.
If they feel a little flimsy, put a metal washer in the cap, if you haven't already. Makes them solid as a rock.
Awesome handles timbudtwo! What are they made of? I have a NES controler handle floating around somewhere in this thread.
Open beer glass or closed bottle I don't think it makes a difference when it comes to radiation. But in this case I wouldn't worry about itPleeeeease think about what was shot out of that casing... it was a depleted uranium round. not exactly the safest thing to have laying around the house not to mention around an open beer glass.

They used depleted uranium for aileron counterweights in the C141. Just kept the spares in a parts locker, no special shielding. They are depleted after all. Only slightly radioactive. But much heavier than lead.
not quite as cool as most of the others on here, but here's my first attempt at home made ...
going to mount a putter head to go along with it for my second tap in the near future
Bugman's Brewery!
What a Great idea!
