Aviation inspired custom built tap tower & fridge setup...

What are you going to do for a drip tray?

I am going to make a cutout and build a small drip tray down into the bottom and attach the line to the sink a couple feet away.

As an A&P with over 17 years wrench turning time, I approve of this thread.

Fantastic job! I love those throttles as tap handles, wish I could find some myself.

That is the kind of tap handle I am looking to launch my brewery. hard to find joystick for this purpose.

Anybody know how to turn the pics before I upload them here? They were not sideways when I attached them.

easiest way is to get a photobucket account that you use for formus and stuff, upload images to that, then copy the image link from photobucket and paste it into the insert pic box.

I realize as I type that it sounds complicated. its not. I promise.

EDIT. Sorry did not realize how old this thread was. My Bad.

The tap setup is still cool! Awesome job!
I've been planning some handles with gauges too. I've got some but need to figure out how to mount them.

Also A&P here... what a great idea. I work on fuel systems, controls mostly so not sure what I could use. but i love the idea...

Thank you!
After several years of service my tap tower has given me and my friends a lot of good times.
Forward some pics once you come up with your own design.
I may build another one this winter for a friend in the medical profession.

Cheers

I tig welded ¼-20 nuts on the bottom of the throttles to attach to the tap handles.
Good luck.
Let me see when you get it done.

A&P here too. You could also add in flaps/slats, spoilers, etc for additional tap handles. I like this.
