[Donasay]

if you have any action figures, or if your SWMBO has other erhem "toys" they can be turned into funky weird tap handles.

Dolls or fake penises? Do you actually have any friends?

Here's how I got rid of a few of my bottles once I started kegging.

I thought of carving a wooden donkey for a tap handle because my wife wants to have cheap beer on tap for beer pong. Gotta love her.

Anyway, the donkey was my idea because she was talking about Bud Light on tap and I think that tastes like A**.

LOL! Yeah, carving a donkey would be a lot easier than carving a couple having sex in a canoe.

I would love that tap handle!!!



HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! ROFLMAO!!!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!! That was the first dirty joke I told my father! My folks were leaving town to get away when I was 16 or so and they told me to stay out of the beer and he'll know how many were missing cause he counted them!!! Reineer Light or Old Milwauki Light or some crappy on sale beer of the sorts. Even at 16 or so I knew his beer sucked(imho) and reassured him he had nothing to worry about. When he asked why I told him it's like sex in a canoe! He was a bit puzzled, then I drove it home with the punchline!!!! He then proceded to mark how much booze was left in each bottle with a sharpie...

What is the punch line???

and an drill you can make anything into a tap handle (well, not anything, meat wouldn't work, or a cat, but lots of things).

I'm just using oak, though.

Where do you find those?

 

[FairbanksBrewinGirl]

We picked one up at Lowe's on Friday. HWMBO made these tap handles out of some table legs (cut from a three dollar table) and some of those wooden plaques you can get at a craft store for about 50 cents.

Laminated the labels and then attached them with a removable sticky, so we can change them out; simple, cheap, and looks good (we think )

Here are a few that I made for a forum member from redwood burl:

I did the same thing, only I figured that the plaques were so cheap I could just sandwich them back-to-back, decoupage the label on, and tap a threaded ferrule into them, making one for each style of beer. I guess I went the hard way. BTW, I used candlesticks as the actual taphandle.

Here's how I put them together:

And here's what they look like when they're finished:

And here is the finished pic.

thanks again Joe

 

[sjvicker]

Here's mine. Can anyone guess what it is?

 

[MrNate]

Steering linkage? Shifter linkage? Whatever it is, it looks great.

Those redwood burl handles look fantastic, too!

Goes on a motorcycle?

 

[Homercidal]

I could use the old shifter off my 69 Mustang and use it for a handle...

Or, if I could find a small carving of a hand ready to armwrestle, I could mount that on the faucet and to pour you just grip it and pull...
