If you could have any object turned into a tap handle, what would it be?

[GroosBrewz]

I have a standing invitation from a friend to make me a custom tap handle to round out my 4 tap kegerator. For some reason I am feeling a little uninspired.. I already have a Seahawks Tap Handle Pee Wee Herman Head (which creeps people out), and Custom made Twisted Sister logo tap handle (What can I say, 1984-85 are very memorable for me)... I was thinking it might be cool to add a He-Man action figure or something, but I don't know.. I think I am over the mid 80's theme and it's time for something new.. If you guys could have anything turned into a tap handle, what would it be and why?

A Piccolo.

I'll come up with something better later.

I want to take some old/broken guitar necks and saw them off several inches below the headstock, keeping the tuners, frets and strings.

I currently have a Lycaonian obol from 258 A.D. depicting Percius holding the severed head of Medusa, I will be putting this in a sterling silver bezel inlayed into a tap handle for my Ferryman's ale, a nod to the tradition of placing an obol on the deceased persons tongue or eyelids to pay the ferryman for the journey to the afterlife.

Inspiration for a tap handle comes from my imagination, as well as the fact that I packrat loads of stuff away. I have a stone arrowhead I dug up 25 years ago on our property in WI that is just itching for a place on a handle.

 

[blizzard]

In the same vein, I'm thinking Transformers. Or possibly a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robot.

A Oboe. How cool would it be to have an Oboe tap handle.

 

[1fastsedan]

The bent connecting rod out of my blown-up HEMI.

that would be one long tap handle, not quite as epic as having a bassoon tap handle, but still a big honkin tap handle. if I were going for musical tap handle I would stick to a cut guitar neck or even a kazoo or a harmonica

The Rock bobblehead doll.

A jockey shift off an HD Servicar

 

[stevedasleeve]

I would make it a Hitachi Magic Wand. My wife loves that thing!

 

[GroosBrewz]

There are some very cool ideas on here... I was thinking about the guitar neck idea as well.. I just need a POS guitar to saw it off...

I love that thing....

I busted out "bachelor party" from 1984 staring Tom Hanks and showed my wife that the magic wizzand is old school.

I am currently widdling away at a piece of wood for a tap handle its going to be a joke, and i call it a Az spotted WoodPecker

A barbie doll. Or any doll, like nostalgic star wars dolls or something.

I did that. I haven't got around to putting the strings back on it. I cut the headstock off my daughters WalMart special and drilled and tapped the bottom of it.

Doesn't look bad, but I really ought to wind some strings back on and rub off the "First Act" logo...

I should be shopping for a Darth Vader Bobblehead to mount on the other tap.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

My ex-wife's head. The reasons should be self-explanatory.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Oh, and her new husband's head could be the other one...........

 

[FromZwolle]

the cat skull i found in my inlaws yard.

 

[509inc]

Drumsticks.

 

[nostalgia]

I've been on the Internet too long: the first thing that popped into my head was, "Your mom."

Hm...how about a taphandle with a little digital display telling you what's on tap? Like a tiny photo frame.

I'm totally doing that now

I have a guitar neck thats broken. I'll look after work for it. If you want it its yours.

 

[Airborneguy]

I just glued a plastic army man onto one of those cheap black handles. My first homemade handle!

 

[Jota21]

I have a hockey puck. What i really want is the butt-end of a hockey stick that was broken by a player in an NHL game. I have no idea how to go about getting one, but I think that would be cool

That would give new meaning to pulling a pint.

LMAO..Thanks for the offer on the guitar neck 509.. However I am now kicking around some other ideas..... Shrunken heads come to mind... hmmmm

 

[weirdboy]

That would give new meaning to pulling a pint.

I would love to throw a party with self-serve beer where all the tap handles are different size/shape dildos. There is so much potential entertainment value.

One of these would be kinda cool.

The bent connecting rod out of my blown-up HEMI.

I'm wrapping up my keezer now and I'm a big car guy. I've been looking for months for car engine parts as tap handles. Camshaft, connecting rod, maybe a scaled down crankshaft, and maybe a shifter or something. Can't use the steel its just too heavy and leaves the tap open. A friend has access to a smelter so I thought about casting copies out of aluminum but that's a LOT of work.

Anyone seen car parts as tap handles?
