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

[azscoob]

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?

The parts you use need to be light, I have a small collection of aluminum connecting rods from my 572" 65 chevelle that were consumed beyond use while messing with a fogger system, not too heavy and would easily make a sweet tap handle, you could use a camshaft cut down to a reasonable size, how about a machined base with a gnarly bent up valve welded to it, that could be cool, for stubby handles a selection of aluminum roller rocker arms would be interesting as well

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

Lemme see what I can do for you...........

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.

Would love to see this when you get it finished.

A life-sized plastic skull I have laying around for some reason.

How about a human femur? you can score imperfect scientific skeletons and misc bones from here, I buy them for Halloween projects, I have a matched set of skull end table lamps that I made from bits from this site,

They aren't from an NHL game (they are mine), but I made two tap handles from the butt-end of broken sticks.

Dog chewed up the DirecTV remote. I'm thinking of making it into a tap handle for the Doghouse ale. Seems appropriate.

How about some handcuffs, or a billy club, or a dart board, or a toilet. <<< These are the first things that popped into my head.

I was thinking about having a lifesized schlong cast out of that resin stuff, but my tap handle can only be about 8 inches long or it will hit stuff sitting on top of the kegerator. I don't want all my beer poured out accidentally.

"Pouring your beer" prematurely, one might say?

All that length ain't worth a damn if you don't know how to handle it!

I've considered taking some hockey pucks and turing them into tap handles.

You can't use Brett Farve as a tap handle. There is a law or something against it.

I have a Subaru (Legacy) shift knob that is begging to be turned into a tap handle. I also have a friend that is getting into wood lathing and she is making me something. "What do you want?" "Anything."

I also have another friend that designs jewelry out of miscellaneous mechanical parts (steam punk design stuff) so I told her if she runs across anything phallic looking to grab it for me.

I have an old 9mm that has a bullet stuck in it when ever I get around to taking it in to remove the bullet that's gonna be a new handle.

Screw all the dildo talk, give me some ****ies!! The bust of a busty woman. Although SWMBO might not like it too much and my sons would like it too much.

Being a geek/tech-head I am thinking of taking my Dremel to some old boards/components I have laying around then suspending them in a resin form shaped like a handle.

I would go with the bolt from a rifle with a round in the end.
