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

Someone may have already posted it, but an old gear shifter would be cool.

My SWMBO wants to get some of those "make your own dildo" kits and present replicas of my member as tap handles.

Then again, she's not quite right in the head...

That my plan. I want to get a new shift knob for the mustang and use the original on my kegerator. Long range plan is to upgrade the 3-speed to a 5-speed, so the original is not going to be a "fit" at that point anyway.

Wouldn't really give you a lot of grab onto, would it?

It would be great to make every gear a different beer.

Well, since those little black plastic handles work, I don't see why my member wouldn't...

So, they're about the same size?

 

[brewmcq]

Nope. I think the little black plastic things are longer.

:-D

gear shifters are the same exact thread as a tap handle.

That's the easy part. It would take one helluva manifold/valve system to pull it off.

My buddy turned an old school 80's "Madball" into a tap handle.. and it's the bomb!
He used the "Screamin' Meemie" madball.. He pumped the hollow ball full of some kind of foam insulation and it worked beautifully..

I picked up a tap, die, drill bit set from Lowes about a week ago. It includes the size for handles as well as the other sizes I needed/wanted. Think it was about $50 (don't remember exactly). Worth looking into. I would also check at Sears for a good set.

 

[ceannt]

I was just thinking of looking for a threaded brass sleeve..... to use as an insert... I'm a woodturner....

Thanks! I was supposed to bring a screw in to work so I could get the right thread, but I forgot. You saved me a trip home at lunch!

 

[Revvy]

Seems to me vintage/antique athletic trophies would have some cool parts on the. Not the cheap crappy plastic and plated ones of modern times, but those brass and bronze or at least pot metal ones of 20-30 years ago.

You can find them in junk stores, antique stores, and garage and estate sale.
