Nice. I've actually been thinking of building something like that. I found this version. More portable. But I like your use of a ball valve...more brewery-like and only 1/4 turn to get the booze flowing. What did you use to allow the bottle to thread onto that reducer fitting?

This just may be the funniest thing I've ever seen. But then I may be a little tipply. I'll see how it looks tomorrow.

Or maybe HE-MAN finishing school where they balance cement blocks on their heads instead of books? Nah. Probably just break dancing or intentionally dropped repeatedly on his head.

Valentines's Day is just around the corner. Don't wait until the last minute to do your shopping (taken by a friend at the Wally World in Havre, MT).

Pretty sure 750s of Jack are threaded the same as soda bottles. 200 and 375 as well. 1.75 are much bigger.

If you're doing corked bottles(most good bourbon), a little more funky. Maybe consider hacking one of the add on swing tops and use it's collar to somehow secure the bottle.
Can't find a link atm but I have seen swing tops that you can attach to standard 12oz bottles. Beer reps use them a lot. I can't get down with the bottle only being held in upside down by the pressure of a stopper in the neck.

If only I could be 40% thinner that easily...

Thanks. Most of my whiskeys are stoppered, but I agree with you--I'm not crazy about a bottle of good booze being supported merely by a stopper only. Might try your swing top idea. Otherwise, it would be a stopper, plus some kind of reinforcing sleeve, which would detract from the looks.

I've probably seen this pic a thousand times. I was in college when it appeared as an album cover. I have a t-shirt with this on it. I've even noticed the Bug in the background. But, this caption never occurred to me. Duh!

Whats the chocolate to nookie ratio?

It is nice, but I did not make this one. You can buy one on Etsy.com. They are a little pricey, so you would be better off making your own. Check to see if you can buy a reducer fitting with the right threads.

 

[harleybug88]

Or you could buy one of these.

Falcon Heavy side boosters landed successfully today. Throttable (liquid) RP-1/LOX fueled-boosters capable of recovery and reusability, with 140000lbs payload to low earth orbit in the heavy profile . . . may have to re-evaluate my opinion of Musk as a rent seeker. This is a major step forward for launch systems, huge potential to drive down launch prices.
