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

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...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).
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!

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.Nice. I've actually been thinking of building something like that. I found this version. More portable.

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.
I thought we were going to Mars...

Yes.
Baby steps.
Aside from the center core hitting the ocean at 300mph that was an incredibly successful maiden flight for such a complex machine.
Lighting and controlling 27 engines through the flight envelope is not exactly a walk on the moon, never mind a synchronized landing for the boosters...
Cheers!

Cool! I guess low Earth orbit is a start. What a milestone! I bet it will be good to launch satellites though: where the money is. Cynical am I? Moreso when I'm drinking. I'm gonna be a complete ass when I'm an old man
Dude, you should at least read the flight plan for the Falcon Heavy test payload:
Musk's sports car and dummy pilot are going to end up in an orbit that will swing it by Mars for a gazillion years...

I admit, I haven't done my research. I'm just drinking.

duct tape my a$$ to a Saturn V, I'll go to Mars
Live stream of the car. It just had a nice view of Earth over the dashboard

EM claims he is building these launch systems at a cost of $1k USD per pound.
Whereas NASA was doing the shuttle systems at $10k per pound.
Too bad the core got wasted.
My company has been working with SpaceX. Reduction of price is pretty close to that and will help with profits. Prices of tech always drop. Think of your Blu-ray player

Hah. Bad example. I spent hundreds on a flagship model Pioneer Elite. Which hasn't seen a BD in years cause it's collecting dust in my attic after being replaced by a DVP streaming stick.
