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.

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

Ocarina from legend of zelda?

 

[Huskysibe]

Stretch Armstrong would be a cool tap handle

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!

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.

All been done already. You can get them off ebay easily. I got three of the complete 50 cal rounds as handles.

How about a Magic 8 ball

Magic 8 ball should I have another Beer? ...... Signs point to yes

Or a Rubik Cube

 

[rhamilton]

Korn's microphone stand. Kind of creepy but would definitely be a conversation piece.

The head from the bulldog bobble head I had in my first car.

 

[wilded]

A forked deer antler.

 

[GroosBrewz]

Buddy Christ from Dogma would make a cool tap handle.

Agreed

 

[jpietraski]

Buddy Christ would be awesome.
Amazon...13.99

I think the poop monster would also be cool for like a stout

HA!! I just did this last night and posted a new thread about it today. I didn't know how many other people had the same idea.

 

[GroosBrewz]

It's everything I thought it would be.. Nice!

 

[kklowell]

I logged on because I was thinking yesterday that all these old fishing rods I have from my bass tournament days must have a use, and that lead to wondering if anyone had ever used the handle as a tap handle. Didn't see one here, but did get to read one long and entertaining thread.
I have it in my head that these handles, with baitcasting reels attached, would make some pretty cool tap handles for a fishing-themed bar. Only thing stopping me is an almost complete lack of cash. Money sucks. Well, ok, money doesn't suck...the lack of it sucks.

 

[OldGoat]

The headstock and a few inches of the neck of a Fender Telecaster...for the twang

 

[Diaperload]

Brass knuckles would be cool. A few people have mentioned them.

My idea would be an old hood ornament. In the 20's and 30's there were some pretty sweet looking ornaments. Hudson, Packer, Chrystler, etc.

Either one of these would be sweet.

 

[Homercidal]

They would be expensive tap handles. Some of those are worth a few $$s.

 

[GroosBrewz]

A shrunken head would be cool..

 

[mlarnold]

A sonic screwdriver

 

[TyTanium]

At first I thought that was a crazy-looking lightsaber handle.

Speaking of which, a lightsaber would make a sweet-looking tap handle, like this one.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

My wife,

because at least then I'd know what is permanently stuck up her...

 

[Homercidal]

A sonic screwdriver

Uh oh... I got the Tenth Doctor and the Eleventh Doctor's sonic screwdrivers for my daughters for X-mas....

I wonder if they would notice on of them missing.

I got the eleventh doctors for Christmas....
I think I have a project when I get home

 

[mlarnold]

Perhaps in a snug fitting cup so if anything needs soniced it comes away easy but not too easy

I spent the second half of my work day trying to figure this out.
Just figured out out. My screwdriver is a real screwdriver, sooooo I just need to adapt the tap thread to a hex rod of the appropriate size.

 

[Sean]

A foot.

A sexy foot, mind ya!

 

[bengerman]

there's an app for that.




(i am terrified thinking about this and realizing that i'm probably right...)

 

[TW1Kell]

Hector...OH! Allow me to explain: The shrunken head that I received while an Advisor in South America during my Army years. Since he was a shabby excuse for an enemy soldier, maybe he'd serve as a better tap handle...

 

[ReDim]

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

Are accountants considered objects ?

I submit for the approval of the board. (I still have some improvements in mind, but it's proof of concept, at the least)
