Man my dog would love to chew on those antlers! He prefers them over hoofs.
I'm suprised my dog hasnt chewed them up but I think he prefers the beer I spill on the floor.

You can't get a tensile test rod past an engineer. I used to have couple of those, post test, laying around.
I get the impression that there is a higher than average concentration of fellow engineers on this forum.
We do tend to enjoy our beverages. At MSU it was much harped upon that the College of Engineering had more bar crawls than any other college.I've found that engineers tend to collect hobbies that inherently lend themselves to needlessly over complicating systems in pursuit of perfection....
...and things that involve drinking :cross:
Not that I wold know anything about either of those things.

I've picked up a couple muscle car shift handles (a Hurst T-Handle and a Mopar pistol-grip) that will be made into tap handles but I'm buried in needlessly overcomplicated projects right now, so there's nothing to show.
Our friend's mother is a glass blower. Her son used to be the head chef for Dark Horse Brewery in Michigan and so she blew some glass tap handles for the bar. After he left dark horse, she was left with a big box of tap handles, so we grabbed 5 or 6. Some are solid colors while others are clear with color swirls like in the pics.
I believe she is making some more soon.

Do most hardware stores (ACE, Lowes, HD, etc...) carry the insert? I wanna get working on some new handles right away.
So did you just drill the cap and then screw them on?
So simple yet GREAT looking
Just a thought... if you could find a way to make them liquid tight even after they are screw onto the faucet you could fill each tube with a sample of the brew on that tap which would look way cool. Definitely a conversation piece
Got this idea from someone else on this board so I cant take full credit.
I made these tap handles tonight for my kegerator.
I try to always have an IPA and a Stout or dark beer on tap at all times. So I took some used yeast vials and put Whole leaf hops in one and Black Patent Malt in the other. I think they turned out pretty good.
i took a hex nut the size of the tap handle bolt, grinded it down so it was a circle and soldered it into a spent .50 call shell. I need to shine the shell and spray it with some lacquer so it stays nice and shiny.
