Lathe project ideas

[cfosty]

I finally got my lathe up and running after being in storage so I was looking for some ideas that would be useful for homebrewing. I also have some 304 stainless bar stock that I can use.

I use a single vessel BIAB setup so I may try a weldless thermowell or weldless bulkhead fitting but I'm open to ideas that might be helpful to others too. Just trying to get some more experience machining stainless.

Tap handles?

Cheers!

[edit] Also, growler filler inserts for popular faucets.

Mash paddle?

A growler filler and tap handle might be cool.
For the growler filler it looks like the faucet I have is 1/2" bore and the other side would be a 1/2"" barb so that would be easy enough.

The tap handle looks like it's threaded 3/8-16 and I might make that out of copper and polish it.

A mash paddle would be nice but I don't have a mill or welder yet, but it's on the list!
