Show Us Your Tap Handles

[Tin Shed]

Wow - great tap handles. I just joined this site and not long started kit rewing. I also do some woodturning and wouldlike tohave a go at aset of handles. Can anyone tell me what size the tap sockets are i.e top and bottom dimension and length of the socket and also how big a handle is too big - is a foot too long. I've got lots of wood and some exotic wood too.

Thanks.

Mine newish Tap handles(thanx Batz), I love the longer style, makes it easier to pull the tap open, more leverage, hard work pulling a beer with short black handles...

Yes it goes past my freezer doors - damn never planning to have long handles!

Anyway, its a little alloy stepper that extends your handle but also make it not such a step to the eye.... nice.

Sorry for the crappy phone pic:

Just saw this, but I am in the process of making some .50 cal ones at work with a Jarrah or Brass projectile, will do both and see which is better. :icon_cheers:

I also have some 20mm CWIS shells there too but .50 (12.7mm) GPMG are my bread and butter, so easy to come by. :icon_cheers:

Decided to do a reverse projectile handle as it wouldn't fit otherwise, so here is the prototype and will make another 2 for future expansion :icon_cheers:

Thank god you took the pic prior to polish, I don't think you could capture anything shinier than that on photo... it would just be like a shot of the predator!!

Nice work!
:super:

Nice work, Cocko.

As are the handles, Munut. In my house I'd be making everyone don gloves before pulling a beer.
