Wanted Couple Of Tap Handles

[kabooby]

Have a look in the hardware in the castors section. You can get threaded peices that hammer into the bottom of chair legs for castors that are the same thread as tap handles.

Thats what I used anyway.

Try this guy - no affiliation, just found him while browsing one day

He has some new ones similar, might be worth a shot even though a red one isnt shown.

Cheers

:lol: Yeah, I'd like to, but not sure my skills are up there. I've been using the dremel, a large chisel, and a small file. Probably need the "flexi-shaft" attachment for the dremel for anything more fine than this.

Actually carving some tiny mashpaddles might make interesting handles..

Sqyre..

 

[bonj]

I'd be worried about the strength of the timber if you make them too small. The handle I'm carving is more rustic, which suits my "hack and slash" carving style. I copied the idea from a resin cast handle on ebay

Got a gold one if still required. Brewery handle for Pure blonde. Adaptor kit also for either Brumby or flowryte.

Nice work there Bonj.

One down, one to go?

The tap on the right looks a little naked without one ontop of it too.... :lol:

Are you staining/laquering it once done too I assume?

 

[bonj]

Thanks Raven. One down, two to go

Yes, I will be staining and sealing to approximate the colour of Hawaiian Koa, which is similar to Mahogany. I'll also be painting part of the shaped sections flat black to simulate a burnt look, which looks great on full size tikis. Inside the mouth will be one part that will be black.

They are $11 at Andale.

i did try andale, spoke with a guy named luke i think.
he told me $20 each and they only have red ones.
prefer second hand prices if available too.

You're kidding?

I emailed them asking for a quote for a new black handle for the floryte tap that I sold on here a coupla weeks back. The quote was $10+FGST, which I received by email. Postage of course would take that up but it seems you would be paying that anywhere.

Try emailing them, you will get the accounts woman who actually knows whats going on.

ill send a few emails out and let ya no how i go.
cheers

I dont know what the difference is, I just asked for a handle for the floryte tap. It could be they are different. I presume my quote was for a standard one, mind you they seem fine to me, its only opening a valve
Good luck with it.

Jake
