Tap Handles

Post by cpstang1967 »

I had a friend/customer ask me to make him some tap handles for his brewery he just opened. I burned a couple different designs just to fool around with, but not really happy with how they look.

Anyone ever tried anything like this?

Thanks,
Cody

i hav,e never done but i would think a thicker piece , 1/4 - 3/8 and scribe both sides of it with beer name would look pretty good. then weld proper thread to bottom
or cut just logo into top or something with decals.
not sure how much detail but i think it would be fun doing regardless and fairly easy
stainless polished kinda pricey but would look great in my opinion
cut two of whatever, sandwich them onto a spacer of some sort (bolt ,rod ,square stock etc) and plug weld to give it some dimension.

just some ideas as i have seen beer taps a couple of times in my life :D
