The flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, and Creve Coeur Airport's rolling party bar has a fresh annual. I think this is a better use for an old 220 cylinder than turning it into a lamp. When was the last time you got a cold beer out of your lamp?

Now that is cool.

The only things I have that were made from some old cylinders are desk lamps. One’s a 985 the other’s a Continental 220.

Pretty cool Albert 8) ...now lets see how creative you can be by making a beer-bong out of some of those turret parts. :P

Looks like someone else had the same idea I had about a tap tower. :) I've love a few more shots of how the faucet is mounted if you have any.

I was thinking of mounting 4 taps in a Jug(I'm a homebrewer that uses 5 gallon Soda kegs, they take a lot less room).


Someday!
Tim

Tim,
PM me with your email and I'll send you some more detailed photos. Turning the cylinder into a beer tap was the easy part of building this mobile bar. You can find beer tap kits at your local bar/restaurant supply store or order them online. I used a kit that was designed for turning an old fridge into a beer tapper. You know, the kind of stuff that college kids would have in their frat or rental house. I think every airport or hangar should have a cylinder beer tapper, right? :)

Hi Albert, I saw that at Eric Downing's party Saturday night. Were you there? That sucker gave me a hell of a headache the next day. I can't understand why! Maybe you could work that out......................John

Mr. Peters,
Per your request, I have performed a field modification to the bar. I have installed a turret gunner's relief tube/beer bong. I will wait for you to perform the operational tests.

Mr. Bell,
I've been fighting some sort of pesky virus for the last ten days so I was only at Eric's party for a short time. Sorry I missed you. I'll try to get my CAF membership application finished and mail it off with a check this week. I'm sure we will meet up soon.

Albert,

I was wondering if you'd use the ball turret gunner's relief tube for your beer-bong. :lol: I just hope it's NOS and doesn't have 60+ year old piss stains on it! :x :wink:

Bill, Good question. Most of the ladies love Pinky. Most of the men hate it. I have a theory.

To borrow a line from the 1985 movie Rustlers' Rhapsody, the part where Wrangler Bob Barber and The Singing Cowboy Rex O'Herlihan are about to face off with their six shooters when Barber says "you have to be a confident heterosexual" to win. :shock:
