White Tailed Deer- Beer Tap Handle

Please visit my new site to see more tap handles that I have made, as well information on purchasing one. http://antlertaphandle.blogspot.com/

Here's another project that I just finished.  I've had this antler laying around for a few years, and finally found a use for it.  The wooden base is finished in red oak.  This is currently for sale here.
UPDATE: this tap handle has been sold.  I will be making more, so check my Etsy shop here.
If you have an antler, I'd be glad to make a custom mount for it.  Just send me an email.

Quantum Levitation

This video has been around for a few months, and somehow I neglected posting it when I first saw it.  It is so cool, though that I have to post it, even though it is late.


Here's another video with greater explanation.

Industrial Corkscrew

UPDATE:  This corkscrew was sold on Ebay to a major collector from Romania.  Pretty cool that this will be in a collection 5000 miles away. 
These are still avaliable, made to order, on my Etsy page here.

I neglected to take any pictures while making this, so I'll try to explain the process instead.  On a whim I bought a couple of corkscrew blanks from a seller on Ebay.  Once I got them I wasn't sure what to do with them.  I had some diamond pattern tubing laying around, so I decided to use that as a handle.  The end caps are washers, held together with bolts and a coupling nut in the middle.  All of the nuts were "welded" together with JB Weld.  These are for sale on Etsy and Ebay.  Check my "For Sale" page for links.
