Handmade Tap Handles

In this video I make a handful of prototype tap handles for a brewery. It was fun to figure out the processes and techniques to be able to produce these more effieciently in the future when I hopefully need to make a lot more of them. I got the colors custom matched to the colorway the art design firm used for the brewery logos and initial merchandise design. I used Behr cabinet and trim paint ...

Переглядів 4174 місяці тому
We got this fun little 1980 Honda XL185s motorcyle. It has been running great and starts right up, We did rattle it apart a little bit on our first trip out, and this video shows the projects and repairs I tackled to get it ready for the next trip. I performed some TIG welding and light fabrication on the stock exhaust and replaced the speedometer cable. Repair don't replace!

In Part 7 of the 19ft 1964 Carver Captain wood lapstrake boat project, I finish fabrication of the Transom and get it installed in the boat.

In Part 6 of the 19ft 1964 Carver Captain wood lapstrake boat project, my dad and I tackle repairing a few of the plywood planks topside. This was a very tedious process, especially with the fastener removal and replacement, being very careful not to damage the good planking during the process.

In Part 5 of the 19ft 1964 Carver Captain wood lapstrake boat project, I start the process of building a new transom for the boat. It may seem like I am being very cautious with this step, but I have a good bit of time and money tied up in this new transom at this point, so taking it slow to ensure I get it right the first time when fabricating this crucial new piece of the boat. This boat was ...

This is a quick overview of the boat as it currently is before we start in on what will hopefully eventually be a full restoration of the boat. After the overview I get the Mercruiser Alpha One outdrive removed in preparation for complete engine removal and transom repair.

Love your content! I rode a Honda 110 ATC when I was a kid and some 46 years later now I can't stop my craving to buy a Honda xl185s for 3k with only 2200 miles on it. I'm on the fence though and need something to push me over and release my obsession? I'm envisioning some fire trail rides up around our house in Big Bear.
You should definitely get one! They are a lot of fun. Thanks for checking out the videos.
Nice work Tim and Jamie!
Let’s go!
A simpler more austere final layout, more quality laminates, lighter airier look, and it will be an heirloom to keep for many years to come. Campers are a home away from home.
Don't forget to finish the boat!
Haha. I know! The airstream project actually predates the boat, but both are still in process in real time, but hopefully will have more boat progress videos soon!
Well done.
Now to blend the new interior varnish with the old. I recommend a glaze mixed with the varnish. I have used an oil-based stain mixed in tiny amounts to the varnish. 3 coats tested on new scrap and maybe one unifying coat on old inner planking of the same varnish glaze to blend all.
Thanks for this info. I am planning to sand back and revarnish the interior as it’s all cracked and peeling but I will do more research on the glaze blending technique. I honestly don’t have much experience with this sort of stuff so any advice is appreciated.
Got to say those tap handles are looking great.
Wow look at those hands go!!
Git ‘er done, Tiiiiiim! 🚤 🌊
Can't have any #looseseals
Don't forget the polyurethane sealant!
The subfloor, the floor's floor, if you will
I love me some rust encapsulator paint
How do you select your music? #soundtrackoflife
Gotta take care of that floor #allaboutthatbase
I have a 1981 xl185, the speedometer started bouncing everywhere and whining. Do you have any suggestions?
Usually a bouncing needle means one end of the cable is skipping. Hopefully you can reseat/tighten the cable at each end. Check to see if the cable has any broken or missing teeth at the hub end.
@@makestuff__fixthings Will do, thanks for responding
Great vid!!
What's a phone jack?
I had no idea the old girl had been through so much #shebusted
I'll never forget you telling me that a good way to clean the toilet tank is to fill it with ice and take the trailer for a spin #saltinabong
Gotta take care of those C-channels
Do you watch this and get weirded out by your voice?
Yes. Does it sound weird to you too?
@@makestuff__fixthings soooo weird
The wait was too much!
nice to find a current project page... started digging into a 79 xl185s I bought last year... whoeee whee, so many farmer fixes on it, not sure where to start! Though I did grab a 'bolt' kit at the local dealership. A box of various sizes for UJM MX, and maybe replace some of the wing nuts!
No reason to apologize, thanks for new content!
Solid content!
Noice!
Can’t wait for the coverboard ep!
That’s a boat!
This looks awesome!
Skil 77 wormer. Ya' just love to see it. Nice job, sir.
Thanks 👍
Wow!! Looks great!
Well done! I did not see any filler for the epoxy glue up but it should work with the fasteners.
For most of it I used Totalboat Thixo, but ran out for the last 2 boards and used some two-part west systems stuff I had around. I added a little filler, but should have added more. Thanks for the feedback!
@@makestuff__fixthings Ahh. Well played. Well done!
Woowwwww!!!!! Very, very neat. I'm excited! #letsgetthisboatontheroad
I hope you're wearing sunscreen, young man
Today, you will make a huge commitment. Ask that transom for its hand in marriage. #putaringonit
Oh man, you gotta go with Smiths penetrating epoxy, ya just have to!
Ooh shiny stuff makes it perdy
Is epoxy just fancy glue?
That is one way to put it!
You have a very even keeled manner about this whole process
That transom is very handsome
Google uses this song to make photo memories
Watch out for scurvy! And pirates!
Get ready to sail the seven seas! #ayeayecaptain
Hey, the boat's moving!!
Wow! The boat is floating!
I was wondering which side was the top of the transom
Great vid!! Cute dogs!
Nice work! Where did you source your boat dollies?
Thanks! I fabricated the dollies myself. You can see the process in Part 4.
