Searched using different keywords, looked through 29 pages in the post your rig thread. I came up with nada. I'm going to start molesting my kegs tomorrow and wanted to shamelessly try and copy some of the lines I have seen on kegs. Unfortunately I never bookmarked any of the photos I admired. If you have an idea how to track down photos better I would love to hear about it.

Re: Looking 4 stylized cuts near handles
try looking in the construction topic rather than Boilers.
I even tried a google image search for beer keg still and didnt get a lot of good images.

Re: Looking 4 stylized cuts near handles
I have a large file of things that caught my interest but not one photo of keg handles. My memory is shot but I haven't fully realized it yet. There was one keg that someone had cut down and finished with a very clean line. What I have drawn out so far is not pleasing. It will all work out and then get covered by insulation. Mira nomas

Re: Looking 4 stylized cuts near handles
I prefer the lines of the kegs when the handle ring is cut back on what becomes the front of the still, but the back is left in tact providing a clean place to add a large fill port ferrule and a 3 inch ferrule on center for the riser.
I find myself hanging a bag of coffee filters and jar rings off the handles of my Milk Can when Im running, so I see the need for some type of handles on a keg boiler.

This seems to be a common style

Re: Looking 4 stylized cuts near handles
For all of my boilers, I installed a 6" ferrule on the top/center. I use a flat cap reduced to a 3" ferrule. I also have a 3" fill port. I saw a member here a while ago who did the exact opposite and I think it's a brilliant idea. He used a ferrule on the top/center of the keg the same size as his column/riser and a 6" ferrule for the fill port. If I could do it over again I'd probably do it like he did.
