Guest guest Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 You can make your own if you're somewhat handy and you own a drill. You need 1 piece of bamboo and 2 small dowels. find a 1/2 inch piece of bamboo (or hollow wood pipe) Get 2 small pieces of dowel, one smaller than the other. The width of larger piece of dowel should be exactly the diameter of the inside of the bamboo tube. Drill a hole through the bamboo to match the diameter of the larger dowel. Drill a hole through the larger dowel at one end for the smaller dowel and one about half way through to let the kt through. Slide the smaller dowel through the hole in the top of the larger dowel for a turning handle. You can glue this in. Slide the larger dowel into the bamboo so the hole lines up. Insert the spigot into your bottle and use teflon tape to take up any little bit of slack. I've done one this way a few times. I've attached a graphic.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi Teresita, Sounds wonderful. The graphic did not go through as attachments are not allowed on the list but you can put a photo or graphic in the list photos section if you like. I would love to see your bamboo spigot. If you need help just let me know and send me the photo and I will upload it to the photo section.
