Yup, and you could even chuck it in the lathe turn some 'barbs' on it if you really wanted to...

True, but I am mystified why you would bother. I am holding in my hand a nice brass NPT to hose barb fitting that
I purchased at Ace hardware just yesterday for 57 cents. Just how many of those things do you use in a homebuilt and
how much is your time worth?

I think the original issue was the parts were not available. The ones identified are steel, also. I don't see the need
for the 'barbs' now that I have seen the actual parts.
