27 Jun 11 Arch bench at Bridgewood

Last week I posted about the Arch Bench I've been building for Bridgewood and today (Sunday), I installed it as you can see in the picture. [more...]

17 Jun 11 Arch bench

This week I've been in the process of turning the upper half of this hammock frame from B&Q into a sort of arched spanking bench by turning it upside down (without the bottom legs) and bolting wooden slats across. The idea is to leave it outdoors at Bridgewood, probably with a tarpaulin across it when not in use. I'm bolting it to tanalised sleepers lengthways on the ground to stop it spreading out, and wooden supports under the wider slat at the top to add to its rigidity. [more...]

23 Jun 10 Making switches and birches

Last week there was a thread about birches on IC so while I was at Bridgewood this weekend, I decided to take some pictures of cutting switches and making a birch from the hazel which is abundant in the wood. Birch itself and willow are also good woods for this, but I naturally concentrate on hazel. [more...]

10 May 10 The Holding Pen

This weekend I've almost finished the Holding Pen at Bridgewood, which provides a secure holding space for captives, and is just over 3m by 3m in size. The walls are steel mesh panels, and it's all topped with barbed wire. [more...]

28 Jan 10 Suppliers page

Tonight I started a page listing BDSM suppliers that I've made purchases from over the years and are prepared to recommend. This really is a case of "put your money where your mouth is", rather than the comprehensive lists of vendors you see on sites like IC or TSR.

2 Sep 09 Cage pit

Over the Bank Holiday weekend, I built and assembled a wood-lined cage pit at Bridgewood. [more...]

19 Aug 09 This weekend at Bridgewood

PhoenixAmber has written a great blog about the weekend, including the Ladder Rack she and EricStanton built using some of the cut hazel poles. [more...]

1 Jul 09 Making a "flyprod"

Electric fly swatter bats have been around for a few years, and they're a tempting toy for BDSM use. When I first got one, I did wonder about adapting one to be a bit more like a cattle prod, and I've finally got round to it, with all the components from Maplins or B&Q. [more...]

2 Jun 09 Duct tape

A picture in honour of the ever versatile duct tape, which was involved in both of my last two posts.

It sticks, it hangs bin liners to make bins, makes arrows on the floor, holds seats onto pony carts, and metres and metres of it can make padded handles!

30 May 09 Photos and construction notes for Glider pony cart

I've had some requests for more information about the cart I used at the Preston indoor pony day, and so I've taken some more pictures and tried to explain how it all fits together. The parts are all readily available from DIY centres (eg B&Q) and bike shops (eg Halfords), and you'd only need a hacksaw, vice, drill, and metal files to build one.
