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...]

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.
24 May 09   Yesterday's Preston indoor ponyplay day

The date of the long-planned Preston indoor ponyplay day finally arrived yesterday. It was one of the best times I've ever had at a BDSM event, and a credit to everyone who took part or helped out, and to LadyPandoraCP and sparky1 who organised it [more...]
17 Nov 08   Carts and rides

Writing a review of The Human Pony reminded me of the prototype cart I made at the start of the year, and yesterday I tried using it as a handcart for moving firewood logs across the jumble of branches left by felling. It worked surprisingly well when pushed and guided over obstacles. [more...]
