So the companion piece to the Steampunk Flogger finished drying today:
It is a birch 1.5 inch rod which had to trim down on the lathe to make the brass ends fit. Capped off with brass on each end and another piece of the steampunk bling on the butt (really can't tell with the ring on)
The birch isn't that much on wood grain and the minwax stain was water based, so it didn't really soak in the birch that well. Looks more like a paint job.
The falls are about 11 inches and has the end of the cowhide I used on the Steampunk, mixed with some moose.
All in all, fairly nice and has good heft. Still room to add more falls (I think there 26 there now) in case I want to add more.
The other project is reworking the magic wand post for the Interrogation Chair:
Did a stress and it seems to be working fine:
So in the middle of giving it a spray job and will see how it all looks tomorrow
Will let dry 24 hours and put it all back together.
The sad part is these two are probably going to be my last projects for some time.
With the tariffs hitting, my material prices are already skyrocketing.
So I am going to kick back and see how things go.
Thank you everyone for keeping up with me on this, it has been a hell of a ride and I hope I can get back into it sometime@
Awhile back, I teased you all with the workings on my latest toy project.
I finally got it all finished and thought I would see what you all thought of it!
One of my friends told me the floggers I was making were boring and needed to get a bit more creative. So I decided to see if I could work a bit combining my love for metal with the clear rod I could get to light up.
So the start of it all was the butt end where I cut a brass tube and capped it off with a copper cap:
Then tested out the LED to make sure it would fit:
I then added the acrylic rod and screwed it to the brass and added some bling:
(the black and red tape is some batwrap. It holds the copper cap on the brass)
Then added some bling and the handle ring to the copper:
When all that was said and done, I needed to make the topper which would hold the falls
But first, I decided the rod was too long and cut off about 2 inches
Then I cut more brass and two rings from a 1.5 inch copper connector
and screwed it on the top of the rod with some bling:
(also pictured is less complicated, plain wood handle. The next project)
Then came the falls:
72 Hours later, you have seen the final product
It feels really good in swinging it! I can't wait to give it a real test sometime!
This post is going to be a bit different from the rest of what I usually post.
While waiting for the glue on my latest flogger to cure, I decided to revisit something I put together awhile back, but wasn't really happy with. Those who have visited my profile probably have seen this photo:
The stand which holds the wand is very Rube Goldberg and needs an update. So while thinking on the replacement, I got to thinking about the primary use of it.
Now lots of people practice edging: Bring the s type up to the point of orgasum then back off and let them cool down and do it again. And again, and again.
But that really isn't my goal. I want to see how many orgasums an s type can have in a row. One after another, after another after another, before they safeword. Course I also want to put them on a stopwatch and see how long it is before they are completely done.
So the question becomes: How many is too many? Is there a safety issue? Have people done this before and I haven't heard about it?
She drove her tongue deep inside his mouth. Her hand pushed the back of his head toward her, so she could taste the inside of his throat. In turn, He pulled her hair away from him causing her tongue to slurp from between his lips.
"I won't submit to you", He told her before he bite the point of her neck where it joined her shoulder.
"I don't want your submission," She growled back at him, as she reached down to stroke his engorged member. "I want this inside me!"
"Dom Fucker" He laughed at her before biting a nipple and sliding a hand between her legs
"Domme Fucker" She moaned as She racked His back with both sets of nails
For you youngsters or those that came into the lifestyle after the turn of the century, Castle Realm was one of the early (if not the first) websites dedicated to the lifestyle. It was originally set up as a submissive collective to get s types data they needed to know to get the most out of their role and to keep them safe.
The checklist you see below is probably the first of it's kind. It was developed as an aid to what is now known as "Negotiations". I don't remember what it was called back in those days, I've always referred to it as "The Dance".
There may be terms here you have never heard of before, as they have fallen to the wayside. There may be activities you do not agree with (there is at least one I know of), but I am presenting the list as it was in those days. Some of the terms are cringy today. We were not as enlightened back in the mid 90s as we are today. But in preserving the history, I decided to keep it as it was.
Some of these terms have changed over the years: if you need definition for those days, let me know and I will provide.
Enjoy!

I find it so utterly hilarious to find myself blocked by someone for simply liking their profile.
Being a voyeur pervert, I liked reading people's profiles here and on Fet. I find them windows into their world and why they find BDSM so captivating. Sometimes it is humorous, other times it is heartbreaking. Still other times, it is nothing but a void.
Those that I find interesting, I will like. The profile tells me a story, good or bad. I especially will like profiles that are well written. To me, a like is simply a "Good job!" and I wish them well.
The chance I am going to write them a message is vanishing small. While I have made some good friends across the world though the message system here, I don't go out of my way to message everyone. If I do, it is to clarify something on their profile or checklist (I have a copy of the old Castle Realm checklist, which I use to test people. You would be amazed on how well it works).
I understand women on here need a defense from unwelcome predators and don't get upset when they use it on me. It is their right and there is a reason the function exists. Nor do I suggest they should give me a chance. As I said, the chance I am going to message is small.
But really? Blocked after a simple like? I didn't realize I was that scary.

As I wait for various tools and materials to arrive, I thought I would spend a moment to discuss my basic philosophy on the D/s lifestyle.
For me, what it all boils down to is the idea that s types need to submit to someone. They have a need to give power of themselves to someone else (for discussion purposes, I am boiling things down to a one on one relationship). Be it mental, emotional or simply physical reasons, they find the need to turn over control to another to make themselves feel complete.
For this to happen, there has to be somone on the other side of the collar. Thus enters the Dominant (yes there are other terms, but see discussion purposes above). For most, this seems rather obvious, but sometimes the obvious is rather ignored. After all, what good is a Dom without somone to submit to them? Is it just a person with an ego screaming orders at a wall?
My personal philosophy is to be a real Dom, one must inspire submission, not take it.
Any fool can force, or attempt to, submission from another. However, only a few can inspire s types to really give of themselves to another. By building trust, though actions or discussion or being an example, can real submission be created.
