Spreader Bars Greetings of the Evening.. Lady Silken asked me to write to you after I spoke with her this evening and to tell you of the set of spreader bars I made not very long ago. I got a 7' length of 1" dowel from Lowes ($6.79) and a couple of packages of 3/4" screw eyes {1.29/pkg). I cut it into appropriate lengths, sanded the bumps and edges, drilled some holes for the screw eyes, and stained them to match my bedroom furniture. After letting them set and cure for a day or so I gave them a few good coats of polyurethane and now I have a very lovely matched set of five spreader bars that not only match each other, but match my bedroom furniture too. If one had the time, the equipment, and the inclination, I suppose the dowel could be run on a lathe, but then it might seem like Early American Bondage the chair-leg look... Lady Silken asked me to write and tell you of this. :) They're pretty, and I just don't have the kind of money that I'd need to make all the toys I would love to have. I also made a ring-gag the same day out of a steel ring and a couple of spring clips that I attached to some velvet strips and secured with velcro. Nothing like a bit of hand sewing knowledge to make life a lot teasier-ROFL! that was a typo, but it's totally accurate!! Copyright 1996-2007, The Frugal Domme |
