RoughFN -> RE: home made equipment (1/8/2008 2:42:44 PM)

Home Depot is an amazing store. I did a triple take one time when I was in there when I discovered "cable cuffs". They're designed for collecting together cabling from a TV or computer or something to neaten it up, but they clearly look like a half a handcuff. Two of those + a couple of cable ties yield an extremely secure (albeit uncomfortable) set of handcuffs for < $6. When I shop at the Home Depot, they ask me for a job code and I give them "BD5M" if I'm buying craft equipment.
There are a couple of books on the subject. Kinkycrafts was okay. The projects varied from silly and overly simple to beyond my level of abilities at the time. The Better Built Bondage Book is very nice (their vacuum bed works quite quite well and was < $30 vs $300+ to buy one professionally made), but a little expensive. I'd recommend at least looking at both books. If the projects catch your interest, then they're well worth the investment. If not, they'll still give you ideas.
Wanting to build my own gear is what finally got me into carpentry and woodworking a few months back. It's something I'd thought about doing for years, but never had the space or money before; or a good clear reason. But now I've snapped up PVC pipe parts and lumber and am having a grand old time. Currently built items include a vacuum bed, "toy box" (for the girl, not equipment), basic platform, over the door restraints, and stockade.
A drill and a circular saw get you started. As you progress (if you enjoy it), a jigsaw, miter saw, router, and table saw are good to pick up (among other things that I haven't gotten to yet). Honestly, it's really amazed me how simple it is to build your own equipment. Admittedly, I'm nowhere near professional level yet, but I'm just starting out. And in just a few months of dinking around I've gotten the hang of an awful lot awfully quickly.
Once you've gotten some basic materials and plans and tried things out to get a little comfortable, the best thing I've found is just to go walk through your local hardware stores. Go up and down every aisle. It's amazing what you can pervert in all different sections. Plumbing, electrical, lumber, tools, and so on. All of it can be used for nasty purposes.
And as soon as you know how to use your tools and are looking at the raw materials with an eye towards kink, the ideas just start flowing. Right now I'm stuck not building anything since my workshop is in my unheated garage, but as soon as spring hits I've drawn up my own plans for a better toy box, suspension rig (well, 3 different suspension rigs), shower stall, spanking bench, coffin, and a few other things that I'm sure I'm forgetting right now. Most of those all I need to buy are screws and lumber and should all be pretty cheap and easy to assemble.
heh, my girl told me about the time she went into farm & fleet and bought a few riding crops + a lot of heavy rope + a few other questionable items along those lines. The cashier did give her a few curious looks.
Tying it back to your requests about CBT equipment, those cable cuffs I'd mentioned could work well (they even come in various sizes, you can string 'em together for a homemade gates of hell), you can buy metal O and D rings easily enough at a lot of hardware stores. A few small pieces of wood + some long screws and butterfly nuts and you end up with a crusher. Appropriately sized PVC pipe angled downward and you have a chastity device.
Seriously, go walk up and down every aisle in your local hardware store and look at everything while thinking "Okay, how can I put my dick in this/be bound up in it/injure myself with that." Once you change your mindset, the ideas should really start flowing.
