I'll repost these from my other thread. [:)]
I've found a modeling compound called Friendly Plastic to be a very useful thing. After you melt the pellets you can sculpt it into almost anything you can think of. Merely put it into cold water for it to cool and harden. If you make a mistake, or get tired of it, merely put it back in boiling hot water and start over. It's very hard when cooled. It makes dildos fairly well as well as other things.
Another favorite of mine is PVC pipe. It's inexpensive and you can construct almost anything with it.
My late husband loved Vinyl, so I found some clear seethrough vinyl at our local Walmart. It was easy to sew and made a good pair of seethrough pants. I also made him a harness and collar as well. I made a small flogger for me to use. :)
Liquid Latex is fun to play with as well. I used to make theatrical masks for costumes. I found that if you poured the liquid latex into a cheap baking pan with sides, that when it cures you can cut it into strips. After they finish totally curing, you powder the ends of the strips and tie the other ends together to make a flogger. The unpowdered ends stick together well.
Ok, Things I've done so far, vanilla style.
1) made a pipeline to fill up my son's blow up pool during the summer. Why? Because the apartment complex we live in doesn't have outside the apartment. It worked very well. I attached it to the sink spicket.
2) A child's pipe construction set. Lowes, our local hardware store, cut the pipes up in the size I requested. This service is normally free. Then I merely purchased the pipe connectors. A very cheap building set. Just make sure you check all the pipe ends and sandpaper off any rough edges.
Something I saw at Walmart
If you look in the kid's section of Walmart, chances are you may have seen the "ball cage" there. It's very simple, thick pipe, and some bungy cords. They use them to hold basket balls, children's play balls, etc. I've even seen them hold stuffed animals.
Vanilla things I've made "blueprints" for, but haven't made, YET
When I was teaching preschool, I drew up a version of a ballpit. I had been talking to the director about making one for out classroom, but unfortunately, it never was done.
Anyways, my idea was to use PVC pipe, the connectors, and netting style material that can usually buy at your local fabric store. You simply construct a square, or rectangle, and then the netted fabric can be attatched to the sides to create walls so the balls don't go everywhere.
Non vanilla ideas
Someone had posted once about a cheap version of a cage. That would be easy enough to make up using PVC pipe. That would also depend on how strong you want the cage to be. If you have a sub or slave that doesn't rattle the cage too much, then the cheap 1 to 1/2 inch pipe would do.
If you needed a really strong cage, then the more expensive metal pipes would work as well with the right connectors.
Spacing bars
You could use the PVC to make inexpensive spacer bars. If you wanted them really strong, then you'd probably have to go with slightly thicker pipe.
I'll post the other ideas as soon as I recall them.

Almost forgot. When I was teaching, another teacher made a wonderful item called a "Plastic Bubble". It was very simple to make as well as use. The kid's loved it.
You need very heavy plastic for this and a decient sized fan. You'll also need duct tape. Sharp scissors are needed too.
She first constructed a tube by taping the plastic together. This tube will be attached to the fan in order to blow up the "room". She merely took the face part off the fan and then tapped on the plastic. There are other ways of doing it as well.
Anyways, She taped the plastic into a large square or rectangle bubble. She then taped that to the long tube she'd made first.
Next, you blow it up using the fan. Once filled you need to cut a small door for the person to enter. Always keep the fan going or the room will collapse.
Her's was made of clear plastic found at your local hardware store's gardening center, but you could use the solid black plastic as well. Just be aware of the outside temperature. You don't want anyone over heating.
I'm sure there are many things you could think of to use this bubble style cage
