I love wearing a humbler. I built a simple one many years ago. 2 dowel rods with a bolt with a wing nut on each end $1.50. Mine isn't curved, so it probably wouldn't work for men with a really tight sac. The advantage of having a straight one is that you can also put it in front of your legs.

One thing I used to do was put it in front, and then sit down so that my balls were forced more or less straight up. Then my partner would sit on my lap crushing my balls as we watched TV, or a movie or something.

tag,
What diameter dowel rods did you use for yours? Mine is made with 1/2" diameter oak dowel rods and Mistress uses velcro strips to attach it in place. I've wondered if doing something similar to what you've done with larger diameter dowel rods and either sanding or carving, even chiseling perhaps?, then sanding it smooth, (I don't have a lot of woodworking tools) would provide similar security and convenience to the more expensive models that are made & sold for a lot more money. The one thing we've noticed is that what I've made doesn't support the scrotum in the way many of the larger models seem to as shown in the catalog photos on various web sites; allowing it to my scrotum to drop instead of forcing it to stay elevated and extend more or less straight back.

Sadly, I have the skills to do the work, just not the right woodworking tools. It seems a shame to pay $150.00 + when I could make it myself for far less.

Mistress really does enjoy playing with the one I've made for us.

Perhaps the question is what could one do if limited to using a rotary power saw, various hand saws, wood chisels, a power drill, hand sander (non power), and say a wood rasp? Any thoughts on improvements once could make without spending hundreds of hours?

tag,

I used 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 I'm not positive which. The next one I make I will use a thicker dowel, because the thicker the dowel the more secure the balls will be. The only tools I had were a handsaw and a power drill. I cut 18-inch lengths of Dowel, then I drilled a hole on each end of one. Then I used that one as a guide to drill holes through the 2nd. I had to drill the holes at 3/8" and use a 1/4" bolt because otherwise it would bind, and not slide. I'm no woodworker; I just go for simple and effective.

I also made one with a crusher.

PS. My design may not work for someone with really tight balls.

With dowel rods of that large a diameter, one could skive flats on the rods and then create oval openings as with regular humblers, perhaps solving the problem I was describing.

Just so you don't weaken the rods too much. I used cheap softwood dowels, and I don't think they could stand all that much weakening. If you pay a bit more ($.50), you might find somethings stronger that could handle it. I would stick to wood, though. My first try was with PVC pipe. It didn't work at all.

The one with the ball crusher is absolutly the best. However, the previous poster's comments about being able to stand in them is absolutly correct. All the better though, you can make them do things while in the humbler, and there is no "I can't stand" excuse.

Pixel,
You pretty much have the tools you need to make just about anything you want. I am in a similar situation and am going to make a set of humblers out of either oak or maple, whichever i can get my hands on for less money. The only additional tool that i have is a Dremmell. i highly recomend one. especialy if space is limmited. They are very versitle and not that expensive

Ahhh Dremel Tools! I remember always wanting one of those as a kid when I was into making 1/24th scale model slot cars.

They always seemed quite expensive back then, but they really are much less so now. Those portable grinders, sanders and cutting heads would be quite versatile for adding details that could come in quite handy. Will have to look into adding one of those to my arsenal.

I do have limited space to work with and that is part of the issue for me. But I do enjoy those kinds of projects when I have time.

The previous humbler I'd made with Oak dowels worked well, except it doesn't have any cutout for bloodflow to the scrotum. With the larger diameter dowel rods, or even using 1" x 2" pieces of hard wood hinged vertically with a cut-out, I was thinking something along those lines might work better than what I've made without the expense of the folding models; albeit perhaps not as sturdy than that design. But with a dremel tool, I believe I could make a folding model and fashion the oval cut-out and custom fit the curvature for behind the thighs just the same.

Thanks for the input!

In it's simplest form,

2 long dowels and then 2 shorter ones inbetween to enable bloodflow to the balls.

Oh, I see what you are worried about. I just used a few washers as spacers. The other thing you can do with a design like mine is to not tighen it all of the way. I just tighten the wing nuts to the point where the hold the balls in place. Crushing the sack wouldn't serve a purpose.

|-----------------------------|
[]                                 []             <- Bolt heads

I used round headed bolts. When I first assembled it, I tightened down the nuts really, really hard to suck the heads into the wood (without my testicle in it). It worked really well with the softwood dowels I used. If you were trying to use hardwood, it might be harder to set bolts into it. The washers I added to help keep it from tilting. I want it to tighten like = not like < or >. Since you tighten each side individually it really wasn't a problem.

I can't fully stand in my humbler. If I built another one, I might use thicker dowels to be more immobilized.

That's correct! Clearly you understand the problem I was encountering when velcro was used to tighten the rods against my scrotum.

Instead of round head bolts, I'd suggest using carriage bolts, especially in the case of hardwood (presumably oak) dowel rods. That would easily solve the problem of setting them, assuming you could drill the bolt head diameter if round or chisel the shape if hex; thus easily preventing them from rotating with the wingnuts.

Thanks for sharing your experience and ideas.

LOL! There's no doubt they're handy little tools! Hope the Dommes don't discover a use for them or I could be in serious trouble; particularly as mine is a sadist who gets the widest grin while giving pain!

A humbler made of oak, maple or some other hard wood should not break if the grain in the wood is running along the long dimension of the device.

If the uniit is two straight pieces of wood it makes it very dificult to stand up. If the unit has concave curves for the back of the thighs it is possible to crawl or even walk bent over depending on the amount of curve. In either case I have found it better to have a long tapered curve for enclosing the scrotum. This will alow crushing the scrotum down until it is almost flat without giving the wrong kind of pain.

If you replace the bolts on each end that are used to tighten up the unit on the scrotum with eyebolts and the attach a cuff to each eyebolt it makes for an easy solution to control an escape artist.

I have made and used both kinds and prefer the ones that let me walk around, but that is up to your Mistress. My Mistress liked the way I looked bent over with my hands pulled behing me.

I've got a humbler made from a poured plastic like material. The company that made them is no longer online but they can still be acquired, and the price wasn't near the $150 that I am hearing quoted for wooden ones.

As for the "but the sub can get out of them" - I'd just like to point out that is only true IF you leave the sub alone long enough to do such things. If you are relying on only this piece of equipment it won't be permanent bondage, but if you apply it in combination with other bondage, or with ongoing play, they are less likely to be working their way out of it.

And if they do get out of it, use the excuse to "punish" them in another way!

Thank you so much Mistress for the wonderful surprise.

I'm "humbled" by your gift of both the dremel tool and your domination. I'll be using the tools you were so thoughtful to provide to make a very fine humbler of red oak like the ones people see online.

I can hardly wait to get started and am greatly looking forward to completing it for you to use on me whenever you wish; experiencing the results of my labor.
