Seeking Ideas to Create that perfect Dungeon - 4/13/2005 3:40:16 PM

Hello

I plan to convert the basement of my building into a dungeon.

I'm looking for any advice, creative ideas on how to set it up. From what should be there: some crosses, spanking benches, but what else etc. How much play space is needed per station etc to how to set some ceiling hooks for secure and safe suspention.

For reference, I estimate the space available is 18ft wide X 35ft lenght X 8FT height

Secondly, are there any kinky trademen (or women) who do good work that you can recommend. (Location is downtown Toronto, Canada)

Thanks for your help

When putting together furniture or fittings, most especially suspension fittings,
"Over-engineering" should be your key word.

This involves things like estimating the maximum weight you might want to suspend,
then doubling it. Then calculate the strength needed for all the fittings - think "weakest link" -
and double that...
Now, don't forget that people in suspension may not keep still, so they will be bouncing up and down or side to side... this means sudden "shock loads", greatly in excess of their static weight.. so double all the numbers again... I'm sure you get the idea by now... :-)

Don't expect ordinary wall studs or ceiling joists to provide adequate support... fit well-secured "pads" inside the wall, or roof space... and use heavier material and fittings than you can ever imagine needing...
(Go and take a look at a construction site, see what they make walls and ceilings out of... see why they don't take the load?? :-)

You also need to consider how you're going to get people loose in a hurry, if an emergency arises.
Look into "panic-snaps" and the like, but make sure they can be released under tension.
A handy item to look at is a "spinnaker snap"... we use them on sailing boats, for a quick-release of sails under, literally, tons of tension.

Unless you're very sure of what you're doing, get a professional to do it for you.
Look at it this way... unless YOU would feel safe hanging head-down over a concrete floor in it, don't ask anyone else to... (The best rigger I ever met, did just that at the beginning of each evening's use)

regards
K

There is a yahoo group, I think, called HomemadeBDSM and I have got some great ideas there. You will have to do a search because I do not want to...LOL...to find it. I have not looked at it in awhile. If you want, email me and I will get you a link to it in the next few days.

Searching for "eros furniture factory" produces a big fat goose egg. Can you provide a working link?

A grope box.
all you need is one coffin with holes cut out at strategic places ... and there you go .. one grope box.

Sadly, Eros Boutique isn't one of them. They're just a reseller.
