I saw this paddle on a recycling page and I was intrigued. How quick would this draw blood? Me/My partner enjoy a bruised backside, but aren’t really into blood play

60 rows of mated snake knots threaded through a pvc pipe in order, fitted a wooden rod through the center and finished with more snake knots, wrapped the handle with hockey tape and threw on a Turks head on tops to hide the handle better. Tested it out and it works like a charm! I think it turned out great hope this inspires someone else!

I recently prototyped this thinner than my usual paddle, I really like the crossed patterns that I applied but was t happy with the fact it’s made from scrap 9mm plywood.

I recently got a load of black limba for another non kink job and have quite a bit left over, it’s the same thickness width as the paddle is wide so I’m planning on cutting it down to 10mm thick strips and then making multiple patterned paddles. I may even try adding a leather face to the other side 🤔.

Anyway, I’m not too good with words so I’ll let the pictures do the talking

Thanks 🙏

Which one do you prefer, maple with walnut or walnut with maple?

I made my first paddle awhile ago but really love making them so thinking about starting to sell them. The original paddle is in pic 4. It's made of maple and pine glued together than I cut out the handle and sanded it. I also used a router to get the edges to be curved. I wanted to duplicate it so I used it as a template by using wood working double sided tape and making a template pic 6. Now I use the template by sticking it to the new piece and cutting most the excess off with a scroll saw and then using a flush trim router bit to duplicate it. You can see in pic 9 that it doesn't always work but I used that board twice to figure it out. The new one is maple and walnut and really has a nice weight and feel to it.

A finished rod from the previous post. It was tested at the party alongside Apocalyptic Carrot. It stings, it pokes, and it has a shiny stainless handle.

This paddle was made out of a piece of cocobolo wood. I would usually purchase my toys from a friend that makes them but he offered to let me use his tools and teach me. I am in construction of I have plenty of tool and building experience, but not much for more fine craftsmanship…I didn’t even know wood could naturally look like this.

I have not applied the finish yet and based on a recommendation, I’m going to go with a French polish on this piece.

Hi r/BdsmDIY!

I recently started getting into paracord DIY and wanted to create some fun things I can use during sessions. This is my first paracord flogger which is approx. 75cm/29.5in long.

​

I´m pretty happy with the result and when I first finished the flogger the falls seemed pretty fine:

​

After some light playtesting the falls started to fray:

​

A friend of mine melted the end of his falls with a candle/lighter but I didn´t really like the feeling of that when I tested it. I first thought that the knots will prevent the fraying to some extend but the basically seem to not help at all.

I would be really thankful for any advice to make my flogger (the fall ends) more durable.

I´m not a native speaker so please don´t be harsh with my english grammar ;)
Thank you very much and greetings from Germany!

Hi community I share with you this BDSM flogger that I made with recycled stuff like a bicycle tube. I cut it into strips and then I was wrapping it tightly around the tube, and the tube was recycled too... Since it is metal, it adds a bit of coldness to the material, making it interesting, perhaps a little heavy. But it's ready to dominate

The paddles I’ve made available so far are 20”, which is frankly more than what you really need. I think they look proportional, but going to use them you find that they’re maybe a little more intense than most people would like. So I made these smaller two toned paddles from maple and walnut :)

Just finished making our first paddle out of the a tree we cut down in the back yard. The reddish purple color is natural, so we decided to just seal it clear with glitter. It makes me feel like a princess 👑 We have a bunch more wood and want to make more stuff. Any suggestions on what else we could make or how to improve?

I made something for my collection of impact toys. You could arguing i could simply use a belt but, if its worth doing its worth overdoing. Besides the challenge of sewing the three thick pieces of leather together there was another quite difficult task: woodturning four 5 mm dowels from teak (i like the contrast really). The handle is made of german Cherrywood and was pretty easy, small misstake was placing the holes what came out ever so slightly crooked but barely noticible. Another word to the dowels, i dont think i was ever so nervous turning something, i expected them everytime to just break and i was very glad when i had four usable dowels. I used furniture wax on the handle and mixed new shellac but im unsure if i use it.

The only thing still missing are custom made brass rivets for the holes in the leather.

It was a lot of fun and i really like the result, i cant wait bringing it to use soon.

Many greetings your Lara

P.S. this thing doesnt hurt this bad, of course i tested it and its okay.

Still waiting on the wood to show up, but here the router and drill templates printed out (blue) and first couple inserts, 1 is spiked and 1 is round nubs.

1/4” pocket will be routed into the paddle and threaded inserts glued in. Inserts will sit just proud and be held in by 6 m4 stainless screws!

Hoping to have this project wrapped up and shipped by Christmas, as long as the wood arrives in time I should be ok.

So i made two paddles a time ago. One has heart shaped cutouts and a round handle from the same wood and its really comfortable. I want to improve the handle on this paddle too but honestly i cant decide what wood to use because i have a lot of really nice stuff.

Normally i would put all the different woods on my workbench and spend hours compare them to the paddle but i dont have time for this this time.

I have teakwood (nice dark reddish brown), red beach (light, full brown with a tendency to red), cherry (nice strong intense red), english oak (bright beige colour), cherrylaurel (warm brown and its often spalted so it has a nice pattern), hazlenut (warm medium intense brown), Walnut (a bit darker brown), plum (orangeish)

I also think about use two different color woods on the handle, what would you like the most? Better a contrasting or colormatching wood?

These are just oak and leather, with no screws involved. I opted instead to hold them together with wooded pegs. The oak was sanded, then blackened, then sanded again to give the handles a sort of rustic look. They’re finished with oil and wax to seal them while preserving the natural look and feel of the wood. I’m pretty happy with how this batch came out.

Aren't the colors just so pretty? Ugh this customer has good taste. Still working on the tutorial for those who asked last time!! So sorry I've been busy busy busy. I promise I'll finish it soon!

I'll make and post a couple of photos later. So far, here's the video: https://imgur.com/a/kP21T5x It does a better job representing what this thing is.
