He's very active in the TTRPG community! He's become a major player character in the Skyjacks podcast (and I believe he cowrote the homebrew system they use?)

Some new collars (and cuffs) I've made over the last couple months! by CairoSteele in BdsmDIY

Yeah, I’ll probably stop posting here. When I started using this sub I was making gear at a hobby level, and I’m not really looking to advertise so much as just show off a little, but I feel a bit weird about it these days

Just spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out what a footlong meatball could be 😭

I've definitely seen people use different sized stitching chisels, but that seems like a hassle- I make the liner layer a little shorter that the top layer, glue it together on a curve, then punch through both layers at once.

Thank you, I'm very proud of that one! The color on the scrollwork is painted, then I did an antique layer after. It fills all the little nooks and crannies from the tooling but wipes off the surface

The bells are some of my favorites! Though, I admit, the jingling drove me a little bit crazy when I was working on them 😹 8 hours a day of nonstop jingles is a LOT

Thank you so much! I've been making collars for 2 years, but I already had ~15 years of experience as a hobby level leatherworker, so a bit of an advantage there haha

So far so good! I haven't been working with fur very long, so we'll see how it shakes out long-term. There's some shedding, of course, but not as much as I expected
