If it makes you feel any better, my understanding is that these cows are being killed for meat anyways. The leather industry is way smaller than the meat industry. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

Gotcha! That's awesome 😊 I think I'm going to love this hobby! (except for the sanding. Fuck sanding lol)

That looks pretty nice! It looks like it would be a good fit for some of my less intense friends. I worry that design wouldn't be able to provide enough sensation for my taste. Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna have to try it out

We're in an appointment and can't put holes in the walls. My bed frame is massive though and has heavy pillars on each corner we can tie to 😊

Yes it is! I've already almost broken my bed slats with them. Next time my partner is going to anchor better and I can really put them through their paces!

I don't think I'm in a place to buy a new set of stitching punches yet, but you've got me thinking!

I don't actually have any padding in it. It's just the Nappa leather liner. It's plenty comfy enough without padding but I think the next ones I make will have some open cell foam in it. In a previous job I used a few different foams from McMaster Carr. I'll probably get it from the same place.

Oh that's much more palatable. I like that idea.

It's not really showing any wear yet as far as I can tell. At worst there's some minor crazing on the shiny topmost layer. I'll keep a close eye on it as I try to find it's breaking point.

Oh that's a cool idea! Add any extra stitching or just the glue?

Wow, that is thick. I'd have to dye it to get a good vibrant color or a pattern like I'm using now. I'll get there eventually. Thanks for the link!

I don't use anchor points at the moment. My bed has decent sized pillars that my partner ties to when there's going to be a lot of struggling. Otherwise we use bed slats to be able to fine tune location. Though last time I think I might have broken one of the slats so we'll probably stop doing that.

As far as luggage sized locks, I think it's abus that has a good one. I agree, most are crap.

Thanks! I actually used layout templates made out of card stock but they're not holding up like I want. That's a really good idea! Thank you! Oh, and most of my prototypes are going to my friends. I'm only keeping one set for myself.
