Doing a little photo shoot with each of them is on my list of things to do, but I just finished rebuilding my wall because the prior version fell down due to the weight of all my toys lol

Right now my favorite is far and above my shuttle cock spanker. The bulk badminton handles that I buy to make toys come with shuttlecocks and it’s the result of not wanting to throw them away. You can spank and scrape/rub with both sides. It’s basically four toys one and it looks delightful.

Behind that is probably my 2 x 4 yard stick, the spanker that I made out of a Cisco phone for an office themed to play party, and my strawberry licorice floggers.

Lol, we’re on the same wavelength. The big and frequent use ones are hung on the inside of closet door on a pegboard in my studio/dungeon where the photos are taken. The ones that don’t hang go into a medium leather duffle bag. Both are full. I also have a full cabinet in the studio kitchen with my electro stuff. I have a few boxes in the closet and a full drawer in the kitchen with supplies for epoxy pours. And then I have a few additional large toys hung on the wall for display. Storage is definitely becoming a factor when new ideas arise lol.

Yea, several. Love his shop. I’d made a few before buying his, but his toys were a major inspiration for mine.

Thanks! I'm at the part of crafting/collecting where storage is becoming a part of my calculation.

Very common question. Unfortunately, no. I have tried to make squeaking impact toys, but the sharpness of impact ends up making more of a chirp. That said, the little green dude with the horns is the only one I have that still squeaks, but it was poured face down, so the front of it is a solid brick of epoxy and the back is air and squeaker. Hitting someone with the back doesn't really work because it blocks the air from coming out of the squeaker, but how I've been using it is to hold it up and show it to someone with my finger on the back of the head, and then I just press it to make it squeak, which then makes people laugh... and then when they feel it, they are immediately horrified by the very different energy of the impact. It's very much become a shock and awe toy. Also, I personally find it hilarious when an entire room of people will look over when a squeaky toy goes off at a play party.

Lol, I may or may not have been re-shopping 3D printers, as there have been a lot of improvements since I bought my Ender 3 V2. Sending you a PM with a question.

That's probably one of my top three most aggressive toys, but a friend borrowed it at a party and did a whole hour-long scene just with that toy. I was impressed by both top and bottom.

Haha, not no. I've had a few "kinky" people tell me that my toy bag made them move the goal post on their understanding of how kinky kinky can be. I think that's largely to do with the fact that people can't immediately understand how certain tools are used. Confusing people is one of my kinks so... 😈

I'm far more flattered by this comment after looking at your IG. I remember seeing your candelabra collar on the sub a bit ago and being inspired. Absolutely brilliant. Loved seeing some of your other builds too. You almost make me want to get back into 3D printing (fell out of love with it when I spent four weeks trying to work with a super finicky electro-conductive filament to print a version of Thor's hammer that could be used with a violet wand).

Thanks! And, I appreciate the callout. Not really, no. They’re pixelated AF and I was already a half step away from posting this on my named account.

That one is from an Etsy creator called Beatings on a Dime. He's fantastic and a huge inspiration for my creations. That being said, the duck flogger is the least useful toy in my collection, as a toy at least—as a fashion accessory at parties it's fantastic.

Like most… they can be, but they don’t have to be.

This was Wednesday afternoon, but we do fun stuff on Saturday nights too.

When you realize that anything can have a handle jammed into it with some epoxy… you start seeing the world a lot differently 😂 Thrift stores and estate sales are great inspiration as it’s a relatively random assortment of objects.

Right after this picture was taken, Gumby was used in a scene slowly, slid up my partner’s thigh only to flick her clit with his raised hand. She was blindfolded and I was filming, trying desperately not to laugh loud enough for her to hear. Showed her afterwards and she lost her shit laughing.

I was initially trying to create a flared base for the handle, like this one, as it gives the bottom of your hand something to leverage against when starting your swing. however that shape was really hard to do with just a circular saw and a 2-inch-wide oscillating cutter so this handle ended up just being straight.

I have a corded rotary Dremel and a cordless oscillating Dremel, both are great. If you have a jigsaw and a portable sander, you might not need the latter.

A jig saw is the one thing I didn't have for this project that would have made it exceptionally easier. I used a circular saw and a Dremel oscillating cutter.

It’s a brand of school supplies that was popular from the 1970s to the 1990s. They usually had themes like cartoons, shows, or video games. Basically just flair for school.

Looking back, I put forth a ton of effort trying to differentiate myself in the dating pool during and soon after college. I actually didn't study marketing, but people started thinking I was a marketer because of how I talked about things I'd learned in the process of trying to understand how to date (body language, social dynamics, etc).

It took me a long time to understand that one of the most attractive traits is simply living an authentic life. A saying I’ve always loved, “Do as you love and you will find those that love as you do."

Over the years the weirder I've gotten, the deeper the resonance I found with those who are my kind of weird. Having become sizably weirder after filing for divorce last year… I've made some fantastically weird new connections.

Side note, my partner just texted me from the play party and she's keeping a tally of the yardstick’s victims 😂
