Self build design and development

what price range would we be looking for a commission? if your more comfortable talking in DM. thats fine too.

 

@Missyp could you share a little bit about your technique for bending and forming the parts? did you use any kind of press brake, or some other fixture?

or just all by hand? I'd like to try fabricating my own 2-4mm thick steel "ergo" waistband but not sure what the best tools for the job would be.

 

You do realise that you've embarked on the work of a lifetime?

 

What alloy of steel did you use? I would think 316 stainless steel would be best but may be hard to work with. Tig welding or perhaps brazing the metal together seems to be a good method of construction. Nice work, please keep us informed as to your progress.

 

Thank you for the information, the system looks very good.

 

Well done and for sharing missyp

 

What kind of hardware are you using to house the padlock? Looks like it was designed especially for a belt.

 

Impressive!

 

How is this work going?

 

Amazing workmanship. I’m on the fence of ordering a neosteel or attempting something like this myself, I have high mechanical abilities from my line of work and the tooling needed, looking to build a much more permanent solution than my current my-steel.

 

You can look into using silicone (I think? I dunno) foam padding like Carrara does, it's much more generous with sizing since you have more material to work with, and you can shave down the foam if need be. I'm not sure about the glue type though, you'd have to do some research on that.

 

This is a great piece of work. The finish is much better than anything I have managed.

You say you are making it with 3 mm sheet. That should feel very secure. Personally I love the feeling that I really cannot get out without the keys. If anyone doubts that it would be very difficult to get out of such a device, read this - https://www.chastityforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=18744&start=10 .

With your design, you could apply bolt cutters or a saw to the hasp of the lock. You might want this as a safety measure, but if you want maximum security, you could have the lock hasp shrouded. This is my design.

The lock pin attached to the belt has a notch cut in the top. When the lock is locked onto the lock shroud the hasp engages with the notch so it cannot come off the pin. There is no gap between the top of the lock body and bottom of the shroud. I used an Abus padlock type 54TI/30 padlock, which has a shorter shackle than most. There should be no room to get a saw in anywhere. Unfortunately mine has been altered in various experiments, so it is not such a good fit. The lock cannot rattle and it cannot be turned to point upwards either, which makes picking attempts more difficult.
