DIY BDSM Furniture
DIY BDSM furniture exists in a spectrum from genuinely safe (a simple spanking bench from hardwood) to genuinely dangerous (homemade suspension frames from lumber store supplies).

Safe DIY Projects
A simple spanking bench made from 4×4 hardwood posts, 2×6 connecting pieces, and commercial vinyl padding is within DIY capability. All joints should be bolted with 3/8-inch carriage bolts, not screwed. Expected material cost: $80–150. Build time: 4–8 hours.
Approach with Caution
Saint Andrew's Crosses can be built safely from 2×6 hardwood but require precise geometry for stability. The base must extend at least 18 inches from the upright on all sides. Restraint attachment points must be bolted through the full thickness of the wood.
Do Not DIY
Suspension-rated points and anything designed to support a suspended person should not be DIY unless you have structural engineering knowledge. The forces involved exceed what most DIYers can calculate safely.
