Hi everyone,

Looking to make a basic spreader bar to play around with in the bedroom. Just decided on a basic 1 inch x 48 inch dowel rod for now. If it's fun I'll look into a more polished one.

Anything I should add to this one besides a coat of paint and an eye hook on each end?
 
Hm. Personally, I wouldn't trust it to handle the shear load. Screw-in eye bolts aren't designed for forces at angles greater than 45° from their axis. If it has to be wood, I'd drill a hole through the rod and use an eye bolt with a nut. Granted, it isn't as elegant-looking.

That was my other thought. I may do the ones on the end and then the eye bolts at 36 inches to be safe.
 
I made one out of aluminum. Works great. Center eyebolt to attach to the headboard. 2 eyebolts on each side, 1 for feet, other for hands. We both enjoy the hell out of it.
 
You would, I like leather cuffs that can be attached. I tend to jerk around a lot.
Lol... likewise.
I had to buy some stainless steel shackles, as I've broken/separated every D-Ring type of restraint we own.

I'm truly blessed, that it gets that intense!

Note the head bowed submissive stance. Beautiful!!!

One can make an adjustable-length bar using metal spring clips and electrical conduit with holes drilled through it every few inches.
 
I'd use a length of 3-4cm diameter bamboo, with strong jute or hemp twine loops lashed onto it.

Just my aesthetic and my DIY spirit. Also adjustable in case the loop positions need to be changed.
