For the crafty guys out there here are the demensions of the unit. I need B1 to help a bit with the instructions but I hope this helps. Anyone making one please contribute your stretching ideas so I can add them to the site.

Thanks

DLD
 
B1, What is the thickness of the board? 3/4 or thicker? ASh is a closed grain wood, oak is strong but you surely might get splinters...whew....GS
 
This shouldn't be too hard to make if you've got the right tools. ;)

Luckily my uncle is a handy man and has all sorts of power tools maybe I'll borrow some of his to make one.

All jokes aside Jen and me have had indepth conversation about what Bob's dick looks like. We came to the final conclusion that it is long and thin with a big purple helmet the size of Jughead's.:p

Yep, I'd say your right there.

It should be 3/4". If you look at the circle in the middle, it is 3" dia hole with the outer dia of 4 1/2". So the remaining material on each side is 3/4". The overall thickness wouldn't need to be anymore.

Do they have ash at Lowes?

Ash, the wood we use, is hard to get a hold of (a big reason for some of the delays in production) but oak is a worthy substitute.
 
I recently made my own [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]power assist[/words], I really like the stretch you can get with it. I made it from red oak, It came out a little crude but works great.
Cost of materials...
6"x1"x5' board of read oak=$9.00
2 gig saw blades=$2.00
variety of sandpaper single sheets=$2.00
time to make=about 1 1/2 hours design and breaks included.
if I ever need another I still have 40" of read oak left.
I'll post pic but sorry for the poor quality I only have a scanner and a crappy image host.

Very nice work! Did you go by the plans or did you modify?
 
I followed your plans but had to guess on some measurements like the hand grip width and outer ring taper into the handle. but I've done stuff like this for years and the drafting experience also helped so It was pretty easy. Thanks for the great design DLD. DLD do you use one yourself? I find it works best for side to side stretch and tunica stretch but I've just started, if I think of any new stretches I'll make a diagram.

I use mine each and everyday, I would be lost without it. Nothing accents manual stretching like a [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]Power Assist[/words]. There is only so much intensity my hands can produce and the fulcrum action of the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]PA[/words] makes intensity limitless.
 
I installed wood floors for awhile and I know that the REAL wood that is installed in peoples homes is 3/4 inches thick. So the way cheaper route to get ash is to just go to a flooring supply store and it should only cost $5.00 max to get one plank.

And if your pretty slick you can probably just ask to get a sample to show your wife or something. But IMHO I would spring for brazilian cherry it's a extremely dark and hard wood and it would be cool to say that you have a [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]power assist[/words] made out of it. BTW Brazilian cherry is one of the most expensive floors to lay down.

Oh yeah and ask for the plank not the strip as the strip's height is not 4.5 inches.
If you live in Houston I can point you in a good direction.

Maybe I can try to get 100 samples before the third run ;)
 
Only 100?! rofl

This slipped my mind earlier but a great nationwide source for wood floors for rock bottom prices is Lumber Liquidators.

:O Whoaaa I see they have Brazilian Walnut....sweet. If you notice they have the planks with the height of 5". But unfortunately their samples would cost at least $12.00. So this site would probably only interest DLD.

So once again the cheapest route would be your closest flooring store or wood miller. :cool:

Bear in mind though that the wood is 3/4 inches thick which leaves no margin of error using the above diagram unless you plan to make the P.A. a bit slimmer. But using a harder wood then oak, like cherry or walnut, you should have no problem!
