The Y-Chair

Hello pervy people! This post is a reply to one of my FetLife friends who asked about the Y-chair project I made a long, long time ago (I'm thinking sometime around 2002). This Y-chair was my first attempt at making a piece of bondage furniture, and the idea was initially to have something to anchor a girl wearing the F-suit to (which curiously enough never happened). I wanted something that could hold the legs apart, and allow the waist and torso to be completely strapped down. Immobilization with access. 

It ended up being a prop in a photo shoot we did with the amazing Darby, back when I was working with Gnjal of RavensWalk fame (an amazing photographer and all-around creative genius). He took these two pictures of Darby looking fabulous all strapped down. 

The whole thing is on wheels, so once she's buckled in you can move her wherever you like. The legs of the upholstered pad weren't connected with screws, so you could get straps right up close to her crotch. It worked beautifully. 
 These mid-construction photos show some different angles. I didn't have a table saw at the time, so the angled cuts were a bit challenging, but overall I was pretty happy with how it turned out. It's a very sexy piece, and looked great with an armbinder/hood combo and lots of straps. I always loved the shape of the small waist and curvy hips. If I had to do it again today, I'd make some kind of accommodation for supporting or restraining the head. 

Unfortunately, due to a lack of storage space, I had to get rid of it a few years ago - so I gave it away to one of my friends in the bondage industry. But I still see it being used in various productions made by different people from time to time. It's well-built of quality materials, so it should last a long time! Have a happy life, Y-chair...

  1. Great idea, and it would look absolutely fantastic with the f-suit, shame it didn't happen (or at least, yet? lol)

    1. It's true, thisgirl... I would love to take another crack at it someday. I have ideas for several furniture/suit combinations that I plan to realize.

  2. OMG, is there something you can't do? You are a great leathercrafter, designer, illustrator, photographer, and now even woodcrafter. There MUST be something you are not great at, please, tell me at least you can't cook or something like that.

  3. Thanks for the comment... I do cook and clean too, but everything is relative. My grandpa built his house from scratch, and also many boats over his lifetime, including a 40-foot cabin cruiser. I think I got my "do-it-yourself" gene from him.

  4. I remember seeing it in the set Serious Bondage did with Mya that also showed off the first Butterfly Jacket, a sleepsack and the F-suit.

    It opened up a lot of possibilities.

    1. Hey Mauser,
      You are right, I think that shoot was the first time it was seen in public. A long time ago now!
