Male humbler
I am looking to make a male humbler, but cannot find any dimensions on the web. Does anyone have the required dimensions which would allow me to make one ? This is my very first post and hope I have placed it in the correct place.
Thanks and hello all

Re: Male humbler
well, you could probably measure the circumference of your balsac yourself,
and the length needed for the humbler to be logded in by your thighs.

Re: Male humbler
as the above post links to an earlier thread, I won't repeat what I put there 
An off-the-shelf version costs around £25 in the UK, making one is pretty simple if you have a fret-saw or similar, plus a few other simple tools. I started making one but nearly burnt out my band-saw trying to cut curves with too wide a blade! - gave up, still have the marked-up pieces of hardwood, might get back to it one day

Re: Male humbler
I don't have a humbler, although it is on the to to list. Here is a ball crusher to give some idea where to start with the opening dimensions.
You can make adjustments for your own needs. As Ponylady mentioned in her post, since you are building a custom model, most of the measurements will come from you.
As a note, take care of the pinch factor while tightening
Might help to build a couple short sample blocks and try them out.
For the final product, use a strong piece of lumber with the grain in the proper direction. You would not want it to break at the weak point in the center with the sensitive bits in between.
In the attached image, the opening is 2 inches by 5/8 inch at the widest points.
The graph paper is 1/4 inch squares for reference (take into account the camera perspective)
This was a first pass for me and I believe the opening could be a bit smaller in the short dimension, Maybe a 1/2 inch or even 3/8?
(Someday I'll finish it with some stain and a water based polyurethane finish.)

Thanks you all, think that gives me a starting point.
