Back when I was shooting mostly bondage, my studio setup was pretty spare. The stage was a homemade workbench padded by a folded Pendleton blanket, which was all covered by duvatine. The background was black paper mounted on a Bogen holder with the sides and wall covered by more hung duvatine. There's nothing fancy there. No contraptions for suspension or custom-made spanking chairs or any of that.

So a few days before I was scheduled to shoot Little Robin for the third or fourth time I figured I needed something new or it would just be a rerun of an earlier shoot. I went down to Home Depot and bought one of the tall sawhorses. Brought it to the studio, painted it grey and put some ring bolts through the feet.

It fit nicely on the stage and was stable, though there wasn't a lot of manuever room left. This new prop gave me a few more options. The model could be belly-down longitudinally or laterally, facing the camera or facing away.

So I used the sawhorse for five or six models, then when it became a problem to store with the growing stable of motorcycles and I was backing away from bondage, I pulled the ring bolts off and set it outside for some lucky scavenger to take.

Models are Tyler, top, and Little Robin, bottom. Well, they're both bottoms...
