So I'm needing a few updates to my kink room.
They being -
1.) Stabilisation of St Andrew's cross.
- On the bottom
- On the top
- And adding eyelets to body
2.) Adding eyelets to Bench
St Andrew's Cross
Despite the cross being built sturdy it isn't the most stable as you know. Hence it needs to be secured both on the top and on the bottom.
I've included photos to help with the decision making process of how best to go forward.

On the bottom
The cross was built by myself and a friend, hence the bottom feet weren't really thought out well.
As you can see the feet aren't angled properly hence it can make it difficult to work with.

You can see there's little room to attach the hinges hence why the right side fell off. Looking back it really needed to be cut or straightened off first, yet when building the cross, it seems most are either heavily weighted ( which wasn't the portability I was after ) or secured off at the bottom - again with the portability. This isn't an issue now as the cross will only be moved every 4 - 6 months.
I haven't been able to find another alternative at Bunnings bedsides the hinges I already have.
Although ... I have tried to think outside the box.
Below is a hinge that I though might work until I see it will clash with the eyelet behind leg - which is there to add chain to the three legs so the cross doesn't open apart.
I was thinking about removing the pin then I could just drop the leg on top of the hinge and slide the pin through. Not sure how viable this is though.
I welcome your thoughts on this ....

Second option was to use a Hasp & Staple yet I'm not sure how secure this would be ? The whole idea is to secure the cross so it doesn't move. I have no doubt that it will hold but I feel that it might still have movement which isn't a great feeling when on a cross.

On the Top
The cross already has eyelets secured at the top which I used before, and would like to use again.
To do this I've bought attachments which add to the frame already as shown.

The issue being as you can see in second photo is that these attachments slide in on the side which we've held together, hence the unit needs to come apart to attach these then put back together.
A concern is will this effect the symmetry of the frame ? Will it be too wonky ? Do we need to add the same to the other side ?

Adding eyelets to the frame
We had a chat about adding eyelets to the frame - I suggested screws with some glue, yet you spoke of placing a rod.

I do only have 1.2m of rod and 12 nuts, so I welcome you thoughts on this as well. To be honest.. I'll follow your lead. Your work has been brilliant up to now..
BDSM Bench
This piece of furniture is essentially already made yet I'd like to add 4 eyelets to the bench so persons can be secured to the bench.
The piece is made of steel.

I'd like to attach an eyelet to each side of the leg. This means I'd like 4 eyelets attached in total.
I have bought the steel rodding that can be used and I have the nuts to secure.
