LondonRopeTop

I'd planned on showcasing some amazing ropework, but as I was trying to choose photos to showcase I kept coming back to photos from the same top. Community is important to me, and one of the easiest ways to start seeing connections is when a top has very distinguishable work. When you look at a bottom's profile and can tell who they've played with, it really helps in determining who responsible tops are. On top of that, there's something amazing about finding yourself in a playspace featured in photos you've been jerking to for years.

At any rate, I've been a huge fan of LondonRopeTop's work for years. In addition to ropework he does some really interesting things with steel, whether it's fashioning them into stocks, a chair, a cage, etc, it's nothing short of art. In fact, it was his playspace that inspired me to buy Kee Clamps to make a bed out of pipes that I could easily customize. You can find more examples of his work on Recon, Twitter, and Tumblr.
