Each Pranger is constructed of three layers of 3/4 inch thick furniture grade plywood, and measures 10 inches front to back at its widest point, not including the forged steel eyebolts, 32 inches long and 2 ¼ inches thick. The three layers of wood that make up the Pranger are laminated together with cabinet grade wood screws.   The Prangers are stained and finished with a classic oil finish as is traditional on fine furniture, and are designed to give years of service.   The three layers of plywood interlock into an absolutely rigid structure when being worn by the sub, holding his wrists in an immobile position approximately 9 inches away from the neck. See picture below for details on the interlocking system used to lock the two halves of the Pranger together. The Pranger weighs approximately 12 and one half pounds. The hinge is built into the Pranger and uses a ½ inch bolt with locking nut as the pivot point. Another ½ bolt serves to secure the Pranger in a closed position.  Two high strength steel 1200 lb safe working load eye-bolts are located at the front and rear center of the neck hole. Two additional steel screw eyes are located one at each end of the Pranger.   These four steel eyes allow the Master to attach chains to to the Pranger and secure the sub in almost any position, including a classic pillory position.  Because of their high quality wood construction, and it's 2 ¼ inch thickness at the neck and wrists, the Pranger is far less likely to cut or otherwise abrade the wrists or neck of a sub. In addition the wrist holes are off set toward the front of the neck hole decreasing pressure on the boy's back  and allows the Pranger to be worn for extended periods of time.

Yet the Pranger is compact enough that, when not in use, it can be stored under a bed or in a closet.

Closing and locking:   The Pranger closes with a 1/2 inch steel bolt which is located in a position where the sub cannot reach it. The bolt can be tightened with a wrench if desired by the Master.   For even greater security an additional set of 3/8 holes allow the Pranger to be locked in place with a long shackle padlock, so the sub cannot be released by anyone other than his Master. Lock must be purchased separately. We test the Pranger using a Master type long shackle padlock (Not Provided). When the padlock is locked in place the Pranger is so securely locked that it cannot be opened even if both bolts are removed.   Thus if you have two subs and are punishing one the other cannot release the other who is in the Pranger. We believe the Pranger is the most heavy duty and secure stocks available anywhere today.    

We have found that the standard size Pranger fits most subs.

The Pranger is also available in larger sizes for big boys with broad shoulders.   Specifications are same as for the standard Pranger with the exception that distance between the wrists and neck is increased to approximately 11 inches (28 cm) and the wrist and neck holes are larger if required. Overall length is increased to 36 in Weight of the larger Pranger is increased by about two pounds.

The picture below of a Pranger open shows how the interlocking assembly works. The locking holes for both the ½ inch bolt and the padlock are both visible.
