Aluminum

Manadorned Full Crystal Pave

Yes, I’m always looking for something new to add to the collection - and given that I’ve learned how to make my own adornments from interesting materials like aluminum, it was only a matter of time before I stumbled on a new great idea. I don’t know what took so long for this design, but it finally dawned on me one day that I’ve always been a fan of mixed material adornments (such as wood/metal, aluminum/rubber, etc) and it really wouldn’t be all that hard to design a mixed material ring of my own!

ManAdorned Smooth Aluminum

I couldn’t just make ONE new design while the creative juices were flowing, could I? Of course not! Joining the knurled aluminum design is this new sleek, smooth, and crisp cock ring. Most of my designs have an inset field with a pattern inside but I decided to go a different direction on this one after having such great feedback from the pillowed segments design. While I love the weight of a stainless ring, this one called for a bright polish that is best achieved with aluminum to really make the design as dapper and sharp as possible.

ManAdorned Knurled Aluminum

Well it’s been a while since I decided to design my own adornment again… and this fine example is quite a wonderful outcome! Given that I have been successful producing geometric designs with various inlays/patterns, a question dawned on me. Why in the world don’t I have a cock ring that has a classic knurled finish to it?!? Now I do! I figured the design would come out well given that several others have been cool, but I’m actually quite surprised by how handsome this one turned out!

Hard Man Outfitters C-Splint Penis Tube

January 4, 2024

Hard Man Outfitters, known for their cool designs, released this cock splint a while ago. I thought it was neat at the time I saw it, but didn’t jump at the addition. As a subscriber to their newsletter, it popped in as a sale item (or some other discount) and it reminded me that I should give it a whirl! This splint has an interesting design. Built from aluminum and coated with a hammered gray metallic finish, it is much lighter than it appears.

ManAdorned Aluminum Net Triple Ring

OK… so in a previous review, I may have said that I cannot decide if I like the hex pattern or the net pattern better for my own custom-designed adornment. I think I’ve settled on the net pattern being preferred - and to drive the point home, I decided to build a crowning achievement in my absolute favorite adornment style: a gorgeous triple ring of this current favorite design! The design itself just a fusion of the standard ring (review, a newly designed shaft ring and a newly designed ball ring.

ManAdorned Aluminum Hex Field

In case you can’t tell, I’ve come to enjoy custom designing my own adornments based on whatever design thoughts pop into mind! I’ve noticed lately that a lot of things out there now have a hex pattern on them. Everything from car grilles to enterprise server faceplates seem to be sporting a six-sided grid pattern rather than a boring square or diamond pattern. Well, why not give it a shot and see how it looks?

ManAdorned Aluminum Studs

After creating two self-designed rings following the successful first custom-designed ring, I figured I was on a roll and should try for some more designs! The inspiring thought for this adornment was to replicate the look of a gem-paved band (like the terribly uncomfortable repurposed bangle experiment) for a “blingy” look. Unfortunately, the realities of manufacturing derailed the design similar to my previous attempt (which still turned out awesome!). Initially I started the design with square-shaped gems featuring a “princess cut” leading to an octagonal topped gem.

ManAdorned Aluminum Net

I loved my first self-designed and created ring so much that I was practically antsy to try making another. As a complete nut for fishnet thigh highs, I thought it would be fun to design an adornment that simulated a fishnet pattern. For full effect, there would need to be a thick border and raised netting. The thought experiment turned out to fail in the real world, unfortunately! A fishnet diamond pattern (taller than it is wide) being raised from the field it is in is not possible because of the conical shape of the CNC bit.

ManAdorned Aluminum Offset Boxes

The first in my series of self-designed and created rings, this brick-like offset pattern is carved into a 6061 aluminum body. As a test prior to manufacturing, this was made first on my 3d printer to ensure optimal fit and proportions. The pattern is inset by a few millimeters from a bevel cut edge with the pattern carved into the round profile of the ring. This ring features a perfectly proportioned inner radius to maximize comfort and minimize pinching with an overall width of just under .

Ballistic Metal Trax

December 28, 2022

Another quality design from Ballistic Metal, the Trax is a “chunky” aluminum ring sharing the raw aluminum finish found on several other models. Similar to the raptor in design, the ring has a rectangular profile with the full outer profile notched with grooves from front to back. If looking closely, one can see that the grooves almost appear threaded due to the tool marks as they were cut into the body.

Gear Essentials Quarter Screw Glans Ring

November 20, 2022

Designed to match the tremendously comfortable screw series from Gear Essentials, the quarter screw glans ring is a lightweight, highly polished aluminum adornment. The rounded edges ensure comfort and the striking finish easily matches the half screw cock ring that is already in my collection. The only thing left is to purchase a shaft ring to complete the set - which, unfortunately, is lost to time given the untimely demise of Gear Essentials as a manufacturer.

Gear Essentials Surge Glans

November 20, 2022

Just like its bigger brother, the Stainless Surge, this glans ring version features a concave outer profile to give some visual interest. While I would have preferred to keep the theme of stainless for both rings, this version comes in a lightweight aluminum weighing in at only a quarter of an ounce. You’d be forgiven for forgetting the ring is even on! What I particularly like about this thicker ring is the the way it looks while fully erect.

Retaining Ring Shaft Collars

November 15, 2021

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Such is life and such is the result of experimentation with industrial components as adornments. While browsing AliExpress for items to repurpose into rings, I came across these shaft collars used to lock movement of rotating assemblies in place on a shaft. A few dollars later, I had about ten collars headed my way. The experiment was hit or miss… with mostly misses. Naturally, these shaft collars were not cut for comfort, so they feature angular and sharp edges.

Black Aluminum Rock Climbing Ring

October 24, 2021

What do rock climing and cock rings have in common? No idea… but I do know that you can find an aluminum ring made for rock climing that serves as an excellent cock ring. This adornment features a smooth black surface and imitates large wire cock rings with its almost 1/2" thickness… but can be had at a practical steal of only $5 from AliExpress and about a month’s wait for it to arrive.

Ballistic Metal Raptor

September 19, 2021

Another great design by Ballistic Metal. The Raptor features a gear-like design along the outside of its brushed stainless finish. As is common with other Ballistic Metal designs, this adornment is on the larger size in height and width which helps with comfort. The machining on the ring is excellent, as is par for the course, but the inner profile is not as radiused as I would typically ask for… though it is well rounded to ensure comfort.

Ballistic Metal Custom Triple Ring Cage

There’s no doubt Ballistic Metal is one my favorite manufacturers to begin with, but to offer the ability to build a custom triple ring setup just seals the deal. After all, I absolutely adore cock and shaft combos. When custom built to exactly the size you want, the cock ring begins making things interesting while the shaft ring tightens down and your already engorged shaft to deliver an impressive and veiny erection that will make your day.

Ballistic Metal Solid Brass Cock Ring

December 31, 2019

Ballistic Metal is always up to something interesting so when I saw them release somid brass cock, shaft, and glans rings I had to add to my collection. I went for the “narrow” size (3/8") to match the narrower height and find the results pleasing. The solid brass has a brushed finish from a higher grit medium so the finish is almost shiny. I wouldn’t change a thing!

Gold Aluminum Shaft

December 31, 2019

A standard gold colored aluminum shaft ring was an obvious pairing to my Ballistic Metal solid brass ring. This adornment can be had from dozens of shops and comes in right under 1.5". For me, that’s a little too large for a shaft ring alone, since I appreciate the constriction of a 1.4" ring, so I generally only use this with a cock ring for a double trouble effect.

Ballistic Metal Aluminum Shaft

January 6, 2019

Everything you would ever want in a shaft ring, Ballistic Metal has delivered a nearly perfect example. This ring provides the exact diameter for a veiny display and a thick width that prevents digging into your shaft while so engorged. The brushed finish is a nice way to wrap the ring, though those preferring more “flash” may be left wanting for something polished or anodized (guess what? They have red and blue anodized available, too).

Accented Aluminum Donut

January 6, 2019

This polished aluminum ring features an inlay filled with a blue rubber accent. It is light and comfortable and has the added bonus that one could remove the inlay and replace it with another style of inlay.

Accented Aluminum Band

January 6, 2019

This polished aluminum ring features an inlay filled with a blue rubber accent. It is light and comfortable and has the added bonus that one could remove the inlay and replace it with another style of inlay.

Ballistic Metal Banshee

The Banshee comes screaming to you from Ballistic Metal with everything you expect from their signature styles and clever designs. In this installment, the ring is carved from the typical aluminum block and notched around the edges creating a crisp inlay and “spokes”. The width and height of the ring as well as the rounded edges ensure a comfortable fit for all day and all night wearing for those so inclined.

Continue reading

Gear Essentials Half Screw

The Gear Essentials Half Screw ring is just like the Plunge, one of my all time favorites as far as comfort and style. In this case, the Half Screw looks just like it says on the tin: a polished set of screw threads for your member. This eminently wearable and terrifically comfortable ring is an easy addition to any collection.

Ballistic Metal Gripz

Weighing next to nothing, but shouting its style clearly with one look is what the GRIPZ ring is great at. The cool, sharp look of the aluminum is offset by a textured rubber inlay giving a manly and industrial style. The ring itself is relatively comfortable, but not AS comfortable as some of the larger rings in the Ballistic Metal lineup. This is to be expected with the diminutive proportions of the height and width.

Continue reading

Ballistic Metal Sidewinder

Just like the Hellfire in many way, the Sidewinder is a handsomely designed piece of aluminum hardware. Being made from such a light material and being sized for comfort, this ring is an easy wearing companion for any day. The knurled outside of the ring would make you expect discomfort, but there is none to be found - likely thanks to the generous sizing of the height and width. The front-to-back holes give a nice design touch and invoke an industrial vibe.
