Measuring Rod

I just recently built this thing to help me measure better. My current opinion is that it is much much better than a ruler as far as accuracy and reproducability goes. The parts cost about $4. Anyways, without anymore fanfare I will post pictures of it. I will be testing it out and will let you all know what I think of it after I have time to mess around with it a little more.

Tube, I think you need an exorcist to get the PE demons out. Really now, don’t you think a ruler is good enough?

I dunno, maybe for some. Why do you think there are such large spikes at 5.5, 5.75, 6.0 inches? Use what you want. I am still thinking about this issue though, and always trying to improve. Currently I like it.

What’s the matter tube afarid a 12” ruler soon won’t be long enough for you? Besides how does it work? What, bone press the blunt end, and let the rod go along the shaft and use the flat plate as the measuring end point of your glans’ meatus?

Tube,

I like it too!

Very clever idea. Does that thing dig in comfortably enough?

Yep, thats about it. I am trying to get it so that I can barely just touch the flat plate, then moving it a smidgen out more and measuring it with a ruler by balancing it on its end. Reliable accuracy seems to be about 1/32 of an inch.

Cap, I am using a 1/4-20 rod. It is about the width of a pencil. You can see on the end of it I have one of those triple length nut thingies (I think they are used for joining two rods together?). The nut makes it the width of, well, a nut. It makes it pretty comfortable. I am also using one of those nuts with the built in star shaped washer so that I can lock the nut in where I want it. The flat plate is held in place as such: a triple wide nut, a 1/4-20 washer, the flat plate itself, and one of those nuts with the built in star washer on the penis side. I got the flat plate near where the door hinges are kept at Lowes. I also got the rod there but don’t remember where. :)

Why don’t you measure by thread count? Say at 12 threads per inch, a 7 incher would be a whopping 84 threads!

Just dont do the bone pressed too hard and slip , looks like it could be painfull

Tube, are you bored or what? You could end up stabbing yourself with that thing!!

Horse, that’s exactly what I was thinking, “don’t you people have anything better to do!”

Right I’m off to build my own combo crucifix/cockometer. Evidently I also have nothing better to do either. Plus I’ve been watching a lot of X-files dvds lately and I think I need the protection.

Tube, don’t quit experimenting. It’s from beginnings like this that useful discoveries are made. I, for one, would like more details after you get to the point where you’re satisfied with it.

I guess Thunder’s Place started because a lot of guys were getting bored with their “members.” Well, at least it keeps me out of trouble. And the “members” are so earnest, (as if I’m not!). I have had more belly laughs since joining Thunder’s. LoL. I have to check back to see how Tube is progressing with that contraption.

There are no sharp edges on it (except the 4 corners of the metal plate), and I don’t know how it could slip off your pelvis anyhow. I am going to be using a high precision caliper (mitotoyu) to measure the height of the metal plate. It provides accuracies down to 1/1000 of an inch which is enough to track daily gains.

What a bunch of smarty pants.
Tube, I’m with WannaB - don’t stop toying around in Ye Olde Laboratory. Other than a few puzzling comments nothing bad can come of it.

I genuinely like the idea. I’m not an obssesive measurer because I think erection quality varies enough day to day to risk throwing off a guy’s game, but by using a device like this that eliminates “eye-cheat” you can certainly avoid bullshitting yourself month to month.

Give it a wacky name like the “Tubeometer” or the “Gain, Goal & Growth Grapher” (G3Grapher) and before you know it they’ll be selling them out of Sharper Image.

I like the idea! The problem I’ve been having with measuring is my point of view when I sit straight up and look down is at 14.5cm (bp). So when I look from there to my glans which is about a cm below the ruler I see it 0.5cm shorter than it is. When I bend forward to put my point of view right above my glans for an accurate measurement my dick retracts a little but I’m also not sure when I’m right above it.

I prefer sticking the smoothed corner of a ruler in my fatpad so what I may try is get a flat piece of wood, cut out a groove and stick my ruler in to create something similar.
