Alligator

Not yet built furniture

Alligator

A bench with a bite for restraining in a prone position.
You can lie face up or face down, with the hands locked in a stock under the head, or out toward rings. The legs can be locked stretched out or spread toward rings.
A possible option is to add a chain to lock the head in place, but it's probably not needed.
Can be disassembled for storage with a few wingnuts into five flat parts.

One possible option is to put a ring and a lockable hook so you can have a chain to secure the head.
It's probably not needed, with the hands locked, the head won't be able to move much anyway, and it disturbs the look of the device.
