I made my own because I figure we're all built differently. I just took 2 pieces of wood 18" long... 2x4 here in the States, (The larger the dimension of wood, i.e. 2x6, 2x8, the more curvature can be cut from it for larger men/thicker legs) held one up behind me, penciled in a slight curve for the legs, screwed the wood together (to ensure both sides were identical when cutting/sanding), then began cutting for a basic form. It was trial and error, but easy enough. I did have to sand it somewhat aggressively in a few areas, but it's heavy duty! I added hinges, a lock, and a felt lining in the inner ball-holding part. I think you should use your imagination, customize it to your size and shape, and I'm sure it will turn out good.
