It was either purchased by my father, or my uncle. The answer has been lost to time as both are long deceased. At times it was in one’s house until it was stolen back by the other, and vice versa. Both men warred over who it belonged to for years, nearly tore a chunk of the family apart. Normal ass hammer bought at a Canadian Tire in the 80s.
Now its in my hands, where it waits to be drawn and cannot be put away until a nail is driven.
Nah, might as well do it right. There’s a few thousand billionaires in the world, so it’s much more economical to build it to last than to skimp on materials and having to build new ones all the time.
$110 at harbor freight. Light and compact enough to bring it to any event. No power? No problem! For an additional $25 you can pick up a 20v cordless version. Variable-speed trigger and 6-speed dial provide adjustment for different applications. Additionally, you conveniently receive a complimentary 5 gallon bucket with purchase this weekend!
How much would it cost to construct a guillotine? I bet the ROI on that would be fucking astronomical.
I could probably build it for $500. Less if it only needs to work once or twice and I can cut corners.
It’s supposed to cut necks, tho. A guillotine that cuts corners is practically useless.
No, you’ll be cutting cylinders, basically.
are you including the price of tools?
I have a hammer with a mysterious legacy that can be donated to the cause!
I am intrigued. Tell me more about this “mysterious legacy”.

Haha, the Hammer of Angantyr.
I already have the tools I’d need just budgeting for hardware, lumber, and steel for the blade.
sheet metal should work fine for the blade…
and i don’t suppose we need the nicest lumber for that…

Damn, looks like I forgot to sharpen the blade. Eh, just keep raising it and dropping it. It will get through eventually.

Around $500 USD plus shipping but there’s a 5 year waiting list here.
If you add the week of labour to assemble once it arrives, about $2k if you hire someone, your total cost should be $3k with shipping, tariffs, etc.
The irony of this being subjected to tariffs.
