    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.

        I have a hammer with a mysterious legacy that can be donated to the cause!

            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.

          sheet metal should work fine for the blade…
          and i don’t suppose we need the nicest lumber for that…

            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.

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