I built one of these years ago, but it was oak and not that great. I really took my time on this one and think it came out nice. The blade drops with AUTHORITY, but just does not quite cut the end off of a cigar…....Dang.
I am thinking about moving down to a 48 ring size instead of 52 on my Churchill's. Heck of a lot easier than cracking back into that steel blade assembly.
Three guys are on the platform and…
The first one goes to the guillotine, the blade drops but sticks just above his neck.
Executioner says "you've had enough of a scare… you may go free".
Next guy stick is head through the hole and down comes the blade and… stops just above his neck.
Executioner says "you've had enough of a scare… you may go free".
Third guy says "wait wait wait!, this is terrifying! I can't stand it!... just rub a little butter on the blade… it'll slide down just fine".
Took me a heck of a lot of time to get it to drop, but the blade is pretty heavy, 1/4" steel. I (sort of) hardened it, then sharpened it on my Tormek. their would be blood…...
