Funny enough, I used to ask for a guillotine every Christmas, but I never got one. So, one weekend visiting my granddad he and I made one in his wood shop. The blade was made of wood though, and it was the perfect size for me to pretend to guillotine my Star Wars figures.

So I had a guillotine at home.

The classic American guillotine! Homegrown, native species doing solid American work. We don’t need no French inventions here
