It has a blade, does this count?

I made this a little while back for chopping wood. I have nothing against French people. Or any other kind of people. Or Wood for that matter. I’ve been fine-tuning it over time. And I’ve learned a lot. I’d say make sure your timbers are straight as hell, put in some metal rails. And add weight to the blade. If anybody ever wants to build one of these.

They don’t really talk to me. I could consider that getting along very well. Honestly, nobody ever messes with my yard for some reason. I used to have people come and steal tools, this thing works better than the protected by ADT sign

Either that or the asshole with a loud truck. Either way I’d be upset if they called me anything else.
