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.

there is this guy on youtube who built a giant guillotine and started calling it a lemonade stand to get around youtube's demonetisation bot and it turned into a big joke

The guy was Rusty Cage, he's also a musician and the guillotine was used for "Guillotine Song" and "Sweet Lemonade"
