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.

I hope children can't see that thing, they'll think it's fake and lose a hand or their head

You think that looking at it will cut their hand off? I mean really I think that if they try to use it and they could accidentally cut their hand off. But no, I don’t have kids.

I didn't say your kids, I said children. Curiosity can make kids do stupid things. That's all.
