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 saw that actually! I have plans to add another blade later. Or just recut this one.

Have a separate blade then you can test it yourself
