Maybe should have gone in Mel’s non- traditional woodworking thread.

That's obscene and doesn't belong here.
My opinion
Lighten up, it’s funny.
Nap,
My opinion: obscene
Your opinion: funny
We can respectfully disagree
it is wood a project, so whats the problem.

Taigert,
It's a crude device with the sole purpose of decapatiating humans. It's accompanied by a video of hooded men - terrorist, executioner, KKK whatever you want to take away from thatWe live in a world where terrorists have been decapitating people in recent years
Hard for me to take that lightly. Sorry.
But everyone's having fun with it, so I guess I'm the one out of line.
Perhaps this project is more suited to your delicate sensibilities.

D,
Is that what I get for disagreeing? Or are you just being funny again?
aaaahhhhh . . . let me guess; this is a communication tool for child rearing whose main demographic is teenagers. Going forward Its main application is providing incentive / disciplining said little angels to not get DUI, crash the car , bad grades etc.
Now I am doing it. Why does everyone say " Going forward " now on TV before they get to what it is they could have said with out the " Going forward " bit ?

Those steel right-angle brackets at the bottom joint don't look very sturdy to me, and show an obvious disregard for everything we hold dear. This site is about FINE woodworking, remember?

I think a Cosman wood hinge should have been used.

Hello David,
You are quite right, the brackets are cheesy and the workmanship questionable. Probably trying to hit the mass market price point.
No reason one could not build a fine one though.

Ooh, I want one of those. The neighbors (they rent, not own) have been smoking a lot of pot lately, and every time they do, it wafts in through my windows... one of these handy contraptions would put a stop to that in a hurry!

Whaaa? There's no bench to lie down on while the deed is done??
I think that's cruel and unusual punishment.
So the victim has to kneel, it's still supposed to be the quickest most humane way to execute someone. Too bad it feel out of favor.
Quickest way, huh? That come with a money back guarantee?
Most humane? Who cares!
If you have to kneel, what about people who are too short.
Like troublesome children? Or am I being redundant?
Hope everyone gets a grip and realizes I am being facetious here.Griff
I think the bench is an optional accessory.

There should at least be a kneeler, no?Griff
There's something wrong with this thread. I have an uncomfortable feeling that something is missing........................................................ Oh Yes! NOBODY has yet brought up the subject of bevel angles. Should the blade be ground to 25 deg and then honed to 30? Should there be a bevel on either side like in some kitchen knives?Then we can discuss grit and waterstones. :-) :-)
Dave,We think along similar lines. While I didn't mention bevel angles specifically, I think I came close when I said:"I love the blade, but would like more info on how it was sharpened, what steel it was made out of, what size neck it can handle, whether it can be used often without operational problems."Have fun.

I think Jessem and Lee Valley are working on some aftermarket accessories.

If you ask me.. this is a shining example of just another manufacturer attempting to market a product based on name and the fact that millions were sold... totally over-looking the need to change design to meet 21st Century safety standards.
Even though a bit more expensive initially... a Euro slider is the ticket to the 21st Century. The intended can be clamped securely with your hands not anywhere in the vicinity of the blade. A riving knife to help eliminate kick-back.. precision cuts at any angle.. over-head guard with suction to collect waste and prestige of owning such a machine to boot.
Who needs no stinkin' guillotine...
But you didn't ask me so.... I will wander down to my shop to perform surgery on a Bavarian country table ordered by "her" for the upcoming October-fest but used as a fish tank table until that occasion arrives. Well... just as soon as I can find my lederhosen which I obviously mis-placed during the evening...

I thought it would be good for cutting up large amounts of vegetables for the public stoning.
What kind of decent furniture maker would not make a stock and pillery to match?and that blade can it go thru Rednecks??? were is the USB port?
Careful with us Redneck's Shoe... we're a pretty sensitive lot and cry a lot if you hurt our feeling's. ha.. ha... ha..ha..ha..

Hey I'm more redneck than you. How many Chev trucks in your yard? ok how many run?And after this weekend it's really Red. The wee Colleen and I took our annual weekend camping trip. Met some friends, drank cool beers, and watched the fine spandex clad walk on the beach. Should have taken the garden bench and asked for quality assurance, HMMMAnd we do have feelings, when the bully kicks sand in my face , I cryed on my wife/ sisters shoulder till my four cousins wives came and took over. Cuz the still blew up and Honey had to pay off the 'revenuers. and while at the gun shop the credit card declined caz her brothin inlaw/uncle bailed out for assulting sheep.
Mr. Shoe,
Should have taken the garden bench and asked for quality assurance
It's Sales not QA.
You need to make a chair version, perhaps even folding? to take on your swarays to the beach my man. You'll be the talk of the beach. Spandex clad wimmin will want to try out yer bench.
With your charmin wit you'lll also be rich! Each bench will require custome fitting and perhaps several sittings to get it right.
On second thought, well, uh, oh never mind.

A Woodworkers mind should be the sharpest tool in the shop!
Ha.. ha... only one Chev pick-up and one Dodge Dakota.. they cut down all the woods from the farm county land-scape where I grew up outside Atlanta so no place to hide still anymore so... with that said I wil bow to you on being ranked higher on the scale.. :>)

Sarge,I'm with you - I don't think that it's up to today's safety standards. Surely it would benefit from some infeed and especially outfeed support. I think that a self-retracting blade guard would also be an asset. Although it would be pretty bad if the guard failed to retract. Ouch!Chris @ http://www.flairwoodworks.com and http://www.flairwoodwork.spaces.live.com)

If you put a blade brake on it.. you'd sell a million of em to the crowd who doesn't care for the sight of blood... or capital punishment. But.. that's another story and I'm going back to the shop to work on my Octorber-fest table as the cases of German beer are currently stacked on the floor impeding traffic. ha... ha...

Woodworkers' Guild of Georgia
I believe the version with the blade brake is being marketed as the ChopStop ™
You should check out the demo with the hotdog on YouTube
I'm so dumb with computers I have difficulty finding the directions to You-tube on Map-quest and...... using hot dogs for anything other than grilling in advance to eat while drinking a beer while you are waiting for the steaks to get to the promised land should be considered a waste of good well... pork and beef waste IMO.

Sarge,
Been having a chuckle all morning thinking about the new Felder sliding table decapitator with all the modern safety improvements.
Motorized tables of course and perhaps a shredder/collector for the scrap.

D,
you know, one could make a very precise decapitator with a CNC machine. Also, one could make it work VERY SLOWLY for criminals who perpetrated particularly heinous crimes.

D,
Great new product!
I love the blade, but would like more info on how it was sharpened, what steel it was made out of, what size neck it can handle, whether it can be used often without operational problems.
The design is quite nice. Very functional. For woodworkers, this could be used, with some shop-made jigs, for shooting miters, for really fine work on end-grain, etc.
There are real possibilities here. Every town should have one.
Mel

It would probably not be subject to the thickness restrictions of the Lion trimmer.
When I get some free time I will run down to the local Ikea and see what I can find out about the blade an capacities etc.
I wonder if they will have in store demos?

I thought it was new design for a miter saw. Kind of like that hand powered table saw..... should have posted it in hand tools....

I was at a bit of a loss as to which folder to post it to, so I went with general.
I wonder if they will come out with a powered version for the power tool aficionados?

Don,
I am getting the tricolours and the knitting ready now. Also, I have ordered several large swill baskets for all the heads, as they will need to be taken down to the palace railings for empointment.
Of course, my List contains the names of many Libertarians of the more neo-con variety as I deems these fellows to be The New Aristocracy, seeing as they have annexed all the money, power, fancy yachts and so forth. I am hoping your own proclivity in that direction may at least begin with a small "l" and remains largely theoretical, as otherwise The Committee may have to send a tumbril! It would be ironic should the builder of the head-loper be hisself amongst it's first victims (I mean justifiably-shortened customers).
Lataxe, writing a tract in his bath.
Sir Lataxe,
Your post comes at a diasadvantgeous time as I have had several Sapphire martinis this evening. The kind where you take 2 shots of Sapphire and shake them in a tumbler of ice. One must never let it see vermouth from closer than across the room.
Pour into a chilled martini glass and serve with two large stuffed Spanish olives.
Of course I viewed this as just an interesting woodworking project and worthy of criticisim and suggestions as to improve it's joinery.
Having no money or power and having sold my last boat I would hope I would not be included in said list .
I hope you enjoyed your bath and I am assuming the somewhat disjointed nature of your missive is due to the lovely ladywife joining you and taking your mind off the task at hand.
I have missed corresponding with you and am saddened that you would include me amongst those needing " shortening".
Best regards and my utmost respect,
Don

Hey guys!
It's for clipping the ends off cigars. It's about 6" high.
The pot guys probably have their own.

I like it! A bit crude, but it looks effective. That will look great in the shop. Let's see:
1) It's "Green" produces no greenhouse gases and eliminates those who would cause greenhouse gasses.
2) It's "Green" : Uses no electricity or fossil fuels. It's cordless!
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!!........... If you order right now, you'll get this handy set of thumbscrews........
Perhaps Al Gore can test it for us.
Best,
John
