anyone ever consider building a guillotine?

[TripleA]

would it offer a quick and easy method?

Me if my SN dont come or if come and fail, then im planing to built guillotine

If only I lived in revolutionary France.I could just piss off some important guy and enjoy dying a la française

 

[voyager]

Yeah, love instant methods, and it's actually my second favourite behind firearm. It also has the unique benefit of allowing one to witness one's own decapitation and thereby giving one the reassurance of knowing one has succeeded and will die for certain. I find that thought very comforting. Definitely worth considering if living alone. Nice combo with poisons too.

You could make a much improved version. I imagine using T-bars along the sides, with rollers on the blade. Would follow a perfectly straight track. Load up the blade with a couple of 45lb weight plates, and make sure the blade is razor sharp.

Here's a pic of a home-built one. Looks relatively simple to make...

 

[Aap]

If you search, you can find many (or at least several) people who have asked about making one. If you do, you definitely need to share pics.

 

[Antigonish]

I commend your effort

They say you can see your headless body for the fraction of a second...not sure if thats good or bad

 

[Moon Flower]

I don't think anything about assembling a whole guillotine would be easy. Maybe if you're able bodied but even then it sounds like a lot

 

[Xiaomi]

If I had the time and resources, why not? I would set it to automatically drop while I'm asleep.

This deas has crossed my mind a couple of times and I genuinely think it can be a legitimate method

 

[Kruger]

Not something that ever crossed my mind

 

[speck]

Lmaoooo for years it was my holy grail! But it's impossible

 

[MindFrog]

Nah, guillotines are only for the corrupt rich peeps. And you'll have a closed casket in your funeral.

 

[peacechoice]

Yes I've already thought about that lmao.
But since it is hard to make,
I realized it was a pretty dumb idea.

Bruhh same. Been contemplating for years, sadly I'm not an engineering major and carpenter or else I've already built this shit.

 

[Nimbus]

for your quarantine.

Where is this meme!?

"Ikeatine for your quarantine" @Good4Nothing

 

[Bruces]

This is something I've thought about also!

bad, mucho bad

Dont think the funeral matters much, considering the overall topic

 

[AutoTap]

I can't even figure out how to hang properly. So nah hasn't crossed my mind I wouldn't be able too lol

Yeah and Sweden has one of the highest suicide rates so...why no Ikea guillotine?

Depends on how you define highest. Sweden's rank is currently #32.

According to the estimates I've seen, you will remain conscious somewhere between 3 and 60 seconds after you've been decapitated.

 

[hoping to lose hope]

Seen some truly cray cray self kill methods but this seems so funni umm sorry for seeming edgy but building one just to ctb my my.

Where did you read that?

 

[Sensei]

Where did you read that?

Various places. You can research the topic yourself by simply googling "decapitation" and "conscious".

Yes, this.

This is the way I intend to go if circumstances arose for it. A guillotine is not hard to build. The frame is literally just four 4x4s. I think the blade is supposed to be loose in the grooves so there's no friction? Or am I wrong? Not entirely sure what to use for the blade. A butcher's knife, a machete or a sharpened lawnmower blade might work. Would obviously test a few times before using, on a piece of 4x4 most likely. The guillotine doesn't even have to be that high, either. You can make a short one with weights and some sort of tensioner, like a couple bowstrings tied together from a crossbow. Anyone who has ever built anything can make one of these easily.

I read about some guy that did this - set a jigsaw to go off on a timer switch to cut the cord. Set it for like, 2 hours, have a blanket and a pillow that you can sleep on, have your head locked in place so you don't miss and literally just fall asleep and never wake up. I would also drink some alcohol before hand and probably some sort of drug that puts you "out of it" so that you don't really know what's going on. What drug though? Tylenol 3s? I know nothing about drugs. I assume your head will become conscience for a split second after being severed so the drugs should solve that "omfg" moment.

If I had the time and resources, why not? I would set it to automatically drop while I'm asleep.

Sigh...another bullshit grandstanding post. Why on earth are you talking about drugs to take when you aren't going to build the guillotine in the first place.

I am going to build one. I may need the out some day so since this is my preferred method I'd rather have one in storage than potentially be unable to make it later in life.

 

[ansiedad]

It's fucking crazy.
But the truth it that I have this fantasy sometimes, fast and painless end.

Currently out of stock on Amazon ;)

 

[LONE WOLF.]

This might be a good start to build on! Most office supply shops would have something similar for you to build on!!!
