Method Homemade guillotine

[Stryxmain]

I've been thinking about this method for quite some time. The lack of tools is a big challenge. However, if a carpenter would be able to provide us with a set of detailed plans, including a cut list and material list, then we could go to a homedepot and get all the wood cut to the correct specifications, and assemble it. The hardest part would probably be the blade itself.

We could crowdsource the ultimate CTB guillotine. Having the option to install a timer would be a nice feature too. You could lock your neck on the guillotine, pass out with alcohol and benzos and set the timer. A kiddie pool could be used to catch all the blood.

Feel free to contact me or discuss this method here. If you are handy and have access to tools we could make this project a reality

Just to avoid confusion, the pictures at the bottom are simply examples of what the plans should "look" like. These aren't actual guillotine plans.

Yes!!!

I've thought about this, but my carpenter acquaintance was only willing to make a mini one... For cutting fingernails.

Seriously though, if I had the means, I would probably go for it - had I not found a method I already feel good about.

Nice touch with the timer o.O You are quite inventive.

There was a case where a man took sleeping pills and then a timer caused the gullitone to drop.

I think I know the case. It was a jigsaw rigged to a indoor plug-In timer I believe.

I personally think it would take a long time just to set up. Little details too. Also, who would make that knowing what it's used for? Also, who would clean up that mess at the bottom? What if you change your mind halfway through but are locked in their for good? I also don't get how you would kill yourself with this, wouldn't someone else have to do it?

Oh

Of course.

Edit - But what a sad, tragic story. Horrible thing to put the father through :´(

Building it wouldn't be for everyone, but all you'd need is basically a drill and maybe some nuts and bolts (socket wrench). You just ask the guy to cut your wood pieces according to the cut list. He won't know what it's for unless you show him a picture of a guillotine. You wouldn't need to "lock" your neck per say. It could be a soft locking mechanism but your hands would still be free so you could get out if you chicken out. A lever or button would be near the side of the bed easily accessible to let the blade go but ideally what I would want to do is put some sort of timer in place.

Yes someone has killed himself already using a homemade guillotine, but I'm talking about making a template easily accessible by everyone. The goal would be to provide people the ability to build a guillotine with simple tools...like building Ikea furniture almost.

Its easier than you guys are making it look like. Open a door completely. Now you have a nice rectangular frame in front of you 6 feet high and around 3 feet wide, okay?
This will act as the body of the guillotine. Now getting a blade. You don't need a proper blade. Those stainless steel sheets can be used that can be found at any hardware shop. They are very thin so buy two or three of them. Join them together tightly, industrial glue can be used for this. Cut them in the height and width of your door. Make the lower edge sharper using stones. What kind of rocks? Try all kinds igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary until you find the best type. Now you have your blade. Its dimensions should be 3feet by 1 feet. Buy a very heavy marble slab. Make a thin strip in it(or get it made) to fir your blade in it. Now you will have to attach this marble- blade apparatus to the top rim of the door frame. Prevent it from falling by simply using a strong rod 4 feet high or anything. It won't be difficult to prevent it from falling down. Apply grease at the two blade-door frame edge interfaces. Keepin it up there and makin it slide smoothly down will be tricky but not impossible to do with stuff you can easily procure. So it is done!
Use a water melon as the first test subject. If it works, then lie down on the floor with the neck directly underneath your blade. Remove the support which keeps it up when you "feel like it". Goodbye !

The drawing is not mechanically correct but it has the gist in it.

 

[Roph]

There's gotta be a less messy and more pain-free method.

 

[polyswarm]

Can't imagine you'd feel any pain if it works as it's supposed to, but still very messy.

id love to die by a gullitone

 

[Lady black]

Where would you get the blade from?

 

[BjartNO]

This method triggers a deep fear inside of me so not for me but on paper a guillotine should be very quick and painless

Even just for the Wile E. Coyote irony I would seriously consider this if I lived alone. I have the skills to build such a device, after all..

 

[worldexploder]

You would really have know what you were doing in order to pull this off. This method sounds like a fail from the start.

I could easily imagine a scenario were the blade falls slower than expected. Wobbling on its way down just to give you a deep cut leaving you conscious but in agony.

 

[TheLastTrip]

I have thought extensively about a guillotine, and I have the skills needed to build it too. I am not sure about the idea of having a template others could follow, as @worldexplorer said then there is a lot that could go wrong and you need a basic level of both woodwork skills, mechanical knowledge as well as potentially metal working skills.

For the blade I always thought about getting a large piece of metal from a reclamation yard or similar, you might need to go to a few but you should be able to find something to repurpose. That's the biggest/hardest part so find that before any construction starts, get it cut for you to add the angle to it, and sharpen it with a whetstone, then you're ready.

I'd personally add a basket above the blade to hold heavy items, maybe some lead or rocks, to give added downward pressure. I wouldn't bother with the locking mechanism in that picture at the start though, that would be for executing someone against their will and keeping them restrained.

The release mechanism, now that would be the interesting bit. I thought of a simple peg with a rope to pull on, but a delayed release mechanism is interesting, although that does create the argument of adding the restraints back in as if you want to be passed out you need to make sure you don't roll out of place etc!

But the mess would be severe (good idea on using a kids paddling pool though!) and obviously it's a big construction so you need the space, outdoors would be better so you need someone who has a spare forest behind their house that it could be built in... but still, sounds like a fun project :)

I dimly recall reading a history of the development of the guillotine. It was not so straightforward as you might imagine. Apparently they're very fussy about needing their tracks aligned perfectly, and having a long enough drop for the blade to gather speed/force, and the trigger mechanism is more complex than you might think. The bevel on the blade is an important detail, too, as is its weight. It is not a mechanism to build casually if you want it to work properly.

I was going to build one a couple years ago --I have the skills-- and take it to political rallies at the state capitol as a warning to the politicians that history repeats itself...

Ooooof if you took an operational guillotine along you'd probably end up in jail dude, that's one serious lethal weapon you'd be hauling around.

Good points, but don't forget that's a working guillotine for day to day use so it needs to be robust to keep lifting the blade up etc, this is a one use job, and I'd have been testing it on a pig head and spine before I went anywhere near it! The last thing I would want is it only going halfway through :/

At least they couldn't pop me for carrying a concealed weapon! 8-)

My personal preference would be to make your and evreyone who uses this method death look like a conspiracy.

 

[Lifeisatrap]

Still think that would be a horrible way to go especially if not constructed properly. I'd prefer organizing a crowdsource for a more peaceful, modern devise like the Sarco. If I wanted to get my head cut off I would go to a country riddled with terrorists or gangs, seems like it'd be easier lol.

Just wanted to add something, would it not be better if the design included place to put two sandbags atop the blade, increasing the acceleration and power when the blade is dropping? It should also help reduce overall height of the machine.

Why the heck are you gone. Come back, let's put our heads together and build one! It's close if not my nr 1 method these days... yea I learned a thing or 2 ;)
