sin_free_for_00_daysDon’t know where you’re buying materials, but it would be 4 times that, at least, for the raw materials. Still worth it.
Miles O'BrienHaving built a few medieval contraptions over the years, it’s going to be at least $100 for the wood alone (and that’s if you use 2x4s), and the blade will probably be around $50 for just the steel.
Guillotines can be a little finicky if you’re not careful during the building. It’s a decent bit of weight slamming down, it needs to be on-track and aligned with itself or you might end up lodging the blade into the frame.
Country of origin is irrelevant, you use the materials you have available.
I was just making a joke about measurement systems and that US people have a weird kink with 2x4. As if the whole US is built on those. Including the Statue of Liberty.
They’re not even 2x4, we straight up lie about it! They’re 1.5in x 3.5in.
Not the ENTIRE US but most modern homes are built with 2x4s, so in a way, the US is kind of built with them.
