With the surge in DIY-culture of late, it is only the natural that the progression from making your own jar of pickles is moving onto building your own guillotine. So the next time you mill through the fridge, and find either a head of lettuce or a Marie Antoinette ready to rot in the crisper drawer, you can make yourself a salad with a really dramatic chopping technique — just throw on a little French dressing, and voilà! The wooden guillotine measures 2.68″ x 59.06″ x 23.62″ once assembled and comes with blade and rope. Capitally punishable criminal not included. Auction bids started at well over $9,500, but if you want your own you’ll just have to build it yourself.
