    FAKE! I call fake!
    Note the lack of allen keys and the abundance of wingnuts. Also, that appears to be genuine wood, and not fibreboard coated in wood design plastic.

    i think a good diy guy (like me) could make a nice blade from some 1/4"- 3/8" plate. it would be nice to find out the angle to sharpen it. thin to cut cleanly would need a lot of maintenance (chipping on bone and such). too thick, and you may have to take more than one whack at the job at hand.
    i think i would have to use some roller track for the blade to cut back on friction as well, as the ceilings in my house are kind of low.

    This is not a good idea. You do not want a functional guillotine in your house.There will be an accident and at best they will only be hurt badly, at worst...

    "Ikea-Style DIY Guillotine Covers..."

    Crap! I got all excited thinking this was going to be like a tea cozy cover for guillotines; that would have been so convenient for me! Sadly, no.

    I guess I'll just have to make my own. Do y'all think 8 feet of paisley print canvas would be too busy?

    Relying on the Swedish for a death machine is like relying on an African chef for your fine cuisine; lack of experience dictates it won't go well and you'll probably only end with a bad taste in your mouth.

    There must be a large gap on the right between bookcases in order to allow this to close. That will ruin the effect, I think. Or else they are off-set. Actually, if you look at the other photos, they do seem to be offset with respect to the right-hand bookcase. Not bad at all.

    Wonder what he's using underneath the bookcase to keep it rolling smoothly without marking up the hardwood floor...

    @Jerry: You're right. Dell Dimensions serve a wonderful purpose.


    I mean, how many hectares of low-pile industrial-grade office carpeting have been amply held down by the weight of a Dell Dimension tower? So, as far as preventing the furnishing from floating off into space is concerned, a Dell Dimension is a wonderful solution. Also, there are few computers as qualified as a Dell Dimension in the attraction and herding of office dust bunnies.


    Face it, Dell Dimension are the Ensure of the computing world. They get the job done but not in a particularly pleasing manner. That said, I am surprised and pleased that even the functional (in the same way that a run-of-the-mill plastic stapler is functional) Dell Dimension has someone of your caliber to defend its honor.


    To the Dell Dimension Fanboy! Hip hip...

    Now to address your comment. Dell no longer makes Dimension labeled machines. Therefore a Dell Dimension = Old + Busted.
