Homemade Hand Guillotine with Spring

For cutting the wire, a chisel and a hammer are usually used, but you can simplify this process by collecting a table guillotine. For crafts, you need a little metal and the skill of owning a welding machine.

The device is made on the basis of an elongated steel plate, on which the chopping knife falls. The knife handle can be made from a square or profile pipe to fix it through the welded steel strips.

The knife is a hardened and sharpened strip of metal that needs to be welded to the handle so that when it touches the chopping plate is perpendicular to the base. For convenience, the device can be equipped with a return spring.
