What is that asian head removing device called?
I just saw a head removing device at the credits of an Ancient Death Weapon show thing and it made me curious. It looks like a coiled up dragon with blades on the side of a platform and a chain that the user holds. It is then thrown over an enemies head and the hollow platform with a net attached falls over the person's head and when it is yanked,the blades retract and the person's head is removed. If anyone knows the name, please tell me.
Flying guillotine.

THE TERRASAUR "Chainsaw Blade"
Measure twice, cut once. We've all heard that phrase before. But, even when we follow that advice we still have trouble getting the pieces we cut to fit precisely the way we want. Sometimes we cut them too short and we have to fetch another piece, other times we cut them too long and try to cut them again until they fit but wind up cutting them too short again. What about the time you tried to install baseboard around a room and found that your miter saw didn't cut exactly perpendicular. The miters in the corners should have a tight joint that is evenly spaced from top to bottom but you have a gap that was bigger on the top or bottom.
So, what can you do to ensure that you get precise well fitting parts when creating your woodworking projects? Here are the tools you should have on hand to get professional looking results:
- A deck of cards or sticky notes - cards, sticky notes and paper all have a thickness you can use to "sneak" up to the dimensions you want. If you use a miter saw, table saw, router or almost any other kind of power tool that references an edge you can use these items against a stop block to size your work precisely. By using these items you may be accurate to thousandths of an inch.
- Digital Angle Gauge - setting up a miter saw or a table saw is much easier with one of these electronic devices. For a miter saw you would set this device on the deck, zero the digital display and then set the magnetic perpendicular face to the side of the saw blade. For the table saw you would set the device on the table and then place the magnetic side on the saw blade. You would in both cases be able to set the blade to perpendicular very accurately. Setting up any power tool should be done with the power cord disconnected.
- Digital Protractor - this is one tool that makes cutting accurate angles easier. From splitting angles for cutting precise miters for baseboards and molding to setting up perfect angles for 4, 5, 6 or more sided projects this make the job so much easier.
Try these techniques and devices the next time you want to get professional results on your project. You'll have results that even a professional would envy. You can find more precision woodworking tips and reviews at http://www.thejigjoint.com.
