As you consider what to do with the guillotine, you briefly wonder if it only works on living things or can be used inanimate objects… Deciding to test it out, you grab a spare length of pvc pipe and stick it through the hole to see what happens.
The blade falls with a mighty “Schlunk!” And half of the pipe falls to the floor and bounces around for a moment before trying to roll away. You look through your end, and what you see through it is the garage from floor level, spinning around like a kaleidoscope! You turn it over and see that the other end is covered with a flat piece of smooth pvc plastic. You grin, you don’t have to be an engineer to think up applications for what you have in your hand… and now that you know that it works on inanimate stuff, you’ve already thought of a way to potentially make use of the big, heavy, fairly immobile contraption, to see if you can’t rub some of its mojo off onto something smaller and more portable.

You jog into the kitchen, and avoid the good steak knives and instead dig through the bottom cabinets for the old cutlery that’s never used anymore but still serviceable, and find an old, cheap serrated steak knife. Figuring it’s a good enough test subject as any, you jog back to the garage and waste no time hoisting the big heavy blade back up again and securing it.
“Well, moment of truth, you say as you hold the knife up to the edge of the much larger blade, and what you get is:
