Step 8Hanging and mounting the blade
Once the stain and paint are dry, measure and mark the center of the uppermost beam on your frame. Predrill the hole, and then twist the eye screw into place. Repeat this for the top of the blade's crossbeam.
Reassemble the blade and crossbeam. Tie a knot through the blade's eye, and thread the rest of the rope through the eye on the top beam. Adjust the blade to the desired height, pull any excess slack from the rope, and wrap it around the drop beam to secure it.
Now to secure the crossbeam to the frame. If you have an assistant, have them hold the crossbeam still while you drill a screw through each side. Alternatively, you can lay the guillotine down and use a spare piece of wood to hold it in the right place while you do the drilling.
Tighten and loosen the screws to make minor adjustments as needed.
