I am having thoughts about building a LL head chopper, my question is whose plans are "the best" (whatever that means)? Most detailed, clarity, etc? Abbotts, Osbourne, others?
Thank you in advance for your input. Mark

Owen.

A lot depends on how you plan to use it. The Osbourne plans are intended for a routine where the Chopper will not be inspected by an audience member. The Owen Chopper is detailed and somewhat complex to build but is well documented and can be examined. It also looks like it could actually chop someone's head off. I haven't seen the Abbott's plans. Make sure to use the best building materials available and use only the best building practices. Do not use construction grade lumber. This is not something you want to fail in performance or practice.

I primarily do stage work, so inspection is not a real concern for me because of the way I have it routined. I am working with an experienced craftsman who doesn't skimp on materials, so I'm good on that front. I really like the looks of the Owen chopper, I just may go that route. I would also like to hear from anyone who has used the Abbott plans.
