He turned it into a semi-automatic device, and you can easily repeat this experience at home.

Don't be afraid to ruin your instrument
Any alterations bring some changes to the existing instrument. Sometimes these changes are so dramatic that it is impossible to use the thing in its usual quality later. But not in this case: don't worry about your hatchet.
What and how to make a cutter stand
The author used multilayer plywood for the manufacture of the homemade body. But this is not necessary - you can just as well use a regular wooden block and board.
Final assembly of the torch
The base and the hatchet are ready to become one.
What is its advantage: you will not put extra effort, even such hard vegetables as carrots will be cut easily and quickly. You can cut hard sausages into even thin circles thanks to the guide bar.
Of course, the success of the device will depend on the sharpening of the blade. The sharpening should be updated periodically, since it is very easy to do this - you just need to unscrew one of the nuts and remove the hairpin, and then the hatchet itself. You can simplify the task even more by replacing one of the nuts with a "butterfly".
Users noted with humor that such a kitchen tool is very useful for those housewives who do not know how to use sharp knives. Laughter laughing, but the device is really quite safe, unless, of course, deliberately stick your fingers under the knife.
And one more important point: be sure to treat all wooden parts with special oil for cutting tables, this will protect the surface.
By the way, if you are fond of homemade products, then this little knife can be very useful to you, since it is not difficult to make it:
