The gibbet on the churchroof / Fame festival 2011

DateMonday, August 22, 2011 at 8:20PM

Or is it a gallow?  I could not find a rope in any shop, a nice 19mm nature fiber woven rope like it is mentioned in the capital punishment uk guide. It was as difficult as to find a proper shit-maker, so i had to wove it by hand out of 16 normal strings.
While installing the gibbet the police dropped by. It took me a while till i realized that they were mainly concerned that i wanted to commit suicide. Who is building a gibbet on a church roof to make suicide?!? See some more photos here.

It's a gallows (note the s). The gibbet was a device for displaying the criminal either before or after death. The gallows was specifically for hanging. You have created a gallows.
