Took me 6 hours to crack and pick out 4 cups of hickory nut meat (I now have a new appreciation for squirrels that can clean out a hickory nut thru a small hole in the shell). At $15 dollars an hour that is $45.00 per pie. Made walnut brownies for the younger grandchildren as they waste too much pie!! Oh yea, I caught a coyote with the mange today but I am not puttin' his picture by these food pictures.

I have one and it works great on hickory nuts and black walnuts. You can literally crack the nuts, using the nut cracker, with just your little finger. Keith

Start truck engine, line up one set of wheels on board covering nuts, proceed over board with front and back tire . Get out truck pick up board covering cracked nuts, sweep into pail, take in house and put nuts in jar ! Bon Appetite !!!! RdFx
