We had a bumper crop of pecans this year. Handheld nut crackers are slow and tedious. The trick is just enough force and pressure to crack the nuts shell to be removed but leaving the pecan halves intact. To speed up the process my nephew built an automated nutcracker that could crack hundreds at a time in just minutes. It is constructed of old scrap lumber, metal, old lawn mower parts, and an old electric motor that had been tossed out. With an adjustable hopper it can handle a variety of nut sizes and once dialed in it does a great job. This video is just showing it running, will do a more detailed construction and how it works video in the future
