DIY Nut Cracker MACHINE walnuts pecans brazil nuts etc

In under 5 minutes you can do a 5 gallon bucket of walnuts compared to 8hrs to do 5 gallons by hand.
It can be set to only exert a specific amount of force distance as to not destroy the meat.
Works great on any hard nuts: Almonds, Walnuts (English or Black), Pecans, Pistachios, Peanuts, Brazil nuts, Hazelnut, Chestnut, and virtually any other hard shelled nut.

Great work. I got the idea. I think i will build one for pili nuts (canarium ovatum) here in the PHilippines. Thanks for putting it up and sharing your work.

[@MartinHroch]

One of the best tutorials I have seen (and one of the best videos anyway :)

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It's been an awesome tool.

[@ruralwashingtonstate6002]

Are those plans you refer in your presentation available yet? I'd pay $10 for a copy! By the way, the way you explained building it was very clear, as was the photography, without a lot of boring time consuming things that so many other youtubers do. My compliments!!

[@shelleyfunny19]

Hello Sixty! I just wanted to stop by and thank you again for your radiator advice, wound up paying $550 for a new one and $320 for the labor. much happiness! Thanks and more video success to you.

[@Jurraqueando]

Great video!

[@Joebanker80]

That's awesome man ... I remember back in the day when I was a kid, my nanny would spend days on the back porch with a hammer and a couple of picks getting to her walnuts. If only I could trace back time and give her one of these.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I'm sure she would be pleased.

[@dirkmeyer1038]

Awesome design. Need to make one for Macadamias. Thanks for sharing.

Great design looks like it worked good

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks Bud. It's really close to Corvette red.

[@EnderGamess]

I've watched all your videos and you sir are MacGyver in the flesh. Watching you build this was just the nuts!! (pun intended)

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thank you very much.

[@sixtyfiveford]

+Paul Denize Thanks.

[@danielm7585]

Very nice work!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks buddy.

[@SupaD77]

Interesting idea . . . my mother has a beautiful pecan tree in her front yard. She has taken to shelling and selling the extras but didn't last year because she's getting on in years (78). So anything I can do to make help her would be great. My family loves those pecans and that beautiful tree. My niece just earned her welding certificate and her dad's a welder too. Between the three of us maybe we can take this on. Will keep you posted.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Diana Spatz I'm sure between the two of them they'll easily get one of the made.

[@khana5pc]

So how do I get a copy of your amazing pecan sheller plans?

[@bigvalleycrates4748]

That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks. It works very well.

[@madebysteve1738]

hey whats up!!! researching nut shellers and found your vid...cool. my new property has more than 20 large walnut trees, turning ankle breakers into CASH CROP!! hoping to get back to making vids soon on the new property

Thanks.

[@minizt]

can i buy one from you. im serious my mom makes me crack these all the time.

[@henryndugire6212]

I would like to build a diesel powered groundnuts sheller to help farmers in my locality, could you help with the basics, measurements and installation of the motor

[@jhamersmidt1983]

You sure are creative enjoy you videos keep em comin

[@sixtyfiveford]

James Wallace Thanks Man.

[@DAS-Videos]

Nice. I have a bunch of black walnut trees that drop a ton of walnuts in the fall. I collect them off the yard, but just put them in a big pile in the woods for the squirrels because the nuts are really hard to crack. A lot tougher than store bought walnuts.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Luckily I don't have to deal with the walnuts and neighbors pile them(english walnuts) up for me and I just have to pick them up. The black walnut can be an evil nemesis but this machine handles them. Removing the husk on those is a bugger though.

[@tblbaby]

sixtyfiveford I've found just beasting on the husks gets through them in decent time, though they are hard to deal with (black walnuts) you can also run them over with a car to remove them. I had black hands last fall and they lasted weeks lol.

[@tinnerlxxiii]

Amazing!!

[@sixtyfiveford]

***** Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

[@1fanger]

Great design.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks.

[@Ivan.A.Trulyuski]

How much for that one?

[@iakovosvranikos894]

I liked it a lot. Good work, good video. I'm gona build me one!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks.

[@rowzez3464]

But dont crack deez nuts

[@user-nx1he1pq2k]

Спасибо . Мне очень понравилось твоё видео хотя ниодного слова не понял. Но показал всё очень доходчиво и понятно. Ничего лишнего.

[@artikaaaa]

Yes!!l It's very good. I'm going to build one. I have almond trees. Thanks sixtyfiveford :)

[@sixtyfiveford]

+Adatokat Nemadokmeg Thanks for watching.

[@WonderfulDay2023]

pretty nutty

[@RinoaL]

wow i really like the idea for the roller scate bearings! this makes me want to build my motorized rock crusher.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Rocks don't have anything inside worth eating... Kidding, yeah the urethane wheels take the shock load very very well.

[@RinoaL]

sixtyfiveford yeah i just think crushing up my pile or slag and concrete then putting the chunks in the driveway is better than chucking it into the woods :P i bet you could drill into the urethane and epoxy some nuts in there, then you have something to bolt to! btw i mean steel nuts not organic like in the video ;p

[@thorthunder3227]

How well does this crack black walnuts? I want to build a small one that will crack open the nuts without destroying the goodies. I think that two gears running to each other or even three to roll them down in succession. I think you could have a slide adjustment to slide the center gear against the other two having all three turning? I guess there are many ways to build one but making one durable is best of course. Strong teeth on the rollers. This is interesting. I will try one myself to make it the best to crack those hard walnut shells.

[@sixtyfiveford]

It works great and only smashes down on the nut to a predetermined thickness. You can't run it through with a green/wet husk though.

[@dannyjohnson2402]

GREAT IDEA! I'VE GOT THE NUTS!! BELIEVE ME!! When will the templates be available and for how much?

[@rchopp]

Very nice.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks buddy.

[@gertvanwyk1333]

great idea thank you. I made one from U channel steel, works like a charm

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's great.

[@wholesystems]

Awesome man.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks, it's been working out very well.

[@MrMunchiemo]

That's too cool!! Maybe the next project you can make a pea sheller.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks.. Yeah a pea sheller would be a neat project.

[@peterjtrocanoj8514]

Nice!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Peter j Trocano j Thanks.

[@dennis-yj3zz]

hello, I just watched your video on the black walnut cracker. could you please send me the plans for this project? I will pay whatever you think is reasonable. thank you. P. S . I always watch your stuff.

[@kingsleysview6478]

This is exactly what I'm looking for! Do you think it would work for Macadamia nuts? Thanks for the video!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Yes it will. It essentially just crushes to any preset diameter without smashing the meat. If you have a huge variance in nut sizes you simply run the smaller ones through a set time at a smaller setting.

[@solomonkuku4887]

hi Sixty , please it been 6 years you made this NUT CRACKER , can you also make a nut dehusking machine ? thank

[@sixtyfiveford]

I generally run nuts with dried husks through this same machine. I just open it wide enough to peel the husk and barely crack the shell. Then I close it up and finish cracking the shell in a second pass.

[@MyRandyf]

Where can i get the plans for this?

[@jesmilaz]

WOW Awesome. would you make it for selling?

[@sixtyfiveford]

jesus dm . Thanks. I hope someone else can use this idea and make themselves one.

[@728b]

Great!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks.

[@marygracewheeler5720]

ccan u make a hulled for that machine for the almond because I use for that machine only almond please tell me im so serios to know how much I want buy

[@joebonsaipoland]

Dude, you are the man! Such a clever design with the roller blade bearings! You have some mad skills! Respect!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thank you very much.

[@EdOfTheNorth]

Impressive......

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks.

[@9mil]

Genius! Might want to rough up the compression plate for a better grab...

[@ghostovadose]

genius.

[@khana5pc]

This looks like a great machine. How does one obtain the plans?

[@sixtyfiveford]

Grace Gordon Almost finished with them.

[@khana5pc]

sixtyfiveford Hi - making progress on those plans?

[@hannahmshelbwala7653]

Hello, Just watchd your video. Would it work on groundnut/peanuts? Is it available to buy from you?

[@sixtyfiveford]

Sorry, I don't sell this. Any nut the cracks open, it will work for.

[@carlossmith1254]

Nice

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks.

[@homersimpsonii5455]

Nice and it beats the hell out of cracking them by hand!! =)

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks. It took me 4 hours to crack half a bucket by hand and only 5 minutes to do a full 5 gallon bucket. I was happy to spend the time making this.

[@joebonsaipoland]

Would you consider building me one for sale? My in laws have a couple trees and they gets loads of nuts, this would be a perfect present for them. PM me if this would be a possibility!

[@sixtyfiveford]

I would have to give that some thought.

[@thomasthorn1011]

NICE!!!!!!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

[@jimmymccord1434]

How about black walnuts ? Awesome way to shell nuts but was wanting a idea on black walnuts

[@sixtyfiveford]

This isn't going to remove the husk, but cracking the nut is no issue.

[@christopherrichards8714]

I know you said no plans are available but could you at least give the dimensions of the side plates and the front/back plates? I heard you mention its 1/4 thick but how long and wide is it? If I had the plate dimensions I'd be set.

[@sixtyfiveford]

4 inches square inside. These are really not critical though.

[@forschungsbuero]

Great job! Did you ever try almonds? Do you think it will work?

[@sixtyfiveford]

I've done almonds. It works great.

[@mshingleton8195]

SO GREAT THANKS SO VERY MUCH GREAT UTUBE

[@sixtyfiveford]

M Shingleton Hey Thanks.

[@davegale2693]

Hi I would like to order plans when you have them ready

[@sixtyfiveford]

I never ended up finalizing the plans as nothing in the build is crucial. Everything can be made to your own specs and with what you have laying around.

[@markhenderson1127]

How do I get plans?

[@sandravissers5157]

what kind of work do you do for a living? i really like your videos Greetings from the netherlands aka | Holland |

[@sixtyfiveford]

Sandra Vissers Thank You.

[@tonypadilla6404]

Do you Make them for sale ? And how much is the cost of it Thanks Hope you can Answer

[@sixtyfiveford]

No, I don't sell them.

[@zx8401ztv]

Ive said it before, ill say it again, you are one clever man. I hope you get customers for your device, works great :-)) I still think you like being cruel to nuts ha ha :)

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks.

[@juancox1797]

Great job, how can i buy the blueprint?

[@sixtyfiveford]

Sorry, I never put out a blueprint. No measurements are critical and many people have built this to suite the scrap steel they had laying around.

[@camerongeorge4246]

Plans?

[@gig777]

Would that machine work on black walnuts as well?

[@sixtyfiveford]

+gig777 Yes. They need to be hulled though or dried out to the point that the hull isn't wet.

[@davidali9386]

hi bro, what is the horse power of the drilling machine used in this video ? thanks

[@vivianhart7152]

Me too

[@shelleyfunny19]

Oh, wait I have one more ? for u. my car has been sitting for a while and I want to put it back on the road. the gas in it smells like paint thinner. Do I really have to drop the gas tank and empty it to clean or is there a simpler solution u recommend? Thanks!

[@sixtyfiveford]

shelleyfunny19 If the gas is 5 years or less I wouldn't have an issue just running it. I would fill it with fresh fuel to dilute the old stuff. What kind of car is it?

[@shelleyfunny19]

sixtyfiveford it is a '96 buick regal sedan. it has been sitting for about 2yrs? I think. the car wouldn't pass smog so I just let it sit and started taking the bus. in your opinion should I work around the gas tank issue and start with getting it started and pass smog, then go to the gas tank if needed? And btw, thanks again for answering my questions!

[@sixtyfiveford]

The only reason a 1996 car would fail smog is because the "check engine" light is on. This would generally be due to bad O2 sensors, misfire, or similar. Any Autozone will pull the codes and tell you what it is. 2 yr old gas shouldn't affect anything. Start it up and run it out.

[@shelleyfunny19]

sixtyfiveford Yes!! That's exactly what Autozone diagnosed years ago! I have a mechanic who is ready to do the work necessary to get it running right. he said the gas has to come out. so I should just get a new battery (it doesn't start) and have him fix the sensors, and tune up? but the gas smells like paint thinner and you recommend that I can just run it out, right? if I run into problems I can check that later? thanks!!! I think the battery is even autozone and maybe under warranty. I will pull battery and get it started, think maybe just a slow charge will start it?
