In this review, the author shows the process of making a homemade device for cracking hazelnuts and walnuts. If you like to click nuts, then homemade work is useful to you.
To make such an adaptation, the author uses oak planks and an aluminum blank (blank), for the processing of which a lathe is required. If aesthetics is not important, you can do with improvised tools.
First of all, the author makes the necessary parts from an aluminum blank on a lathe. Conventionally, this is a rod with a shock head and a base on which the nut will be located.
The main stages of work
The impact head must be screwed onto the stem with the help of a small screw. A spring is put on top. Now the main part of the homemade product is ready.
Then it will be necessary to make a holder for the rod with a shock head and a lever that will drive the entire mechanism.
For this, the master uses oak blocks, but you can take other blanks as a basis (even plywood is quite suitable).
The missing parts are then manufactured and the fixture is assembled. For a more aesthetic look, you can cover the tree with varnish or stain.
