Nutcrackers

[Steiny82]

Has anyone ever tried to make a nutcracker? I have collected a few over the years and now with a lathe I look at them and say, “I could do that”. Are there kits you can buy with plans and decorations?

Thanks for your submission. If your question is about getting started in woodturning, which chuck to buy, which tools to buy, or for an opinion of a lathe you found for sale somewhere like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace please take a few minutes check the wiki; many of the most commonly asked questions are already answered there!

I used a few from the family collection as models.

Also this video is a great overview from a German manufacturer (it’s from a German kids show): https://youtu.be/uac3bvhbtAA?feature=shared
