Just need to complete the short course in using a hammer & your home free

Thats the place I got mine from Eumundi! Who would have thought sticking a rubber door stop with a bit of coat hanger wire through it and screwing it to a lump of wood would be so effective at freeing your nuts!

It's basically a triangular vice made out of cast iron (I think). Put the nut in the vice and screw. Works really well, doesn't need brute strength and never squashes the kernel.

Ah but screwing your nuts is never as much fun as banging your nuts is it.

[QUOTE=cresta57][QUOTE=lor]

Macadamias were originally called Bauple nuts named after the locality about 20k north of where we live. They were then called Queensland nuts and after that renamed Macadamia nuts.

Thank you that was a good read .
