A few devices reviewed in _Home Food Systems_ Roger B Yepsen ed.
Rodale Press 1981 (yes, the same folks who bring you Prevention
and Organic Gardening, their books are generally quite good).

Potter Walnut Cracker
$34.50 (then)
Fred Klingensmith, Inc
Sapula, OK  74066

Texas Native Inertia Nutcracker
$14.98
Charter Co, Inc
Bickett Blvd
P O Drawer 10938
Raleigh, NC  27605

I have tried neither one but from the review I would go with the
Texas Native (rubber band powered) rather than the Potter (leverage).
Personally I rather pay the premium for preshelled refridgerated (sp)
raw nuts at the local health food store or (better, but further) food
co-op.
