Making a Nutcracker - Year 6

Check out my website for the full article- www.thehomestea...
Each year, my wife and I make a nutcracker. Here's a video of this years little fella. He's a blacksmith. This is the second nutcracker that we have made in the basement shop and it's great. The first 4 where made in my old shop which was pretty cold in the winter, it did have a wood stove, but it doesn't compare to well lit warm shop with full power. We turned the nutcracker on a lathe, made other parts with a bandsaw and even used a metal lathe.....as I like to get complicated on at least one aspect of each nutcracker. Looking forward to the years to come.
