That's pretty slick Danny. I never knew about those boxes. About like the Salt boxes my 74 year old Uncle told me about. Said Salt boxes were made of oak and when he was a little kid people would put their meat in them on a layer of salt then cover over with Salt and put the lid back on and cure the meat like that. We've all lost more knowledge than we ever know. Great video Danny. Thanks
Good morning Danny , What an amazing pecan box, . My dad has pecan trees on his ,well my step mom's now , I love going & getting 5 gallon buckets when they drop ,especially due to the price these days , It's been since 2019 , I had got me some , but looking 4ward to some ..God bless you , Great Work as always. Mrs Josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏🏻
Enjoyed hearing about your parents’ Christmas tree farm and the original pecan cracking box. Hope your knee continues to heal. Thanks for sharing. 💕from Ky.
Daddy and I would go pick up pecans ( my favorite part ) and he also loved sitting and cracking them for hours. He put 2 in his hand and squeezed to crack them. WONDERFUL MEMORIES . Thank You
The Texas sheller is used to snip off the ends and then the the sides. take small bites. Thats all i have ever used. I do like the way your works. Im still picking up pecans!
I use vice grip plyers to crack pecans. I use the screw adjustment to set the jaws so when I close the plyers they just crack the shell. I give it a crack then give the nut a quarter turn then crack it a gain. Usually the shell falls away easily and the meat isn't crushed at all and both sides come out whole. I hold a big bowl of nuts in my lap and let the shells fall back into the bowl and i toss the meats into another bowl. I can shell a big bowl of nuts in just a few minutes. Just another of a thousand uses for vice grip plyers Thanks for all you do.
💖 The Texas nut cracker is my husbands favorite. He take and snips the ends off both sides and then places the nut long up and down and gently squeeze he gets whole halves just about every time. Place the nut inside the cracker
Great idea! Danny memories live as long as you do! My wife and I took care of my dad for five years before he passed! My wife and I have so many memories! “God best you brother!”
I used a Dukes to crack pecans as a child. Momma always wanted the meat in halves for baking. I would sort the nuts according to size before I started so I didn't have to adjust every time.
Enjoyed this podcast. My family owns a pecan farm in south GA. I have every kind of sheller there is. My very favorite is the Texas sheller. Love the box you made! And love y'all! God's Blessings
Thanks for telling the stories that go along with this pecan box. It's nice when you have to sit and do something to have something that'll sit there with you.
Danny when the holidays came us grandkids would collect the pecans from granny's yard... she had a big wood bowl with hand nutcrackers...we would spend that time with her preparing pecans for the pies she made... memories are priceless... she was so happy to have buckets full to last a while...🤗
God Bless , you are such a real blessing to All of us . We have learned so much from you . You’ve brought back memories, I can never Thank you enough .
I was so proud a couple months ago to find your same nut cracker @ Good Will for $5. No one knew what it was. I got it intending to use on black walnuts from my trees, but you are right. They are too hard. Mine is mounted on a 12"x16" piece of plywood. Now I just need "Danny" side boards to be "up town" like y'all. Thanks for ALL your sharing Danny & Wanda
Thanks for the story and pecan box build .. I remember listening to my papa , uncles and my parents stories.. Memories are all we have to pass on to others .. We've been sharing stories daily here past few days as my mom is on her last couple of days .. Homestead living needs to stay alive through our UA-cam channels .. Its growing more all the time as I'm getting ready to start my journey.. Thank you for your videos and stories
Thank you for the detailed instructions. I've added the pecan box to my list of projects! I've always sat with 3 bowls and the nut cracker, so this will be an awesome addition to our homestead.
I enjoy these kind of videos. I use coconut oil on my wood kitchen utensils like cutting boards and spoons. I would love for you to do more woodworking projects for us. It was very soothing.
I love the pecan box you made. Definitely a memory maker. I remember my Mom setting us kids around with big bags of walnuts for us to crack. Good times!!!
Really beautiful work Danny! I'll miss the live tonight. Church and finishing up my preparation for full water baptism on the 19th. I was sprinkled once; however, my church only recognises full water baptism. I'll catch the reply when I get home. Blessings, julie
I’m glad someone likes to shell pecans. It’s a chore to me. I like buying mine at the store in bags of halves, already shelled. Unfortunately, they cost too much.
I really enjoyed this video. I'm now thinking about a pecan pie! Memories are good. My father was a carpenter . He built many houses and things ,even tool boxes.
My husband made us a black walnut box to crack ours using a steel cracker.. We love the sweetness of black walnuts pus they help with parasites! Wish I had pecans too!😜💜 my grandma told me one of their jobs to make money back in her young days was cracking nuts! So cool your family had a Christmas tree farm, that's always been one of my dreams, only bc I love white pines! We've planted 10 on our property 💜
Nice video.. I've always loved wood working and making little boxes and toys and such.. If you do anymore projects I would love to watch.. Thanks for sharing Mr. Danny.. I pray your knee heals soon! God bless!
I got bored one day and decided to make a tableware tray that was similar, but had a handle on the dividing board. I used rough sawed pine that pine borers got into. I planed it to about 3/8” and finger-jointed it. I also used 1/4” bead boards for the bottom. I ended up making several, once my wife spotted it. They ended up being Christmas gifts.
I love my nutcracker...I have the adjustment nutcracker... it's my favorite! I put a towel over it when I crack a nut to stop the nut shells flying everywhere...I have owned mine for decades...My daughter borrowed mine and tried to keep it...LOL! I need to buy her one for a gift 😁 I don't think the hand one would work for me. I have severe arthritis in my hands.
I have the same nut cracker still in the box I got from my momma after her passing. Good idea with the box and all.....Thanks for the chat......00TG from Illinois....
Awesome yall hope your knee get better my right knee been hurting for 12 years off on had to have shot about 3 weeks ago feeling somewhat better never 100 percent
Cool video! Here in South Carolina we say it Pee-Can. Haha! Love me some pecan pie! Really enjoy watching all your videos. Great to watch like minded folks👍
great to see this neat nutcracking tray .that hand held tack thing is a bit different from the tiny tacks and small hammer my dad used for his wood workings. I didn't know the end was best I'd just crack them in the middle. Its only christmas time we get any in shell nuts here .don't see them any other time of year. Unless its already shelled in a bag which I use for my flours .wish we had nut trees near here. Nice you've still got your dads nut cracker trays great idea he had and a memory cabin .
Hey Y'all, Wow that is a very nice nut cracking box. I love the gadget. Does the gadget have a name are they for sale somewhere? I grew up with a pecan tree and a walnut tree in the back yard. You better believe I cracked thousands of pecans every year didn't take long before I could get them out 100% all the time. Mama sold them bagged in the shell, shelled whole and shelled halves. She always split the pecan money with me. To this day I'm 58 years old I eat pecans and or walnuts every day. Of course they were free then. I am sure you know of the good cholesterol you get from these nut. I changed my cholesterol numbers so much my doctor could not believe it was just from eating nuts. I told her God gave us nuts for a reason. I know the truth that is what matters. God bless y'all bye for now
I use coconut oil on all my wooden kitchen tools. Like cutting board, spoons, etc. I have some grape seed oil but haven’t tried that. Think I’ll use it next oiling. Thanks for the tip. Have a great weekend.👩🌾🦋
You and I are the epitome of lazyness. I too have duplicate tools in my house, my car, both barns and in my outdoor kitchen. Who in their right mind (?) needs say, 5 exact duplicate pliers? Me.😂
ya snip the ends off with the sharp teeth and the shelll that shipped off wont go flyin everywhere supposedly;;;lol;;;;;usually wind up with a bandaid on fingers after shelling a bunch;;;;lol;;;;busted many of pecan with that little

Danny I love your idea of having memories at the cabin. It's a comforting feeling.
Great memories! I imagine Ms. Wanda has a bunch of good ones there, too!!

Morning y’all! I have 5 pecan trees in my back yard.
I’m glad someone likes to shell pecans. It’s a chore to me. I like buying mine at the store in bags of halves, already shelled. Unfortunately, they cost too much.
That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anyone use that part of the hammer 👍 now I’m going to have to make one of those for myself

You are just like my grandpa was. If he had an idea he could come up with a way to make it with materials he had.
Doing this on top of a barrel, imagine what Danny could do with a work bench! Love you guys!
I have the same nut cracker still in the box I got from my momma after her passing. Good idea with the box and all.....Thanks for the chat......00TG from Illinois....
Nice job!
Never saw one with the plastic on it. They work fairly good.
How cool is that!
We have an old wine cork shaper that we use as a nut cracker. I should see if it’ll clip the ends off the pecans before putting them in lengthwise.
Good morning 🌞
Thx for sharing enjoyed it Be safe God Bless
Thanks for the inspiration
Love watching your videos. ❤
Awesome yall hope your knee get better my right knee been hurting for 12 years off on had to have shot about 3 weeks ago feeling somewhat better never 100 percent

You should make those pecan shelling boxes and sell them!
Interesting champhering technique
I have a nut cracker just like that but need a box can you tell me what the dimentions are. Thanks love this.
12 inches long 10 inches wide
Great video, I have to admit when I seen the title I thought you were making a saltine cracker box out of pecan wood! Lol.
Great video! I need a pecan box! I have that same cracker.
👍 I wish I could do that
Don't throw hulls away. They are great to smoke meat with. I use them in my bullet smoker instead of my wood splits
I have heard that the smoke from pecan shells adds good flavor to meat.
Kind of like building beehives.
I use grape seed oil on all my cutting boards/ etc
I use coconut oil on all my wooden kitchen tools. Like cutting board, spoons, etc. I have some grape seed oil but haven’t tried that. Think I’ll use it next oiling. Thanks for the tip. Have a great weekend.👩🌾🦋
Morning
I think the dark colored part is used to clip the ends off first, then lay the nut in it like you did.
I didn't realize pecan were so healthy. What do they do for you? I learned something new.
I love pecans too - but as a dietary requirement? Id love to know too
One half cup daily is like taking a multivitamin.
@@DeepSouthHomestead I knew walnuts were healthy but great that pecans are too !! by the way Im a new sub from Ireland
@@fullofhope2222 Thanks for subbing. Walnuts are only healthy in small quantities.
@@DeepSouthHomestead yes I would eat 2 or 3 not every day
It looks like a batter cable.... 😂 Pecan battery cable...
You and I are the epitome of lazyness. I too have duplicate tools in my house, my car, both barns and in my outdoor kitchen. Who in their right mind (?) needs say, 5 exact duplicate pliers? Me.😂
Nice ASMR video 🙂👍🇺🇸
🧡
Danny That Is How I Oil My Case Knife With Soybean Oil And Wear That Knee Brace Do Not Be Hardheaded, Love Yall
Have u ever tried the inertia nut crackers? Can be a bit messy but is faster . On a good day I crack an shell a couple of pounds a day.
No I haven't.
👍
ya snip the ends off with the sharp teeth and the shelll that shipped off wont go flyin everywhere supposedly;;;lol;;;;;usually wind up with a bandaid on fingers after shelling a bunch;;;;lol;;;;busted many of pecan with that little
If you don't mind my asking, what is the nutrient in pecans that your body is needing? If it is too forward a question, please forgive me.
Half cup of pecans daily is the same as taking a multivitamin.
@@DeepSouthHomestead Thank You
I got something I got to send u. It's an antique one of those. We just have no needfor it it is actually still in the box
WOW Thanks
It’s not junk, it’s inventory!
Just a question why didn’t you make a wider middle board to give the pecan cracker a better base to screw to?
The box dosent need to be to heavy.
Danny is the tung farm still in operation? Its been many years since I was over that way. Its located near Slade fish hatchery.
No they pushed up most of the trees.
😁😁
👋😃
Bugg-out nutcracker!!🥜🌰
You've satisfied your inner Squirrel.
(Just please, don't identify as one !)
What is that you're using
Hi Danny and Wanda just wondering if you'd know if shop bought shelled nuts grow into a tree or would it need to be still in its shell to grow .
It has to be in the shell.
What do the pecans do for you, that you must eat them regularly?
Half cup daily is same as taking a multivitamin.
