put the blackwalnut cookie on a string and holed it in front of the kid. when thay crack out enough for a batch of cookies they can have the one on the string.

Sounds like a plan. Gram's would probably intervene, though, and I'd end up with ANOTHER!! project! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Black Walnuts, heck around here the squirrels won't even touch them they are so plentiful. We take the Stihl saw to any trees that might drop nuts on the grass that we care for. We leave the ones in the wooded areas alone to do their own thing.

Here any tree is a good tree only thing that grows wild is sagebrush.

Water is Life!

i have black walnut trees all over the yard, nothing but a pain. i find the best way to get wallnuts for eating or baking is to BUY them. for me the effort is not worth the cost.

This is very close to what Id like to build for my tractor. I want to run the fan off the PTO instead of a gas engine. Where did you get the fan?????

JD hamer mill but most old hamer mills have a fan on them I use a case hamer mill fan in my shop as a sawdust vac runs on 2HP elect moter.

hamer mill? Whats that? I have seen this sort of fan on dust collection systems and occassionally see them as an item at the local salvage yard/machine tool dealer. Im keeping an eye out for one thats bigger than what comes w/ the conventional small shop dust collector.

This is a picture of a leaf vacuum I made. This is mainly a test for posting a picture. More to come if it works.
