1 finger nutcracker

grabcad

Design for a (wall)nutcracker that can be operated with 1 finger...Goto the Mp4 to see how it works...No need for any force, just place the nut. lift the (5kg heavy) top block with one finger and let gravity do its work...To avoid shrapnel flying around, i have added two aluminium pressed side skirts...The only thing you need to build this are two pieces of (heavy) oak, a heavy duty hinge, a door handle of some kind and some fixings...likes are appreciated...
