I would like the plans for the walnut huller if you would please.

Some people use a hand crank corn sheller.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the walnut husk or the walnut shell, but I can discuss both to some degree.

My ex-father-in-law had devices to do both. For husking he built a drum from expanded metal (in the photo, the red device that looks like a barbecue grill). He mounted it on metal frame with a pulley and electric motor. He could drop in a load of walnuts, turn on the motor and sometime later the shells would be almost polished.

He also built a cracker (no photo available) that operated on the same principle as a lever-type pecan cracker, just much heavier-duty and a lot more leverage. But that darn thing would crack out walnut and hickory nut meats in halves--just exploded the shells. Never saw anything like it. If you're any kind of a fabricator you might try your luck at putting these things together.

Yeah, you'd have to know the ex-pa-in-law. Heck of a guy; didn't half-do anything. That thing has electric hoist; pullers; hot and cold running water, sinks, cutting tables, etc.
