Here’s a great example of a screw type nutcracker.

This one had no handle and had been applied to a piece of furniture or something. The hole for the screw had been plugged and dowels and screw holes were in the feet and body.

So after some time spent at the carving bench and some time spent on ye ol’ mini lathe, this guy is back to his original glory as a nutcracker.

I really enjoy bringing a piece back to its original form and glory.
