Dad said they just poured/dumped in the walnuts to remove the husks. I never saw it done. The walnut trees were cut about 40 years ago, starting to die and one had about a 1 foot dia. rotten/hollow spot inside. I do remember enough walnuts on the ground to hold the lawnmower up. We still have the corn sheller.

I'll let Roger know that trick. ( I used the corn sheller for corn only )
His late Dad had a lot of vintage equipment and I'm sure there is a still a couple corn shellers on the homestead.
