Here is where you'll find some links to sites that we really love. Some are friends, some are companies that provide the the tools that we use and most are related in some way to our favorite subject... Nutcrackers!

It's an awesome tool and it completely changed the way we do our jobs in creating nutcrackers. The company is based in Durham, North Carolina (just a couple of hours down the road from us) and they are great to work with...

How about a trip to Germany for a tour dedicated to Nutcrackers! Helga and Jack van Horn are also new found friends who we've come to know in this virtual world.

The tool actually doesn't arrive for another month, but promises to bring our potential to an all new high. We like Universal Laser Systems. They are first quality and made in the USA just like us!
