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. We've not yet taken their tour, but we are quite intrigued with the idea! Click Here to learn more about Posh Tours!
There are only a few Nutcracker Makers here in the U.S. While a couple of folks claim to be 'American Made', in reality, several of these folks simply buy blanks from China and paint and assemble the 'kits' that are produced of very poor quality. Beware of those!!! I will attempt in this block to link you to the 'real McCoys'! These are true craftsmen that I've checked out and found to be authentic. I'll not yet claim this block to be comprehensive, but if you are looking at products that claim to be American made, and they are not listed here, then they probably originate from China!

A few years ago, we purchased a CNC machine (Computer Numeric Control). Basically it's a computer-controlled router. 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...

Our newest addition to the shop is a Laser Engraver. The tool has arrived, we've been trained and it is unbelievable! This tool will bring our potential to an all new high.
