What's the smart way to shell walnuts, I've got lots.

There has to be a better way than sitting down with nutcrackers and spending
ages to produce a tiny heap of bits.

Decades ago my auntie had a nutcracker with a flat base that could
stand on the table. You put the nut in with one hand and pulled a
lever with the other. With a bit of practice it was easy to get up to
one nut a second. There is one called the "Rocket Nut Cracker"
available in the USA but I can't find a UK supplier.
