Cracking Walnuts

So after peeling off the black stain peels, how best to crack these nuts without ruining the meat?

Thanks!
She has passed away now but, my neighbor Frances threw them out on her gravel drive way, husk and all. When the husk started to pop, she ran over them with her car..Of course I never tried that, but she was 85 and it seemed to work for her..
 
If you are talking about black walnuts you can drive over then till next summer and not hurt them. There is a cracker in commerce, shirles I think that will crack them. I have hundreds of them if you want to pick up here in Jefferson

We used to do that, but put them is a burlap back to sort of contain them.

I've also picked them by hand. Made greatly appreciate black walnut ice cream.
