Boy was this particular sucker a tough nut to crack!!!
So anyway, Tools of the Trade:
*Big stone mortar and pestle pounder
*Sharp knife (most people go for a cleaver but I'm a weenie)
*Big Screwdriver-important device to "flick open" top
*Paper towel to wipe up the coconut carcass fragments and the big mess you made.
Oh and big spoon and straw inside the already gorged on coconut :)
Truth be told this year was a first for me and b'day twin learning to open our own coconuts- prior we'd always had the luxury of someone else or paying a restaurant at $5-7 a pop!
...Been very industrious this year^^ There's a huge sense of satisfaction doing things for yourself :) Also considering I was born in a land of coconuts I feel it's something I was born expected to know how to do so I'm glad I can finally live up to this expectation, lol.

I've tried this once or twice. I don't know what you're starting with (nor do I even know the right words to clarify that - and am too lazy to research it right now). But I start with grocery store - small round balls (we're talking about the same thing?) You're not starting with the huge - not been touched yet - coconut?
Anyway.
hammer.

and the screwdriver works, too.
Good job. =)

That looks like so much work...but so fun to drink out of!
do you get these in TB?
coconuts yes. Never bought one though. Again, too much work for this lazy ass.
BUT...I did hollow out a pineapple and drink Malibu Rum out of it once.
