How to make How to crack a coconut

With one hand firmly holding the coconut, hit it with using the back of the cleaver. Very important to make sure noone is behind or beside you.
Turn the coconut around and continue to hit on it until you see a crack-line around the coconut.
An 'old' coconut will have thick and hard pulp. Don't force it open with your hands. You will end up having coconut juice splashing all over.
Use a fork or spoon to poke in-between the crack-line into the coconut.
Twist a little to force open the coconut.
You can now drain out the coconut juice from the opening.
Open up the 'top' of the empty coconut to scrape out the pulp.
If you have problem opening up the coconut, use a knife to cut the pulp first.
You will be able to open up the coconut easily now.
