Scrappile Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I was looking at Steve Good's forum this AM and there was a post on scrolling 78 records. I have really liked some I have seen and thought to give it a try one day. The gentleman that posted had made a video on YouTube on how he does it. It is a great video. It is here if anyone is interested. I was a little surprised when he told the blade he found best to use. A #5 reverse. I would have though a #1 or #2 for something that thin. tomsteve and Lucky2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I just got back from a woodworking show this afternoon and they had some works on display from various medium such as turned bowls, scrollsawn pieces and one piece was a beautiful plaque laid out with a scrolled record and musical notes. It was very well done. This is on my to do list this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 that's cool!! ya know, reading the title, I thought I was gonna read someone set a record for scrolling for 24 straight hours or sumthin. I set the record for sleeping the most at the scroll saw ,with a project in the saw and my foot on the foot pedal ,So far when my foot finally gets heavy and presses the switch i've never ruined a project when the machine turns on and wakes me up!!! tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimmerstutzen Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 some early 78's are brittle as can be and some titles are worth a bundle to record collectors. I had some early ones from the 1920's and early 1930's that were about 3/32 inch thick. Later ones were still brittle to an extent and were about 1/16 in thick. I bought a box of them at a yard sale and got over $100.00 for just two of them. (One was Bing's first recording of White Christmas, Apparently the original press die was accidentally destroyed and he had to re-record it, making the first one so valuable to collectors.) Now LP's were a dime a dozen and unless in mint condition with the slip cover and card cover aren't worth much. (then again, I came across an LP of Robert Frost reading his own poems. That brought $200.00 with no dust jacket or cover) It is strange what finds value in this world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have yet had the desire to try to cut a record, but I am sure after I go to Paul's and see some that he has done, by that time, I will be looking for some to cut.. Does anyone know if the 45's or 33 1/3 records can also be cut? Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Ha, you won't see any cut here, least not for a long time. My plate it full, and Spring is coming which means more time outside, less time in the shop. We have lots of old records, but I can not imagine Patti letting me cut any, better to have them just sit in boxes in storage. I would think 45'a and LP's would cut the same.

zimmerstutzen Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 LP's (331/3) are vinyl and might tend to warp and melt from heat. Certainly less brittle than 78's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
