First attempt at a vinyl clock

[Rob]

Finally got around to trying to cut an old LP.  I just stuck a pattern on and started to cut but probably should have used a sacrificial piece to lend it some rigidity.  It cut very fast and was difficult to control.  Still fun but a long way from Frank's work.

I like that Rob they are tricky as they cut real quick you gotta change your whole cutting theory in your head and try and get it to relay to your hands real quick or one slip and it is done I like the way you have done yours though may have to use that myself lol I know someone with a labrador who would love that ,I know what you mean about rigidity as well but glad you have done one now you are hooked and can take over posting them from me and give our fellow villagers a break from seeing mine all the time lol.

Very nice! I have a yellow lab, I'd love to try that. A good one for my garage. May I ask where you got the pattern?

[Scrappile]

Off to a great start!  I sorta mentioned this to my wife.  She immediately said "don't even think about it!" as she looked over at her Victrola where the old records are stored....

That's pretty good I can imagine how it cut quick. Jerry

Stupid question i'm sure but have you ever thought about stack cutting it between two pieces of 1/4 inch stock so that the blade won't ut as fast and not to mention have a wood art piece as well???

No not yet but now you have mentioned it i will probably give it a go see what it is like I have stack cut 3 vinyls that slowed it a bit but you gotta go at a fair pace or it melts the vinyl behind you and you gotta cut it again lol
