Laser-cut Vinyl Records Made to Order

First, thank you Mr. Suddard for the privelege to post this.

So Ive been collecting records since my first punk/ska show at the age of 15, back in 1998.

Since then Ive been hooked and, at times, 'hooked' in the worst way, where Ive bougth, literally, a thousand in a ten day period.

But some were junk, just meh.

So I have all these records and a bought a big lasercutter a while back, why not make stuff out of it.

One reason was I was making stuff for a friends punk band and thought, "I wonder if I could do a design with their record..."

Anyway, here before Christmas Im making some gifts and thought I'd offer this here for sale.

Im asking $4 per record and you get (if you want) ALL of the record - the 'cut' part and the overall record of which it was cut. And if you want the record sleeve I can, likely, include that too. All for $4.

Shipping will vary on location, but typically close to 8 dollars for one to most places in US.

Also, I try to match up the record with the design - ie: GALVESTON for the Texas or Religious albums for the religious-themed cuts etc

I cant ALWAYS do it, I only have so much, but I try.

Here are some Ive made so far, many of them were because people asked me to do something special for them.
Im making each night for folks and will update as I go.

I'll first post the Godzilla one and will show the 'extra' part which you can have if you want when you buy, as an example.

GODZILLA

South Carolina

North Carolina

Virginia

Texas

Michigan

Ohio

New York

Three Crosses Up on the Hill

Im working on various things now - basketball goal (I madeit last night but still tweaking), musical notes will be done tonight etc. I'll add as I go through.

Shipping is pretty quick, final date I'll be shipping is the 21st, which should make it to *many* places in time for Christmas. But youre always welcome to order (and by order, just message me ha) anytime, not just a holiday thing.

Dood, that's berkeleying rad! You add aircraft profiles, I'll definitely buy a few.

That is so dope! I gotta have some! Message sent

Or car silhouettes? Say something that looks like a mustang on a copy of mustang sally? Or a pagoda on a janis joplin album?

I would be interested in a guitar cut out of a Van Halen record

That's way cool.

Definitely need Elvis' head cut out an Elvis record. 

What file type are you using ? 

or what file type can you convert ?

I too am interested. I have the album, can you cut the specific design I want?

I do have a spare Elvis sitting around...

I can use a variety of files to convert, best thing is just to email me so I can start playing with it.

I did more last night and will try to get pics up today of what I cut out for some folks on here and elsewhere

Just message and I'll get to work tonight and this weekend. I plan to be very busy this weekend getting ready for Christmas and working on these.

I appreciate all the kind words and such

I thought it was neat, thought I'd share

Quite possibly, really depends on what it is. Just shoot me a message or text (anyone can) at336 239 6607

Woah, that's really cool.

Eh, that'll be difficult. I dont currently have a copy of that and doubt I can get one quick enough.

IF you had one, youcould ship it to me and I could

I shipped out some to some members here yesterday, more going out to GRM members today

Here are some things Ive been working on/sending out.

Some more states (GA, TN, AK, NY), Star of David, Crosses etc

Im on vacation right now, though I brought some stuff with me (a few various states, musical notes, maybe one more Godzilla etc)

But Im home Friday and will be working late that night to get last minute orders out in the mail on Saturday

Depending on where you are, VERY possible to get something by Christmas still.

Email/Message and I will be working on things while on vacation so when I get home it's ready to just start working

Find a niche, fill it, or make one yourself. Bravo dude, very cool and very creative.

Terrific idea. That's a great side business to do through Etsy.
