How to rip an old good vinyl

So you think ripping your favourite movies or music is easy, huh? What about classic vinyl then, how can you pirate this old school product with the size of a huge plate? Well, there’s one way :).

Step 1

001

Using the wooden strips, make a box around the glass plate. Seal off the edges using the window cement. Make sure everything is air tight.

Step 2

002

Place your record inside the box making sure that the portion to be copied is facing upward. Squeeze in some window cement to mark where the hole in the record is.

Step 3

003

Mix the silicone (Smooth On OOMOO 30 or OOMOO 25) for about 3 minutes before pouring in to the mold.

Step 4

004

Pour in the mixture. Start from one corner and let it fill-up the mold to about half a centimeter. Make sure it’s even. Let it dry for 6 hours.

Step 5

005

Peel off the silicone from the cast. Cut off the excess using a cutter.

Step 6

006

Pour the liquid plastic (Smooth On Task #4) on top of the silicone cast.

Step 7

007

Make sure that nothing spills over the round form. You can also brush off any air bubbles that might occur.

Step 8

008

Carefully loosen the plate from the silicone form. Using a drill press, bore a hole through the center of the plate. You can use the silicone form as a template to make more copies.



There you have it. Your very own pirated record. I can’t guarantee the playback though. Via Zeit.de.

    Yeah, but if it doesn’t play, you just wasted your time and money making a Frisbee.

    On the site it says the total cost is 60 euros, so I guess it’s cheaper just to buy the vinyl. Except if it’s a super-rare vinyl you ‘borrowed’ from a friend

    the author of the article is in so much trouble. not sure how many songs are on that old record, but with each costing $150,000, he’s going to owe some major money to the RIAA.

    Performance art/ Subtle humour is the best.

    It CANNOT play as stereo, I doubt if it will even work as mono recording.
