What a great idea, looks like fun.  I can think of all kinds of ideas for different patterns.

It will be interesting to see how that old 'vinyl' cuts!

I'm assuming SLOW saw speed and packing tape...but the tape would pull up the existing labels!
BUT..if you are just cutting the 'grooved' part you wouldn't have to cover the 'label'.

How about cutting the outside design as a 'banjo' for BlueGrass or Dixieland fans?

The possibilities are endless.....

And the best: those Techno phono disc they produce today are perfect for this - can't be played afterwards and no harm to the music!

Hey GB, If it were me, I would sandwich the vinyl between two layers of Baltic birch or some cheap plywood. That way you don't have to worry about scratching the groves or catching the blade on the vinyl and breaking it.
Do you have a pattern?

Nothing solid just yet...I just saw it in an email a friend sent me about things people make when they think outside the box...
Playing with the idea of the St. Louis Arch, musical notes, a trumpet and the word "BLUES".

Just letting my very fertile imagination run wild....

That's a great idea GB, but I would sure hate to mess up an old Beatles collection..

Never thought of that.  Awesome potentials there.  Now I just need to locate some records.

You know it's kind of funny, They are issuing albums again. My son got a record player for Christmas last year, and already has a small record collection of modern music!

I've got a few "vinyls" that could live a better life in a new design ::)

I cut some old 78's a year or two ago and stuffed the blades, vinyl may be different.
The teeth  just disappeared.

Neat idea.
I'll bet those old records can be found CHEAP at almost any thrift store that gets donations, to resell for pennies on the dollar. I just brought some home from the senior center that they wanted to get rid of. Often they will have books and magazines and even CD's and VCR cassets we can pick through before they go to the senior thrift shop to be sold.
I didn't want to keep them and took them back.
So NOW you tell me Gray Beard! Argh!!
LOL

You can also take any record and fake the center label into an interesting one. SO you do not need to cut your favorite ones to get a special art piece.

Hey GB I was on another site last night digging up new patterns and came across a CD that had been cut looked pretty cool as well but they said they had put it between some papper and stack cut them this way they would not weld togther which got me to thinking you may need to put it between two this pieces of scrap and stack cut them...

Any large city or metropolitan area will have all kinds of places to search for 'vinyl'...Thrift stores, rummage sales, garage sales, etc. In my area we have three stores that specialize in 'vintage vinyl' although those places have only the ones that may be popular and could be pricey. I have even found brand new, unopened albums in those places. Also remember the 'book' sales at libraries...they often have old vinyl they are getting rid of in favor of CD's.

I think Charlie has been struck with this idea! He's asking for old albums on Facebook...Right Charlie?!?!?! I can almost guess what he is thinking...

Wow what a brilliant idea.  I look around the markets to find some old vinyl because I'm not using my own.  ;)

No used junk store in town?
My town only has 2 gas stations, but they have 2 "thrift stores".
How far to the next town Charlie?

OH my that's a really small town if the Dempsters have street addresses!
Sorry Charlie I just couldn't resist. (Dempster Dumpsters get it?)
Here I thought I was out in Podunk City, it's only 45 minutes to the next sizeable town, it's the county seat and the only other incorporated city in the county.
We're all a bunch of backwoods yokels here.
