I experiment with an diy record press and wanted to get some stampers out of my laquer cuts to make little release for a friends band.

So guys i want to warm up this thread a little bit. Long time working on my diy press. Thanks to mark and thomas for turning my brain on and collect some ideas. I am working hard on this project to make my dream come true: pressing some records like in your backyard or lets say basement. I have a ha...

Hey is here anyone who like to supply me with stampers?

Hi there! Is here any copy of the third edition around for sale?

I see your point but i am not in the situation to earn money with these equipment. i am more an enthusiast who quitted smoking and drinking and got some money left over now =D it is not always about the money. call me dumb but fun is also important and if there is a "customer" that i can make happy ...

Please let me know.
Happy cutting!

Thanks for your reply. Maybe i will try some masterbatch and grind it down to smaller size. Almost like powder

This one is awesome! Nice work! I am working on similiar stuff too.. I try to cut my pvc blanks glued on old laquers as a "master" and want to plate them like flo does in his experiment. But want to go realy slow with amperes in hope that it will not burn the silver layer. Nice to see that someone h...
