*if you're reading this, *DONT ruin a vinyl record that's in good condition, and especially one with the cover also in nice condition. Ask around for ones without covers that no one wants. A lot of records will NEVER be made again, it's like taking a Greek or Egyptian artifact and making loafers from them.

[@TheLabOtomy]

Of course...

[@deckerraul2946]

A trick : watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@jaspergunnar1439]

@Decker Raul yea, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself :D

[@KCCAT5]

I paint mine irregardless

[@davidgarrity9711]

Yeah that makes sense, have a load of records, gonna chose which stays and which gets slaughtered cheers

[@justahungarianguy]

As much it hurts to watch this as a record collector, it is surprisingly nice

[@amelindehernandez4792]

I make things out of records but take a little more time and effort to find ones being sold for decorative use only! They no longer have good playing quality so its good to repurpose them into something cool! I am also a singer so maybe that is why I am more bothered about it hahaha

[@covenantkachi2652]

Hey bro I have over 408 vinyl records

[@paulag775]

I can't believe it can be this good

[@donnatrobaugh1676]

Love the birdhouse

[@TheLabOtomy]

Thanks

[@GuardianAngelWatcher]

The birdhouse actually has inspired me to make a fashion accessory! Thank you so much!

[@TheLabOtomy]

Birdhouse meets fashion accessory... nice!

[@GuardianAngelWatcher]

@@TheLabOtomy lol! Sounds funny 😆! When I saw you folding the records w/ suck crisp lines, I thought, “this is like paper art!” And immediately a specific shoulder bag popped into my brain! I think it will be awesome, very rock a Billy/punk.

[@TheLabOtomy]

@@GuardianAngelWatcher Already sounds good!

[@peterduffield221]

The black vinyl would get so hot in the sun it would roast the chicks to death

[@HappyWaggs1959]

Genius.

[@Taran-d.B.23]

Am i the only one who never used a Phonestand line this ?😂😂😂 I allways have to think at this when i see such diy shit 😂😂

[@TheLabOtomy]

😂😂😂😂

[@Alexlee-si4zc]

the bird box is very cool

[@TheLabOtomy]

Thx

[@cornelmasson4610]

The chair!

[@TheLabOtomy]

More aesthetic than 100% useful to be frank (top vinyl layer is susceptible to scratches, like caused by a pocket rivet). Made 2, sold 2. Happier to have gotten rid of 20+ vinyl records in the process...

[@nellyjane21]

Yes !

[@TheLabOtomy]

Indeed!

[@MarinalvaPortella]

# 3 is awesome

[@TheLabOtomy]

Surely is! Although cannot remember what it was (and cant be bothered checking)

[@CastlesForEyes]

I was recently thinking about recycling hundreds of these. But I have a heat gun, so might as well make something.

[@TheLabOtomy]

Nice, be creative!

[@mattyp2155]

I want to lay my vynal down as flooring how would I go about that

[@TheLabOtomy]

Steady / dusty free underground + vinyl layout + protective / levelling coating

[@007VALD]

HI!!! Greetings from Germany!!!

[@TheLabOtomy]

Appreciated, greetings back!

[@hookahpro90]

Well...... The song was cool

[@ritawjoyce]

Beautiful clock. Really struggling to find right size clock mechanism. Could you recommend a good website please? So far I have ordered 3 different sets from Amazon and each one either the hands swung around after fitting, the central prong was too short or the hands were too short.

[@TheLabOtomy]

My place of choice is the thrift shop, I can see / feel / estimate on the spot

[@aninnalapentti754]

Hi! i have been getting more into crafts lately and wanted to do something like the decorative chair you did. I was searching for used vinil records but can't seem to find any. Is there an app or a site that you can recommend? I see you have answered many comments so I thought it was worth a try! ☺️

[@TheLabOtomy]

Have you tried thrift shops? There are literally 1000s at my local one...

[@IRONSILVER22]

Heating vinyl releases pretty toxic fumes, be careful.

[@oreofambam5670]

I started make art with old records during the pandemic. looking for other ideas. love these!

[@TheLabOtomy]

Nice!

[@01chippe]

This is akin to making coffee tables out of old pinball machines. It’s just not right …

[@KKC-zy6nd]

[@margaritatequila5822]

Very cool!!🥰🤗

[@erikasturquoisefeather4721]

Hmm, toxic to put food in contact...wouldn't that make it toxic for birds? And how do you clean it every year? Oh and how to bake the eggs!

[@markn3verm1nd27]

That hurts because I have more than 10,000 records

[@TheLabOtomy]

I feel you

[@markn3verm1nd27]

@@TheLabOtomy yup I'm a kid that also loves speakers but the most I love records just feels illegal to watch that

[@NJ-76]

great ideas and great video .... but the music is unnecessary, much better just with the work noises!

[@musicisitall]

als je de muziek die op de platen had gestaan had beluisterd had je iets van je eigen geschiedenis en cultuur geweten.

Plaklara nasıl, nereden ulaşıyorsunuz? Fiyatları nedir?

[@johnadams2063]

U could roof a house with them

[@TheLabOtomy]

Anything to get rid of them works for me, thanks for sharing!

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Really love the bird house idea! I made a few bird houses from old, non-vegan cookbooks that turned out great. This is another way to use stuff that would otherwise be thrown away to rot. Thanks!

[@TheLabOtomy]

Thanks for sharing

[@sakioentertainment3004]

But there is a huge problem records do melt in the sun

[@MCPIPOL]

glue name?

[@TheLabOtomy]

Construction adhesive

[@isahart60]

What did you use to cut the vinyl records?

[@TheLabOtomy]

My homemade hot knife. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpDHn4J9hM6baqc

[@naturalbornsew9276]

What your did you use?

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

This doesnt even make sense

[@digidoridvideos3672]

Pvc pipes and arts i guess......

[@gremlinjr2]

Hmm Interesting .. and ALL Crap I'd Never do ........ ;) ......... Bird house is really Interesting though ..

[@kellycole3401]

The bird house could poison them

[@thehelendickinson]

Seriously impressed

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

He wears gloves to use a blow dryer but not for using glue...and a saw

[@carlomezzatesta4659]

What I saw you make wasn't cost-effective, what with the price of electricity any tool that gets hot uses lots of power. Has to be something with a higher value, but we're on the right track !

[@TheLabOtomy]

Thanks

[@cornelmasson4610]

I've still got my dad's collection of ancient records, some of them still 78s (which are thicker, harder and don't bend). I was thinking of using some of the records as table placemats. Might be a good idea to finish them with a few layers of spray lacquer.

[@TheLabOtomy]

Nice idea of reuse! And a few layers of spray lacquer can definitly help to protect the vinyl against scratches, good luck!

[@jeffclark6988]

I'd check the value before gettin into craft day😜

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

Wow how clever you are 🙄

[@vuksamotnjak03]

Dam u you just destroyed old Yugoslavian record 3:18

[@TheLabOtomy]

Ooops

[@ricsmi01]

Curious to the brand of heat knife you used?

[@TheLabOtomy]

This was custom made actually, see kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpDHn4J9hM6baqc

[@vuksamotnjak03]

Srry but that is useless vinyl records are like vine, older they get much more money they will cost and those are classic not like today:/

[@TheLabOtomy]

I see

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Why does it never occur to people like you, that if we're doing this to a record it's because we simply don't care?

[@01chippe]

Just because records get older, they don’t increase in value. I have records from 1912, they aren’t even worth $1.00. I have many Victor Red Seal record from the early 1900’s, and they are single sided. They cost $2.00 when they were new. The price iss on the label itself. They are worth less than that 100 years later. I keep them because it’s a piece of history. And they still play perfectly fine.

[@vuksamotnjak03]

@@01chippe not everything is about money 🙁

[@01chippe]

@@vuksamotnjak03 You are the one that said the older a record gets, the more it is worth. I was saying that isn’t true.
