I saw this and thought it was pretty cool. I would only do it to a damaged album though.

    Fully decked out with disco ball and shag carpet?!?!
    I gut my 70's inspired basement this weekend. Dumpster arrives tomorrow. I just don't understand what you guys were thinking with the materials you used back then! :D

    What's the big deal? I used to get records that looked like that right out of the jacket years ago. :)

    They make good Frisbees, too, right out of the jacket. Don't use them for drunken fun in the hallway of the dorm unless you want a nasty gash in the top of your head. At least they say that's what happened. That's been 35 years ago so I can't remember. ;)

    With much warping, I doubt my Shure cartridge can track it.

    Fortunately, it's a Wham! album.

    Quit funny (only for useless vinyls though :eek: ) :cool: This type of bowl would be nice in the HT or dedicated room for the popcorn :cool: Need some nasty small bowls to do such with 45s but definitely would be cool.

    One of the attendees handed out these record bowls at Carverfest 2010. Pretty cool idea even though I hated to see records detroyed.

    I love how music can brighten up a bad day.

    The rim of Odd job's hat in the James Bond movie was made of a vinyl record.

    That's pretty cool! I've never seen that done before. I might have to do that with an old crappy record sometime.


    Anyone know if they'd be dishwasher safe? Would they get too hot?
