I wish I had artistic talent and a very steady hand, for years I’ve seen people convert their old vinyl records into gorgeous clocks and wall displays, but I’m afraid my art teacher was right when they wrote in my school report, “Janice tries very hard, but does not possess any artistic tendencies”.
So the idea of being able to use my Yora CNC Carving Machine 3018-Pro to carve my ideas into old records seemed ideal.
Having added the Yora 3018 Expansion Kit to make my machine a huge Yora 3036,
means that albums and 12-inch records will easily fit.
So, all good to this point. Just the actual process and bits to sort out…….
Well, I’m not going to bore you with all the testing of different bits I did, needless to say, there were a lot of disasters, ruined end mills and a lot of old vinyl going in the rubbish.
I will however give you some pointers on actually making a success of this type of carve.
