Subject: crafts using vinyl records
In reply to: BC 's message, "re: I was Wolfman Jack!!" on 10:25:40 03/07/11 Mon

This morning - after my bus route - I made my weekly "run through" of the music dept. in our local Goodwill ...
- 1/2 price / 50 cents per album!

So, I admit, I had approximately 20 albums in my cart ...
- the sales clerk asked me if I was going to use the LP's to make "bowls"?!
*** evidently a a "certain shopper" [who shall remain nameless - 'cause I don't know who they were] ?! :) ...
- anyways, the clerk said someone purchased approximately 75 LP's to make bowls to use on tables at some sort of "Bingo" game gathering?!!!

Amongst the collection of LP's in my cart this mornin' was Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album
- so you know my answer to the clerk's question! :)
"NO WAY!" :)

But, I was curious ...
- even though, I myself would find it next to impossible to even consider "melting" any LP's or 45's ...
- unless the records were severely scratched, broken or warped "beyond hope"
- I searched YouTube, and found some vid's of crafts you can make using vinyl records

*** Warning! Please do not attempt - nor even consider - this type of project at home before consulting BC! :)
- she might want to purchase them from you at a "reasonable" price to further enhance her "oldies" collection! :)

so, here's some "crafty" vids ...
and, an "oldies moment" for ya's!

- actually, I think they're kinda cool too Gigi!
in fact, I bought a very old / scratched "45" yesterday which I'm hoping to "recycle" into a "reasonable facsimile" of the coasters myself! :)

speaking of the "Coasters" !!! :) ...


- look who else I found with a very nice "cover" version of the original Coasters song - "Searchin' " ...
*** Paul is singin' the lead in this very early "Silver Beatles" rendition of the song ...
