- Here's an oldie, but a goodie! A great way to turn old records that nobody wants into cool retro and quite saleable bowls - using free heat from the sun! As a proponent of zero waste, I don't like the idea of using power to heat an oven or boil water for projects like this - so here's how to do it with no energy cost :)

Gr8 idea mate. I got a shit load of old records from after my mum passing. Mrs been going in for years to dump them.
I need to do more of these next summer - they sell out in no time!!
@@TheUltimateRecycler great if U got a shop. I got hundreds of my mum records. 99% r rubbish. Been looking at different things I could made. Lamp shades, Bowles, clocks and tables. But have try sell online.
I'm doing it. I attach a single underneath in reverse as a stand. Connected with a biro lid as a plastic rivet
That sounds like a cool idea! 😃👍
Great idea, and one I've been giving a try. My problem is that when placing the record over a bigger bowl to melt into, one side always seems to drop down before the other, creating a very weird and asymmetrical bowl. Any tips? I feel like I've tried everything, even made a cardboard/tinfoil solar oven to help spread heat more evenly.
I did have that problem a bit as well. I guess unless the sun is directly overhead the heating is a little uneven. I think I corrected the issue by rotating the record every so often..
There are loads of countries that don't have sunshine and long long cold days.. otherwise its brilliant if you live in a hot country
Yes, that's true! We have plenty of hot summer days in Australia, so may as make use of them!
Saying that I had to play at an openair event with no shelter, I placed the first record on the turntable waiting for the band to finish. As they were about to finish I changed my mind on the first selected record and went to change it for another one. I went to pick up off the platter and suddenly realised it was hot. The record was at a rIght angle with more paw print on it... That was an expensive £20 mistake! And that was a summer in Sidcup UK!!! hAHA ;)
@@mr_diatribe2324 Wow, who knew it could get that hot in the UK??! 🤣
@@TheUltimateRecycler Dont knock it till you tried it! And I dont mean records + sun = disaster! ;)
The princess Lives in Victoria not a very hot part of Australia.
DONT HURT SEVENTY EIGHTS!
Unfortunately no one wants to buy most of them FF!
Apparently highly toxic gases are released then heating them, even on very low temperatures. I'm starting a research on this topic - highly advise to anyone wanting to try this to leave it, as it is highly canceroganic.
If you really have to please do it outside, do NOT use your oven at home, cause those gases stick to the walls there and you don't want that on your food
I do agree that caution should be used when heating any unknown substance and outside is always the best method! Let us know your research results.. 👍
@@TheUltimateRecycler I will do my best to send it to all the DIY videos :) will take 2 months though, as i have other projects in the line. But this one is getting more and more important, as it connects with the daily use of plastic in basically everything that we use and eat ant the effects on our hormones. This is insane, almost unbelievable.
i would only do this with records that are unplayable. vinyle is coming back now and 78s will sell to the right people and at the right price. maybe take them to record fairs that deal with 78s
We get so many records and even though vinyl is coming back - it does depend a lot on the genre! There are many that won't sell - to anyone - ever! Thanks for watching 😊
This is depressing to watch😅😭
And you're laughing? 🤣🤣
