There's a tutorial, that you first use a brush to get rid dust, second a satin block, then washing in the machine, then drying with micro fiber clothes. And then duplications.
+GarageWoodworks As I understand it, it also depends on whether or not it is physical or electronic media. A physical object you personally own, but with digital music you are only purchasing the right to use it.
I got two acetate discs i'm going to cut music onto and I'm going to try this method to make a permanent copy because acetate discs are really soft so they degrade pretty fast. Very helpful vid!
That audio came out unbelievably crisp and clear. I'm old enough to have had lots of original 45s and some 78s that didn't sound that good. Excellent results David!
Terrific video David. I suppose the next step is you could do both sides and bond them together to get a 2 sided disk. Seems like all the vinyl being made today is quite thick, makes for a more stable disk. I've just gone back to vinyl, and man is the sound out of this world!
When I realized what you were doing, I got to thinking that the theme to Mission: Impossible is what you should have been playing in the background. 8-) Would have never thought of doing this but interesting to see that it does work.
You are the total package! I love how the video encompasses the story the project and the extras on your web site blend it all together. Using RUclips to guide us to your website! This is modern maker 101!
Just about the most perfect sound track to any video I have ever watched. Awesome project too by the way. I love that you are pushing into new materials.
for even better results degas the casting medium, both the mold and finished product, and level and spin the cast while it's curing, you'll have uniformity in thickness and consistency. The same way that polymer layers are spun onto a silicon wafer for all associated manufacturing processes.
I went over to the website and was amazed at the quality of the "pressing" made from the mold. I wonder if the process was perfected a little more, it might produce even better sound quality.
+finallyonethatworks That's actually a thing. It's called vacuum degassing. It sucks all the air out of the resin and silicone to produce a bubble free finish. You can also do the opposite and pressure cast, which instead of sucking the air out, it compresses it out of the liquids.
Fun idea and project! There are a lot of ways to increase the quality of the cast, such as cleaning the record, degassing the silicone before pouring, using a pressure chamber to shrink bubbles in the resin... ah well maybe those are all too difficult :) Id also try pouring the mold on a vibrating table to settle the silicone into the grooves better. And yes for the people asking, you can make a 2-sided mold pretty easily.
Not exactly a "duplicate" but you were able to reproduce the sound so I will say this is an excellent proof of concept. I was hoping for a 2 part mold with both sides of the record for casting. Thanks for sharing!
The audio reproduction is remarkable! Having worked with liquid composites for many years, I can suggest that the clicks and pops are from air bubbles. I'm guessing that reprinted 45 is in good shape, so it's unlikely it hasn't been abused like many older records, so that tells me the clicks and pops were caused by tiny air bubbles. Looking at the grooves with a magnifying lens will verify that. The way to eliminate air bubbles is to avoid introducing them into the liquid from moment one. No fast stirring of the two parts. Then do more of what you did when you used a brush, but instead of a sponge brush (which can easily introduce air bubbles), first use some sort of scraper (like a credit card) to push the wet plastic resin along the length of the grooves, then pour in the rest and use a bristle brush to even the layering and remove the larger bubbles. Bottom line is that it's a fun, if expensive, hobby project.
For anyone who is wondering about the sound, on the record, the original creates an indent of the Grooves of the record making the stylus read it like the actual record.
I saw a guy on RUclips use the same process but, he put the rubber and resin in a vacuum chamber first to get the air bubbles out. This made a clean copy without the static. He said the air bubbles were what was making the static and Proved it. Plus, Clean the record first before copying it. But, Your process sounded good. Where do you buy the rubber and resin at?
This give me an idea to “Fix” some old cracked record (specifically 78s). I would imagine the bump of the crack would still be there but not broken with a new copy.
I would wash the master record before.
I thought the exact same thing, lest all that dust transfer to the mold.
There's a tutorial, that you first use a brush to get rid dust, second a satin block, then washing in the machine, then drying with micro fiber clothes.
And then duplications.
Honestly just mould it twice. The first would remove all debris from the record and be discarded
That is cool. I'm going to try this with my old VHS tapes. Should work right?
+GarageWoodworks It'll work on most of the Police Academy videos for sure and anything staring Bobcat Goldthwait.
I do this with my blu rays
@@justahungarianguy does that work
@@theechickengamerz u srs?
NO
Illegal actions are completely acceptable when done in such a cool way. I think Johnny Cash might even approve!
He's dead so I don't think he really has a choice now
+Tom Nicholls lel
You're allowed to make copies of music you personally own.
+MonkWerks with Fr. Thomas I think you're right. I thought it was always illegal even for personal use.

mr cash himself would say, "son, that was pretty bad-@ass."

So cool, David! I was really curious how much detail it would hold, and am impressed!
Awesome !!!
+jimmydiresta Thanks Jimmy!
+Make Something what jimmy said.
THAT IS EFFFIIING AMAZING!! Had no idea that was even possible!!!
Cool idea, cool video, cool music (The vinyl and the video)! Thumbs Up!!
When I realized what you were doing, I got to thinking that the theme to Mission: Impossible is what you should have been playing in the background. 8-)
Would have never thought of doing this but interesting to see that it does work.
This. Is. Awesome.
The sound Is great.
Well done Mr Piccuito.
You are one of the few people I see using Smooth On products, good for you, I love their stuff. And awesome idea!

Ok. You got me. I had to go to Make Something web site to listen to that track. It was surprisingly good. You sir, are a marketing genius.
+Michael Robinson RUclips wouldn't let me put the full song in the video so I had to put it on the website. :)
Nice work!!!! I am amazed at how good it sounds
and even better that a musician is showing a method of Pirating music, You Rebel you
Haha! Supercool David :-) And many thanks to the awesome Lance Neil Hulsey!
+Maurice Blok Thanks! Lance is a local friend. Great musician!
Fun video. The silicone really did a great job at cleaning the original. It looked spotless. Keep it up!
Slick! I wouldn't have thought that would work.
Just about the most perfect sound track to any video I have ever watched. Awesome project too by the way. I love that you are pushing into new materials.
That was much cooler than I anticipated from the title.. Nice work :)
I can't believe how good that sounds. Nice job!
That is so much fun - and I never would have thought to even try it. Thanks for the cool video.
Way cool David! AND Sun Records is here in my home town. Memphis TN :) Nice job.
You continually amaze me with your projects. Super creative project. This is what making is all about.
This put a smile on my face. Well done, thanks.
Thanks for mentioning this one on the interview today. It's one I missed while looking through your back catalog last year.
Thanks for your questions and participating!
og piracy
Well done! I bet this was a fun video to make.
That's amazing. I wouldn't have believed it was possible
+Robin Lewis I was pretty blown away by how much detail the silicone mold can handle!
So good. Shocked and impressed at how well that worked. Great video and write up too! Now I just wanna listen to Johnny Cash allllllllll day.
that's kind of awesome ! i wonder if people actually did that back in the day??? good job man
Excellent! Really digging your branching out
You made that look so easy. Great job David.
A great video, David! The first seconds with that music, I felt like I was watching a Tarantino movie. ;-)
Awesome video. I have been watching your videos for awhile now and just recently learned we live in the same city.
After rewatching some of your videos idk how I didn't figure it out along time ago.
+Brandon Loach Howdy neighbor!! What kind of stuff do you make?
+Make Something mainly wood working. I only been doing it for about a year on and off.

This, while frightening as a collector is awesome!
This isn't woodworking!! Ha! Great project mate. Rather original actually. I'm impressed with how good it sounds!
+Bruce Allen :) You're going to see a lot less woodworking on this channel in 2016 and a lot more experimentation.
Can't wait to see what'chya got in store! +Make Something
Cool stuff. Cool way to make your own records to give out at music meets.
Still sounds mint. Awesome.
Unbelievable sound. this was really awesome. Good vid, David.
That is just plain awesome! Sounds pretty good, too!!
Awesome David!
Amazing how good that sounds - great little fun project....Scott
This was badass!! Go you man! Can't believe how good that sounds.

That's awesome. Had no idea this was possible!
OU JEAH. You got a hit on your hands right here.
Cool! I hadn't thought to make a copy of stuff that I'd be worried about being damaged.
that was a top notch idea and video! high five
Not exactly a "duplicate" but you were able to reproduce the sound so I will say this is an excellent proof of concept. I was hoping for a 2 part mold with both sides of the record for casting.
Thanks for sharing!
All for the fun and experimentation of it!
I think my head just exploded. ......yup it did. Awesome job dude.
Hahaha! Thanks!
I Make some of My own 78`s, This is very interesting indeedee! Very nice!!!
Can you hear the difference in thickness? That's a really rad video David!

Very interesting and cool project, David!!
That was great! Sound quality is really impressive for how was made too.
Absolute Awesome Sauce!
The only thing that could have been better was to copy the "B" side.
What a fun project!
Very cool!!! Thanks for the link to the silicone rubber - I wasn't sure what that stuff was called.
Awesome! Sounds really good too!
didn't know it was possible! cool! keep doing awesome stuff
This is the most awesome project ever !!! Fing awesome !!!
+RoboCNC Frees- & Graveerwerk Thanks man!
Loved this video style and the music too!
Great job!
Dude, that's cool! Great video!
Love this even more, after I listened to it! Looking forward to your next project!
Very cool. The process to achieve that was very inspiring. Thanks for sharing this.
Nice work, and very intriguing concept.

that was reay cool dave! that sounds pretty dmn good
Many others have said it but I just have to too. That was awesome and it sounds surprisingly good. Cool vid and nice write up on your website.
Sounds great! cool video, love Johnny Cash, love that song
Just tried that with my CD collection... Now all my music sounds like justin beaver. Damn! Cool vid man!!!
Thumbs up from me!!! that's brilliant!
Wow impressive!
Are there copy kits you can buy from an online retailer so you don’t have to make a frame or soder off the edges?
Cool project!
Getting into a bit of pirate action there David! good one Arr!
Really cool idea.
very cool. nice job kid.
Hi! How durable is the record since resin is softer than vinyl?
Great stuff! Love it!
hi can u write down exactly what materials are mixed and what liquids are mixed exactly pls cause you are mixing two things both times thanks
Pirating the expensive way! Love it!
The most terrifying horror movie ever shot! I'd never do such a thing to one of my vinyls! :)
Wes Farias literally harmless
Would probably be benificial cleansing the groves
That's awesome and I love Johnny Cash classics are the best!
Well that's pretty cool, didn't think the silicon would be that precise/ then again I haven't heard the finished thing yet
Great!
Could this technique be used "back then" ?
Crazy cool!
This give me an idea to “Fix” some old cracked record (specifically 78s). I would imagine the bump of the crack would still be there but not broken with a new copy.
