Vinyl Album Mail Racks.


I decided to make some mail holding racks using the albums.

I took some vinyl records (the larger size) and tried to melt them in a pot of water...I didn't have a large enough pan, so this did not work very well.

I then turned the oven to 350' and put a bowl in it. I left the door open and half the record out of the oven as I wanted to melt only part of the album. As soon as it started to melt, I grabbed it out and bent it over a board.

The next step was to drill a hole in it for hanging purposes. Finally, I added stickers to label it mail. (I tried painting first, but the paint ran along the grooves and it was a mess.)

I made 6 of them so far.
