Anyone cutting 16" records?

I was wondering if there is anyone offering 16" cuts? I was approached by someone to make an embossed poly 16" record and I'm honestly just not up to doing it and was wondering who I could refer them too?
Thanks,
Graham

I could have 16" blanks made in pvc or polycarbonate. This would be a special order. The discs alone would not be cheap. And, you would have to pay for an entire sheet to be cut up into 16" blanks. So, not just one or two.

I can fit a 16" disc. I can also do this sort of cut. For an appropriate price of course!

Opcode66 can you pm your contact information? I can make the blanks and cut the record as well but am too busy to make the custom size blank and spend the time on making a 16" record now. I'm unsure of the total number of records for the order. I was just approached to have it made. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

whoa, I'd be interested to know who wants to get this done, and how much they might be willing to spend.
It's definitely a heavy work load especially in any sort of quantity.

Tragwag,
Should I put them in touch with you? It's a band called +Hirs+ and I don't know the budget. I've made a couple of records (7"s, 10",11"s) in the past. I'm just not able to commit to a 16" record at this point but want to help them get it made.

Ah, I know of the band actually. Let me do some research on the matter before you send them my way.
Thanks!
