For a while now, I have been wondering about a cost-effective way to make 78 rpm records (either shellac or hard rubber). Everything is too expensive for my budget. what do I do?

Re: 78 rpm label
that's a tough one, especially on a budget!
there are some experimenters out there who have done shellac records from moulds, usually re-inventing an old process with available materials.
I can cut lathe cuts on plastic that are playable with fibre/bamboo needles, $75 each.

it's not a well trodden road these days,
good luck!
