Anything goes! Inventors! Artists! Cutting edge solutions to old problems. But also non-commercial usage of record cutting. Cost- effective, cost-ineffective, nutso, brilliant, terribly fabulous and sometimes fabulously terrible ideas.

Hi troll

I had fun making this even though it took me 9 months well I'm slow what can I say he he :D

It was fun to make and yes it is easy to make but you must reading all the Infos from vinylike website and tips from flozki and others on lathe trolls,and some electronics
Experience mine is not professional just beginner.

Please be carefull especially with the mains power, if you are not sure or confident hire Caruso build services here. Don't risk use professional.

I added vu meter at the front, this was last minute decision it was a pain in the arse to Dremal the square hole but with patience I managed to do it.

Here is a list of where I sourced the parts, most of you know already but I thought I make easier for other people who don't know where to find.parts where sourced in Australia.

Hi Sillitoe thankyou

My next lathe trolls adventure will be making a diy head using off shelf speaker.

But first I needed to design my head, I will be doing diy 3d printer head in abs materials

I also have to figure out which speaker I'm using for the vibrations to the cutting stylus
