I finished a project this afternoon that I’ve been wanting to try for some time now. To make my own version of the GroovMaster label saver. Only mine costs under 10 dollars!
Parts List:
PVC Insert x2 - $2.85 ¼ x 5" Screw - 85¢ Bag of Wing Nuts - 95¢ Adhesive back Foam - 99¢
The red shrink wrap on the screw, I already had. The same goes for the drill press I used for the holes in the PVC inserts, those were tough to get centered.
It fits perfectly over the label of an LP or a 45 and no water gets in!
The GroovMaster version sells for nearly 60 dollars. Their website tries to make it out to be more than it is, perhaps they think having “precision-machined” plastic discs makes them worth 50 bucks. Oh wait, it’s also see through, that’s where the last 10 comes from.
it’s a couple bits of plastic, it shouldn’t cost so much. 30 bucks tops, that’s what I’d have sold them for.
Anyway, the finished product works incredibly well! I’ll still try and tweak it of course, maybe find a rubber washer or gasket(?) to replace the foam.
Gah! No time tonight, gotta sleep. Till next time people!
(Maybe reblog me a little, please?)
