It seems I have a bit of a dinking problem.
I guess I’m just not cut out to be a professional dinker. We can’t all live the dinking dream. It’ll no doubt leave a big hole in my life.

Yes, of course ‘I’m doing it wrong', but this is just what happened when I gave it a go.
Perhaps in the right hands these tools are capable of producing perfect results every time, but it seems my hands aren’t the right hands and maybe my old records are just too brittle. However even if they did work perfectly - in my opinion they both take too long and risk damaging the records

Here is a video of a proper dinker    • Record Dinking Tool  

I've been advised by the nice people on Patreon that the first tool I used is actually something that was designed for punching holes in sheet metal - an example use for this tool was cutting a plug hole in a sink.

I'd like to state that MY DINKING DAYS ARE OVER - I just bought the Dinking tools to follow up the queries about dinking that were posted under the 1949 45s video. I've got no need to dink any more records so I've hung up my Dinkers to spend more time with my family.

FAQs
Q) Why the background music
A) Unfortunately the microphone was picking up some unpleasant asthmatic wheezing whenever I wasn’t speaking - so in editing I muted the audio in these sections. Unfortunately this made the video sound odd every time the sound cut out entirely. So I added background music off an old BGM system to cover up the abrupt audio level changes. It was either this - or delete the whole video and forget about it.

Q) Why does the BGM continue over the end credits
A) Total ineptitude

Q) Why didn’t/don’t you (insert suggestion here)
A) See section above where I mentioned how I’ll never need or want to dink another record. I only bought these dinking tools to do a video about dinking. I don’t generally play singles - other than these fifty scratched up 45s I bought via ebay for £10, I haven’t got any I’ve bought for listening to for pleasure.

Q) Did you know the rubber bits come off that vice
A) I didn’t, but I do now

PFAQ (Predicted FAQ)
Q) Why is there a picture of a cheese sandwich on screen at the beginning?
A) A while ago on Patreon I coined the phrase ‘A cheese sandwich video’ to describe a simple video that’s exactly what it is and nothing more - just like a cheese sandwich is a sandwich containing cheese.

A cheese sandwich video is simpler video that doesn’t take weeks to assemble. It’s usually a brief demonstration of one item.

If you see a cheese sandwich image pop up at the start of a video - it's a sign to expect a less complicated and elaborate video. Sometimes all a product needs (or deserves) is a simple demonstration - and that’s where the ‘cheese sandwich‘ video comes in.
