Made these from some vapour barrier I had left over from a home reno project. They turned out really good. Fit super nice!

    I'm not sure that's a door I want to open. I did make a second set, and gave them away through the Rak'd thread in Lost Dogs.

    Nice job. The box set sleeves from sleeve city work fine for me. Maybe a bit big on some of them but they're great too.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    What did you use to seam the edges of the vapor barrier?

    A piece of aluminum bar stock, heated up in an infrared oven to 350 degrees, for about 20 minutes. Had a sheet of open weave Teflon protecting the plastic, so the bar never actually touched the plastic. I work in an orthotic and prosthetic lab, so I have lots of crazy stuff at my disposal.

    I've fabricated a jig to speed up the process of making these sleeves. If anyone is interested send me a pm.

    Not sure if this should be in here or in Lost Dogs, but I am selling these sleeves. I'm asking $2 per sleeve, plus shipping. So far I've sent a few sets out to US residents, and it's been about $5 via CanadaPost Lettermail. Anything more than 4 sleeves jumps the weight up over 200 grams, which doubles the cost of shipping. So bigger orders will obviously be a bit more. I've also been asked to make some for the super box sets, which I intend on doing. I'll post pics once I've got some made up. Thanks guys! I've got several requests in right now, so it'll take me a bit to get a bunch made up, but I have a lot of Vapour barrier left, and no other use for it...

    This is awesome - thanks Brothermoon! (so how many extra Vault sleeves are people buying?? I'm going for 8, but just how many of these are there going to be, and will 1 and 2 be released?? Hopefully you stay in business for a long time Brothermoon, lol, so when Vault 9 comes along I can order more. :wink: )

    And let me add, I cannot find a damn sleeve to fit my two No Code lp's. I just purchased the larger 5.0 version from Sleeve City and even those do not fit that gatefold. Annoying.

    This is awesome! My solution was to double sleeve the records. I took the fattest sleeve's I could find (marketed as for double 180g albums) and it fit over the record but came up about an inch short of cover the whole gatefold. I took a second one and put it on from the opposite side, so together they protect the whole record. It ends up being a bit of a pain when I want to listen to one of them tough.... Putting a sleeve over another sleeve is more frustrating that you would thing :)

    PM'd you :)

    Well that escalated quickly! I've got enough people interested to keep me busy for a while. I would guess a week or two turn around maybe. I hope everyone is ok with that...

    I think I'm gonna have to teach my son how to make these things too.

    The sleeves for 3/4 are slightly bigger, being 3 record sets vs. Vault 5's 2 records. I have also assumed 6 will be a 3 record set. The bigger sleeves fit fine on vault 5, just not quite as intimate as I like my sleeves. So if 6 is only 2 records, the bigger sleeve will still fit nicely. Just an FYI.

    I requested a No Code sleeve along with these Vault sleeves... Brothermoon is a very accommodating fellow. :)
    Seriously, once I have a sleeve to fit No Code better I'll probably play it a lot more. I think I've been avoiding it just to get out of fighting with the fucking ill-fitted, too-tight sleeve I've got on it, lol.
