Yuri Suzuki's Easy Record Maker lets you engrave your own records

Created with Japanese publishing and toy company Gakken, the Easy Record Maker has a recording stylus that engraves sounds onto five-inch plastic disks.
"You simply plug in your iPhone, computer, audio player – any sound source – through the mini audio jack to supply sound to record your own record," Suzuki told Dezeen.
The compact record maker is designed to engrave five-inch disks, which Suzuki described as having a "nice lo-fi sound".
Suzuki hopes that the Easy Record Maker will help introduce vinyl records to a generation that has never experienced them.
The Easy Record Maker is currently available in Japan and will be available in the UK and US later this year.
