My name is Chuck Richards. I've had a lifelong
interest in Edison cylinder phonographs. Mostly
I've focused on recording one's own cylinders.
Back in 1978, I started the research which eventually
led to being able to make brown wax Edison blanks.
In 2009, I finally got the cylinder mold up and running,
and started casting blanks.
In 2010, they were first offered for sale.
It took 32 years of work, on and off, before I was
confident enough in these blanks to offer them for
use by anyone other than myself.

Well there's possibly little surprise here but my name is actually Stephen Miller. Yes, Stephen with a ph and not a v. Nearly everyone I've ever known and certainly friends have abbreviated my name to 'Steve' with my blessing and that's perfectly fine with me; no formalities here! Only my parents ever call me Stephen anyway!

Sounds familiar. When I was a kid and my parents called me by my formal name, I knew I was in big trouble.

May as well join in!
I'm Alex Kirtley (or Alexander Andrew Kirtley is my full name)
Joined this forum in 2012 (hence the user name

) I've had an interest in these machines since I was about 12 when I first saw one (now 16), I live in Whitley Bay in the UK and I'm a lover of all things to do with Gramophones and Phonographs, but also guitars and the odd banjo!
