1) Find the right industrial environment where to do the dirty work.
2) Mix the compound (material shouldn't be too expensive - the cost lies in 
finding the guy who can tell you how to do it.)
3) Get the press (hasn't been used for 40 years, and AFAIK you can't use a 
"vinyl" press for that type of compound), get the heating equiment for the 
compound, the cooling system (big as a house), the cutter for surplus 
shellac compound etc. Have it all work.

I'll buy a few copies, unless you decide to cut a Michael Jackson disc, or 
similar.
Good luck!
