This took a lot less time than thought.
Tank is from Curtis Seebeck at Turntex. The suction part is a refrigerator compressor with a tube hooked to the suction side coupled to the tank inlet. It pulls 28 mmhg without a sweat. Compressor $40, tubing $4, brass connector Free because it was the last one at Lowes and the clerk got tired of looking for a price! The tank was made for me so I'm not including the price for that. You really smart guys can do this with a Mason jar. After stabilizing, the blanks need to be baked off to cure, so my wife found a toaster oven at Goodwill for $4...it works great although I hope to toast a bagel while my blanks are cooking. There is a large box of stuff in the shop that needs stabilizing so more pics when that happens. Thanks for looking!
