DIY Vacuum clamp

Post by Chardo »

Just came up with a vacuum pump. Does anyone know of any plans for making your own vacuum clamping setups?
Thanks

I just veneered a couple of coopered doors with an inexpensive hand-powered vacuum pump - available at:

I've made my own vacuum pucks for certain projects. They hold quite well.
