Hi,

I'm fabricating my own vacuum chamber right now. I'm using a
pressure cooker and 2 venturi pumps (PneuAire) connected to a
ordinary shop air compressor. I'm waiting for a reply from Maesco
for prices on their vacuum dial indicators.



Gang,
One word of caution here! Tanks and such designed for PREASURE don't
necessarily make good vacuum chambers! Catastrophic implosion can be just as deadly
as explosion! Please be careful! The best vacuum chambers I have seen are
just big enough to handle your need and made out of heavy lexan or plexiglass
Just be safe out there!
