We now have a 1.5gal vacuum pot and pump, just the basic Vevor 1/4hp 3.5cfm model. I hope to use it for resin stabilizing wood, but it can do a lot more. The lid seal is a bit loose, so you may need to press down on the lid while starting to get proper suction. The pump will also need to be filled with oil before use, I will pick some up next week. The manual for this pump is downloaded onto the Hackitorium computer, or you can look up how to drain/fill oil into a vacuum pump online.
Currently I've got it stored behind the Versacam, but it can be kept anywhere that will accommodate the pump/hose/lid. If possible, store the lid on top of the pot, so that the seal can't collect dust. Also note, this is not a pressure pot, please do not try to attach a lid to allow for positive pressurization, its not safe.
