In Response To: Vacuum bagging on the cheap (Brian Nystrom)

: Brian,

Somewhere on the 'net I read about someone using a shop vac. for the vacuum source - another alternative if you can't find a refrigerator compressor. (If I remember correctly, one has to have a little "leakage" to prevent the motor from burning out).
