Tools: Vacuum Bagging- Show me your home-made setup

Hello everyone,

I am trying to make a vacuum bagging system as low-cost as possible. I have found a pump, but I'm looking for a pressure pot setup. Hopefully I can find a good deal on a paint pot, but thought I would pick your brains on what you've done for the "catch can" between the bag and the pump. I was actually thinking about an old pressure cooker and just tap it for the lines.
