Hi Malcolm,
I built a vacuum pump out of an old college fridge compressor - trying to do it on the cheap. I got stuck on the bag-to-hose interface for awhile. I finally bought some of the quick disconnects from veneersupplies.com and they've worked great. Here's a link the post I made on the Blue Heron Kayaks forum that shows the cobbled-together pump and the carbon GP that I made using it: http://www.blueheronkayaks.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1102
