It also has these holes which i believe are from insects, I would imagine after stabilizing they would only make it sturdier but if anyone thinks otherwise let me know.

Large pvc pipe? Says "no pressure" but i havent ever had a tater canon explode. Hillbillies all over here use pvc for shop air lines.

Vacumn pump

Profit?

Maybe pull vaccumn on an old fridge? Im in about the same boat. Wanna make resin/wood gun stocks and furniture

I've seen it done on burl, essentially an old pressure cooker modified with a hand powered vacuum bike pump (reverse the seals) and some pressure hose if you're using resin.
Aside from that, timber hardeners have some ok results on certain woods

Hook one of these up to a jar.

Make a PVC pipe container, using Schedule 40 thickness, that it will fit into. Install a stem in it that tubing for a break bleeder tool can fit over. Fill the pipe with resin and use the break bleeder on it. Bring it to about 20-23inHg.

Follow the normal amount of time for that resin when being used in vacuum methods (google them.)

Once it is done, let air in and cut the top off to get the stick out so it can cure.

I use a break bleeder for pulling low pressure in canning jars for my dehydrated foods. You must use Schedule 40 thickness PVC or it will crack. The smaller the diameter you use the better. The shorter a piece of pipe you use the better.

What's with you goons and PVC? If I am pulling vacuum it's going to be in an iron vessel, go get a piece of appropriately sized threaded black iron pipe, two caps, some tape and a barb fitting. I do like the brake bleeder as a cheap, easy source of vacuum though. Oh, I am assuming you have a damn drill and tap, to install the fitting... That's probably beyond most of you fucks.

Because PVC is cheap as hell and doesn't require many tools to work with and does the job. You are not pulling 30inHg.

An iron pipe seems like a waste of money for what im doing compared to PVC, maybe if i needed a dedicated vacuum chamber and didn't live in apartments.

how much is a 4" OD ~24" long black iron pipe anyway?

>>1037461
risk of damage from catastrophic failure of pvc pipe as a vacuum chamber is fairly low.. now if you were pressurizing it.....
