I power my vacuum table ( http://www.raget.li/?p=42 ) with a normal vaccum cleaner (1500W). It is a box with one big hole to "connect" the vac. The top has a grid of small holes (<2mm). I cover the area which is not used with scrap wood the get a better vacuum. Works perfect for me. Cheers...

If you topcoat with epoxy you can layup a thicker plastic foil (e.g. PE does not stick, consitency like a freezer bag) and then squeeze out all air and excess resin. When the epoxy cured you can take the foil way and you will get a super glossy finish without dust problems etc. I hope it is understa...

I collected all my expenses for this project because I wanted to know how much it costs when it is finished. I am sure you know how it is: some bucks here, some there... Prices are in Swiss Francs (CHF). Maybe I have to add that the current exchange between CHF and EUR/$ is horrible at the moment (f...
