Jim, I made one and it costs almost as much to make as to buy one and takes a lot of time. I built a Hobby VAC http://www.build-stuff.com/1001plans_hobby_vac.htm (from older plans - newer plans look better) Sold it to Mike Reno and I think he's selling it now.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a couple that I bought ( 24" x 24" $2500 and 13" x 18" $580) I was able to do 1/4 scale Minimoa canopy on the small one, but needed the big one for the Duo Discus. Here's one that looks like a good one if you are set on building one: http://www.runforcoverbooks.com/si/21746.html UVA has one of these and I used it for some very large parts as well as some smaller ones. It's a really good deal at $7500 and can do 6" x 6" or 24" x 36" parts http://www.kdcapital.com/Products/ProductDetails.cfm/ProductID/395479/Photos/1# If you want to stop by next time you are down this way and copy one of the ones I have, they would not be as difficult to build as I think the Hobby Vac is. You can get whatever sheets you need cut from Piedmont Plastics. I use my machines on a regular basis, so they pay for themselves. If you just need a part here and there or a canopy, just make the mold and I will gladly form it for you.
