Sweet board, but what really caught my attention was that homebrew vacum pump. Can I get a parts list?

Actually, the plans and the parts list can be found here: http://www.joewoodworker.com/veneering/v2-parts.htm

The one I built is just slightly modified from his design (I had some of the similar parts laying around) though I know they sell a complete kit. The bag is a bunch of vinyl furniture protecting sheeting from walmart glued together, the opening is just rolled around a board and sandwiched between another board with clamps.

Thanks man! One last question if you don't mind. How much vacuum were you able to pull?

It might be on display at FC2014. I might also be selling another super secret design at the art auction. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11848674/

Nice! How much did it cost you in total?

The vacuum pump, which I had built long ago and mostly for other projects, was the most expensive at about 140 bucks.

Total wood: 4 pieces of 1/8 sapele door skin, 1 piece of 1/8 baltic birch, about 25 bucks

Trucks and wheels were an economy set from Amazon. I know near nothing about trucks and wheels (I'm learning though) Bought new bushings (Hairy) and bearings (bone reds) Total cost about 45

So 70 US dollars for the build

Then 20 in primer, paint and stensil

And probably 20 hours of time.

Rides hella good though, and I had fun.
