First video?! Sir, you did an outstanding job--succinct, clear and uncluttered. The music enhanced rather than distracted from your presentation. I'm just plain amazed.
Hi, I am a retired machinist without all the toys but my std. drill press and this guide will serve me very well making wax duplicates for casting silver. Great video my friend. Clean and simple !
Oh ya, I sub'd ya up too. For a young fella you seem to have the "HANDS" and imagination to gather up this world and make something of it. It's going to be fun(I love the "F" word) to watch you grow. Subbin me back would be an ok thing to do and if ya like silver, c'mon over !
I've held 28.9 in.-Hg but that's all I can do as I'm slightly above sea level but most won't go passed 25 to 26 unless they are at sea level or have a ridiculously strong vacuum pump.
This is the first time I took the time to comment on a youtube video....very well done...lots of detail yet to the point with the length. Gave you a thumbs up and subscribed , also for the first time!
the milling technique is brilliant. maybe i would have used a pouring method to fill the channel, but this is the cleanest building procedure i've ever found around. Great job.
I can tell you right now, at 2.141 Subscribers, that this channel with this awesome video/production quality is going to blow up very soon! Instantly subscribed! Keep it up! Greetings from Germany
Great video Anthony, your skill and knowledge is plain to see. For a first video this one is better than some with years of experience. Your audio and video are top shelf. I'm looking forward to your next videos and I have subscribed so I want have to search for you. God Bless my friend.
made one just like yours. I used a router with a acrylic cutting bit (only like 15$). I cut out the acrylic with a circle jig... just a scrape piece of wood. And now i'm at the stage where i put on the silicon. I noticed that you had to cover the holes in the stock pot with silicon!
Just Sub'd! Man, if this is your first video, I can't wait to see what content you have coming up! I really like how you gave alternate solutions, for example... it's ok to use a drill press or router if you don't have a mill. The tool tip about not plunging end mills was great too! Keep that kind of helpful content coming! GREAT FIRST VIDEO!!!
i really liked your video style, seems like you are very well equipped, im sure you can do very cool projects!.. looking forward to the next videos and congrats on this first one!
I am obviously too lazy to do this because I have no tools whatsoever.... (And also because I have no idea what the terms you mentioned in this video, but wow! Just this one video made me subscribe. You have amazing camera gear, commentary and content. You have great ideas and i'm proud being a subscriber. All I ask of you is to make a new video please...
i subscribe channels because of a single video very very rarely but this just seemed so professional and well made video that i just decided to smash the subscribe button (in a matter of seconds after seeing this video) and give a thumbs up. (btw it really surprised me that this was your first video) Dude, you really know how to make good yt videos :)
Thank you Havu! It's comments like these that push me to get the next video out as soon as possible! You're awesome and thank you for taking the time to write up a very nice comment :)
Awesome video. The audio over the video that gives a description as to what you used/did during that step is why I subscribed. If you could just add a link or part # part size to the material your using (I know I’m asking for a lot) it would turn it from great to spectacular! Lol
At 3:45, it looks like there're some blue blobs inside the pot. I assume those blobs ensure that there's no leak around the rivets/bolts that hold the handles to the pot?
Terrific video. I thought it was interesting that you seem more concerned with removing bubbles from the mold material than the resin. I always get voids in the casting material.
Thanks for an excellent video. Seems like a pretty simple thing to put together. I just gotta figure out how to do it with tools I have access to. I've got about 20 vacuum / air compressor motors sitting around. Most with be turned into scrap metal but would like to do something with a few. So I figure the best place to start is a vacuum chamber and pressure chamber. LOL
Great video, first one I've seen that actually build's a vacuum chamber from common parts 😃. Most started with a pressure pot and converted to a vacuum chamber. This I can make. Thank you.
Good one! Tried making one with syringes but not worth the time....You cannot pump to that point by hand. Some day I might try to do one of these...super cool!
Anthony, excellent job for your first video! Your craftsmanship is impressive! Maybe you should consider making an "instructable". Im planning on making a vacuum forming table and your video helped explain the vacuum chamber very well. Plan on doing more videos! You got the nak for it!
Thank you so much Blake, for the kind comment! Comments like these inspire me to push out more. I currently have an Instructable I made in the description for more information if you're interested. Stay tuned for the next video in the works.
That joke sucks! ;) Very good work for your first video... let's hope you do plenty more. They always say "thou shalt not mill on a drill press". But you're right, if you're working with light plastics... it's fine... I've done it a couple of times and my tiny little drill press and I are both still here.
A spritz of a mild solvent to your silicone and squeegee would help to get it nice and smooth. It will act as a lubricant and prevent the pulling you experienced. I usually use wax and grease remover.
This is beyond awesome 😎👏🏻 really a professional video, I was shocked to read it was your first 0.o. I wanted to see how I could build a vacuum chamber for my resin projects , they are turn out bubbly ,and the project doesn’t let me put a lighter over it ... so it ruins my pieces every time . But by the looks of all the valves... I don’t think they sell those here in the Netherlands, and as a new start-up I can’t afford an all ready made vacuum chamber . I started my projects to help out my husband with income. I have 2 small kids under 2 and a small disability 😅🙈 so was actually thinking of using one of our old cooking pots with a glass lid ...
With 2 valves, you could seal in the vacuum, disconect the pump and then walk around with it. When someone asked you what was in there, you could say: "Oh, nothing...."
might be an idea to use an old propane tank as a vacuum storagevessel when running a smaller vacuumpump , using this you can run the vacuum some time in advance and have vacuum ready to reach full vacuum inside the vacuumchamber pretty mush immediately
Good first video! Informative with clear step by step instructions. My only criticism is that you haven't provided a material list showing what you used such as the type of silicone, resin, where you got the pot etc etc etc etc... (I will definitely be building one of those vacuum chambers though. I hope it doesn't suck to bad.....)
First video?! Sir, you did an outstanding job--succinct, clear and uncluttered. The music enhanced rather than distracted from your presentation. I'm just plain amazed.
Wow thank you so much for the kind words it made my day!
One of the easiest vacuum pot ideas I have seen on youtube. Great job on first video
Hi, I am a retired machinist without all the toys but my std. drill press and this guide will serve me very well making wax duplicates for casting silver. Great video my friend. Clean and simple !
Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback! Would love to see those wax duplicates when they're done!
Oh ya, I sub'd ya up too. For a young fella you seem to have the "HANDS" and imagination to gather up this world and make something of it. It's going to be fun(I love the "F" word) to watch you grow. Subbin me back would be an ok thing to do and if ya like silver, c'mon over !
Well thank you! and already done!
All I need now is a pressure cooker pot as I need to de-gas some larger things/ mixes. What kind of - numbers will the pot you show handle ?
I've held 28.9 in.-Hg but that's all I can do as I'm slightly above sea level but most won't go passed 25 to 26 unless they are at sea level or have a ridiculously strong vacuum pump.
This is the first time I took the time to comment on a youtube video....very well done...lots of detail yet to the point with the length. Gave you a thumbs up and subscribed , also for the first time!
Thank you so much Allen that means a lot, I'm very grateful :)
the milling technique is brilliant. maybe i would have used a pouring method to fill the channel, but this is the cleanest building procedure i've ever found around. Great job.
Very nice work Anthony.
Thanks for sharing you knowledge and sense of humor
So glad Nick sent this to me .... Your video was lawless and very educational... Thank you ..... Protect your DIGITS
Lucky to have him as a friend really cool guy! Thank you for watching my first video and I will (Have to be careful from the evil avocado lol)!!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback Tm Grade! :)
Excellent YT video, exceeding the quality of many vetran YT uploaders. Subscribed and Liked.. Instructables enabled me to find your channel.
Thank you Insprionator!! I'm fortunate to have you as a subscriber!
Nice build mechanics and we all loved the circle jig for the polycarbonate.
subscribed
For a First video, it was highly professional, and extremely informative.
really clean, professional work. Wish I had the space and money for a mill and laser cutter like yours!
Just ordered my vacuum chamber yesterday. TH-cam algorithm is slow! 😊
Nice job, man. You have a great knack for teaching.
The crickets was a nice touch. Nice vessel!!!
I need to make one of these and you made it look so easy. I didn't realize it was so simple. Awesome work and video, Anthony.
Thank you Sean very much appreciated! :)
Wow, the quality is great for your first video.I didn’t know that this is your first video until you said it at the end.
hey how do you pronounce that name? got a buddy has same name but only spells it with 10 of whatever that char is...
Nice first video! Looking forward to watch what comes next
Thank you Yannis!
Awesome video, Anthony! Great project too! Welcome to the world of youtube, I can't wait to see what you've got coming next!
Thank you Braxton! I'm excited to get the ball rolling so I can really be a member of the community!
I can tell you right now, at 2.141 Subscribers, that this channel with this awesome video/production quality is going to blow up very soon! Instantly subscribed! Keep it up!
Greetings from Germany
Wow for a first video this was absolutely amazing
Nicely done! And as you said, all of this can be done with a drill press too-more accessible to more people.
Great Build that Sucks!!!! Really man, your video editing is great and narration is on point. Keep them coming about one per week.
Hahaha thank you Bennie! :)
Well done!! I intend on making one myself (using your video as a guide) to make plastic car parts. I thank you !!
Dude you definitely deserve a like. This video is the one I was searching for, man. Really loved it.
I like the way you did this video! cool camera shots too.
Thank you Pariss =)
Very nicely done ! Simple . Short, informative, nice sound and lighting! Pleas make more vids !
Nice video Anthony please keep them coming very informative easy to follow and understand
Thank you Keith!

Wow thank you Frank I really appreciate that!
good stuff, I can't believe this was your first video.
You are genius! Superb vacuum chamber.

Great set up of Toys .You must love it there.
that smokey acrylic looks GOOD!
fantastic video! im looking to build a vacuum chamber for dry storage of my flour and oatmeal. I love this idea.
Thank you Beth!! I would recommend you use food safe silicone instead of automotive gasket maker as it will omit gasses when it's holding a vacuum.
Just Sub'd! Man, if this is your first video, I can't wait to see what content you have coming up! I really like how you gave alternate solutions, for example... it's ok to use a drill press or router if you don't have a mill. The tool tip about not plunging end mills was great too!

Thank you Craig for some great feedback! Comments like this are very encouraging and push me to get the next video out quickly! Thanks again!
i really liked your video style, seems like you are very well equipped, im sure you can do very cool projects!.. looking forward to the next videos and congrats on this first one!
Thank you Daniel I really appreciate the feedback and words of encouragement! :)
Great video...and creative methods. Look forward to more of your ideas.
Thank you John I appreciate it!
Impressive. I put a filter on the other ball valve so when I open it to releive the vacuum, impurities won't be sucked into the chamber.
I am obviously too lazy to do this because I have no tools whatsoever.... (And also because I have no idea what the terms you mentioned in this video, but wow! Just this one video made me subscribe.

+Machine Right You're welcome 😄 you deserve it because of your awesome videos
+Machine Right btw when will your second video come out?
great video, just what I needed to know, will be using my pot to impregnate timber with resin for pen blanks
Do you sell these ?
Very high quality for you first video. Really good work. Hope to see more from you. Subscribed.
Thank you Michael!

Thank you! Check my instructable link in the description, Has everything you could want!
For your first video your shining bud.
You did a great job showing us the construction of this gadget. Excelent video and I hope for more.... Well done!
Cool build. I have a couple of old cooking pots. Now, I can do that 👍😎
Fantastic man! Really glad you got this out! Keep going!
Thank you Bob I really appreciate it! I'm really motivated to get the next one out =)
hey bob!
Maximilian Hausermaier Hey!
Pls do vid on laser if you're still alive
Your job is very nice and clean and simple. I like it. Can you please tell me how much vacuum can you achieve with this device?
Your first vid? Wow dude! It's really polished and professional. Great job! I wanna dry this build and have some fun with resin. :)
Thank you for the kind words shidorikuroko!
I wish that God blesses you with pride for this unbelievable video !!
Great tutorial. What was the source of supply for the bulkhead fittings if you remember?
Awesome video Anthony !!!! Very cool vacuum chamber and the quality of your skills shines through on the video great work I can't wait to see more
Thank you Patrick that means a lot to me =)
i saw you here
Hi Anthony, great Make! I like your calm narration. this was a very easy to understand video. Thank you, pierre from New Mexcio
Wow that was a fantastic video - first timer !!!??????!!!! I'm blown away great tutorial and easy to watch - you'll go far young man ;)
Haha :) thank you so much for the kind words I'm glad you enjoyed my video
Loved how you kept it simple and easy to follow and affordable thanks going to subscribe
this is an awesome tutorial. I am getting a 3d printer and I am looking for a homemade degassing chamber.... awesome work.
I love it, but tell me something how do you secure the top with the pat? That part I don’t understand, thank you
Instructive video. But where can I get all the hardware and parts you used like the vacuum, fittings and so on? Thanks.
Dude this is epic. Nice editing. Nice filming, shots... everything is perfect. DO MORE !!!
Midom thank you so much for the positive inspiring comment! You made my day :)
No worries! Seriously now. Please make more videos. Be active! I swear to god you will grow so much faster than other channels.
Hopefully! :)
At 3:45, it looks like there're some blue blobs inside the pot. I assume those blobs ensure that there's no leak around the rivets/bolts that hold the handles to the pot?
Good eye and you are correct, I noticed a tiny leak overtime so I just sealed the handle rivets
Nice video, well done for first time.
Thank you Gene!
Please make more!! Honestly the best project video I've seen in a long time!
Terrific video. I thought it was interesting that you seem more concerned with removing bubbles from the mold material than the resin. I always get voids in the casting material.
Great video! How large a pot can this method be used with? 5gallon? Larger? Thanks
Thanks for an excellent video. Seems like a pretty simple thing to put together. I just gotta figure out how to do it with tools I have access to. I've got about 20 vacuum / air compressor motors sitting around. Most with be turned into scrap metal but would like to do something with a few. So I figure the best place to start is a vacuum chamber and pressure chamber. LOL
great, clean, smooth job! I'm planing to build a car engine oil extractor similar to your project.
Thank's John!
Love the humor. Great video
subscribed halfway through - keep at it. you have the gift
Great video, first one I've seen that actually build's a vacuum chamber from common parts 😃. Most started with a pressure pot and converted to a vacuum chamber. This I can make. Thank you.
Bold not having a rubber glove over those stitches.
Great sense of humor. Great shop. Great friend.
I'd love to be able to get a vacuum pot like that.
It was hard getting a glove on so I risked it all!! Thank you sir!
Good one!
Tried making one with syringes but not worth the time....You cannot pump to that point by hand. Some day I might try to do one of these...super cool!
Very professional video Anthony. You are going to have a great channel.
Thank you Ted. I really appreciate it man
didn't think of the metal pot! thanks for this video! it's very useful!
First video.... excellent ! I’m subbed
Thank you... thank you... thank you. Here In Brasil the vacuum machine is very very expensive. You save my live($$$$) hehehe. Thank you so much MR.
Thanks Everton! I love comments like these! I just want to share my knowledge as it may benefit someone as others have done for me.
awesome videos and awesome screen presence bro you will go far
very clean job! well done
Good video detailed display of vacum chamber now I can make one thanks
Wait, what? This was your first video? Crikey. Thanks!
Anthony, excellent job for your first video! Your craftsmanship is impressive! Maybe you should consider making an "instructable". Im planning on making a vacuum forming table and your video helped explain the vacuum chamber very well. Plan on doing more videos! You got the nak for it!

i can't wait to try this out I was wondering if you might know what thickness i would need for an 18" pot?
for the lid
Good video. Where did you get your gauge and valves and fittings from?
well explained ,,great job ..superb result regards from the u.k.
Thank you ManBehindTheWheel!
I am having a hard time finding the bulkhead adapter you used in the video. A link to that would be amazing!
That joke sucks! ;)
Very good work for your first video... let's hope you do plenty more.
They always say "thou shalt not mill on a drill press". But you're right, if you're working with light plastics... it's fine... I've done it a couple of times and my tiny little drill press and I are both still here.
What is the mix you use to make the silicone rubber you poured to make the negative that you poured the resin into ?
A spritz of a mild solvent to your silicone and squeegee would help to get it nice and smooth. It will act as a lubricant and prevent the pulling you experienced. I usually use wax and grease remover.
Wow! Yor first- nice beginning.
Thank you Doug!

Come on. First video? You did it like pro. I would have guest you had been making videos for quite awhile. Nicely bone!
Thank you Jim you're very kind!
I really liked this video, looking forward to seeing more from this chap, well done
With 2 valves, you could seal in the vacuum, disconect the pump and then walk around with it. When someone asked you what was in there, you could say: "Oh, nothing...."
That's your first video? Oh my, feels professional! Have a great time :3
might be an idea to use an old propane tank as a vacuum storagevessel when running a smaller vacuumpump , using this you can run the vacuum some time in advance and have vacuum ready to reach full vacuum inside the vacuumchamber pretty mush immediately
You have quite the selection of TOOLS. End mill, laser engraver etc...
Good stuff - Will build one for my projects. Thanks
Good first video! Informative with clear step by step instructions. My only criticism is that you haven't provided a material list showing what you used such as the type of silicone, resin, where you got the pot etc etc etc etc...

This is awsome for your first vid. Nice chamber too.
