By assembling I mean I had to figure out a way to get the components organized and put in place. That is not rocket science. (I mounted mine on a piece of 2x8 with a 1x8 vertical board to hold the filter and guage and a hanger for the cord and hose with some small casters so I can roll it around.) I built three chucks using threaded lamp tube, PVC pipe couplings (2", 3" and 4"), some bearings and some wood. Instructions were provided. It drew about 22" vacuum. I decided I needed more vacuum so bought some replacement parts for the pump mechanism on eBay which put me up to 26" vacuum. The pumps are from old oxygen machines that people with COPD use. Mine works nicely and I use it for most every bowl I make. I thought through the design and consulted with the late Greg Haugen, then assembly and pump overhaul were just challenges that I enjoyed. Go to <a href="frugalwoodturner.com">frugalwoodturner.com</a> , I think the guy is still around. John</div>

<p>My daughter has really gotten into crochet lately. John inspired me to make her this yarn bowl. That cut for the yarn was a challenge.</p>
