Made out of 55 gallon drum. Made a wood "lid" with a door in it for open side.

Vacuum hooks to the side. Switch turns on vaccum (plugged into the outlet) and light.

Had a home made one once. It was made out of a pharma cabinet...leaked like a seive and I hated it. Swore up and down no more home made for me. I found great one at a swap meet that needs some love. It's waiting for the shop to be built so I can restore it..lol. I'll see if I can take some pics, it's buried out back

Here's mine. It's worked well for me for over 30 years. Modifications during that time have included switching from syphon feed to a pressurized tank and various lighting and vacumn systems. I have the window glass cut at an auto glass shop and they usually last a couple of years. I plan to modify the stand next to make it easier to move. If you're wondering about the short "arms" that go through the front door, I use gauntlet gloves that are the full length of my arms. They snug up against what you see in the photo and no sand dust escapes the cabinet. It works great.

Here's mine during it's assembly.

I found it in the clearance section at Summit. They're normally 200 bucks but I got it for $75 in a tore up cardboard box. I couple of corners needed straightened out but it works like a charm.
