I have given thought to it, but have not tested my theories just yet. Have a local foam store that I keep planning to visit, and never do.

Where abouts in Northern CA? There will be a roundtable meeting in So Cal, on February, 21 if you are interested.

Yep, I have done it, and it works well. I also bought one that can easily be duplicated.

Here is what you need.

1 4' section of 4" ID semi rigid vacuum hose

2 4' 8" sections of 2" OD semi rigid vacuum hose

a bunch of self tapping screws

a drill

a drill bit.

2 2" plumbers test caps

Split the 4" hose in half. Using tin snips is best.

take one of the 2" hoses, and use tech screws to attach it to the 4" hose. Make sure that both sides of the four inch hose are able to touch the ground or a flat surface. Drill some holes along the base of the 2" hose, attach a plumbers cap tot he end, and voila, a vacu boom. You will have enough material to easily make two.

You can also use some thin foam on the base of it, to filter out debris, if you want, and use a tube of fabric to hold it all in place.
