I should "temper" my request for advice.. I have everything to learn.
As of now, still in its box, is a Calif. Air pressure pot. The 2.5 gallon model.
and well, actually the only "requirements" size wise are 1.5" square or somewhere about 1.25 round.
So, can I just use the pressure pot for Stabilization of typical punk wood.
For certain, I have so very much over extended my budget... way over.
There is so much Info here! And I am "blown away" by the ART and skills seen here. I had no clue!
Have been copying quite a few posts to a Notebook document !!
I would hate for anyone to spend much time at the keyboard trying to help!
Should admit.. that I am not particularly skilled at modding/retrofitting, etc. which is why I went with the Cali Air versus HF. LOL!

I see you are fairly new to the forum.
First off, you should introduce yourself and define what it is you are intending to do!
A vacuum pump is for removing residual air from something generally for stabilizing. A pressure pot is used for putting items under pressure not vacuum. Vacuum will create bubbles and bubbles have a tendency to seize up vacuum pumps if you dont see them before they get in the tubing. That is why vacuum chambers used for stabilizing have some method for seeing what is going on in the chamber.

Yes Sir, I do understand that part
Did intro a little while back.
Currently my turning is Game calls. well, actually that was some years ago.
Have made hundreds of them! but always typical Wood species.
I have been watching a lot of ytube videos. I get the impression that a Vacuum setup is not 100% required.
funny how I am completely unprepared to turn Pens.
I will probably be a bit of a pain.. trying to assimilate so much info !
PS formally from Calvert City, Ky. loongg time ago!
