Hello Clayarters,

I have lately gotten involved (as translator, etc.) in building a
de-airing pugmill from the plans in Harry Davis' book, the Alternative
Potter. If anyone has any experience with this pugmill, I would like to know
the answers to the following questions:

1. What size motor does it need?
2. What size vacuum pump/motor?
3. What's the vaccum gauge supposed to read?

Anybody has any good tips resulting from experience as to modifying the
construction, etc., it's not too late, and I'm interested.

Thanks,

Nikom in Thailand
