J.K. Most DIY bagging vaccum pumps I've heard of involve a refridgerant compressor (out of a fridge, car, window AC, dehumidifier, etc). The household vacuum probably wont give good results, it moves a lot of air but doesn't create the low pressure that you need to really squeeze everything together in the bag.
We used vacuum cleaners for vac forming in school workshops. As long as you kept switching on and off they worked OK for the short time we needed to maintain the suction. Some vacuum cleaners have provision for an airbleed to prevent "cooking" the motor. I don't know if that would work for wing skinning though.
