Vacuum bagging

1700? I didn't think the vacuum was invented until 1901 :)
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.

the problem with household vacuum cleaners is that most of them depend
on airflow for cooling. If you try to maintain a vacuum with them, you
end up burning out the motor. They'll pull a decent vacuum (not like a
true vacuum pump, or refrigerator pump, even, but better than nothing),
but can't maintain it.

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.
