I have hoses and gauges since i use my pump to vacuum down an AC system before refilling. I know it will pull a vacuum but i have no idea on what amount of vacuum. Guess i need to find a container.

I would think that once you got a container and have fittings on it to allow the pump to pull the air, your gauges should show the amount of draw. Just be sure you have a fitting to shut the pull to the pump off AND a fitting to release the vacuum.
As I said, it's easy to make a lid--and a pot with no dents etc on the lip should work as your container.

Nice stitching!
:tu
Looks very nice..
My repair skills aren't great.
My motto:
If it moves, but isn't supposed to, use duct tape
If it doesn't move, but should....WD40 it
Love it! Good motto.

Naval version:
If it moves salute it
If it doesn't move it
If you can't move it paint it

After Charlie's 2020 Meet, Tc drove me to the Oklahoma Airport and I flew to San Diego where my oldest and best friend's wife picked me up as part of his (Carl's) surprise 70th Birthday Party.
I hadn't planned on it getting darker sooner than from where I live--so when I walked up while he was unloading my bag and such he didn't recognize me right away--once it sunk in it was GREAT! I just wish that there were pictures!!
The actual surprise party wasn't until the next week and I was assigned to keep him out of the house while his wife fixed things for the party so I had him take me to two different Harley Davidson Dealerships so I could purchase T-shirts etc.
After we'd burned up the time needed I told him that we needed to be to a certain address between such and such times and he asked 'Why?' and I told him because I was told to.
Once there at the restaurant, we walked into about 60 friends of his who had come from all over/including his younger sister and her husband who had driven in from AZ.
Anyway--while I was there, we made some storage shelves out of old doors. They are secured with 'Pocket Screws' and seem to work well.
Nothing fancy but functional--

Carl didn't want to bump his head on the sharp end of the threaded rod so I put this to 'cushion' any contact------:w
