As it turns out the program for the NWAAS January meeting is going to be at least partially about some DIY projects.  One member is going to talk about DYI aquarium stands, and I'm going to show how to make a vacuum pump and a water pump from PVC pipe and fittings.  There may be other topics also.  I did test the water pump today, and it did work.  Come and see how to do this simple project.   Denny
