I have a powerful vacuum motor and wanted to put it to use. I would hate for a great functional motor to go to waste. Any project ideas, excluding vacuum cleaners?

Vac-table for making Clone Trooper parts.
 
Nice, Lisa. I am into building things, but I can't think of anything with this vacuum motor. I need more help.

Vacuum table. You heat 3/16th" sintra up with a heat gun until it is flexible (or bake them if they fit in the oven at 450degrees for 2 minutes or so). And you put the sintra on a mold and a flexible top sheet lays over the top of the sintra, the vacuum turns on and sucks the sintra to the form and BAM insta-501st.
 
Very nice concept. Has anyone used this?
