I saw something similar a few years ago. Lemme search my bookmarks.... Ah, here it is:

Vacuum Pod – Bellevue Woodshop

That is where this whole thing started for me actually. I built a couple of his design and it is pretty awesome except for the single clamping knob. It is hard to get at in some situations so I decided to see if I could do this instead. But I’m glad I started with Bellevue. Been good learning over all.

They also came out pretty good and work very well.

Did you come across this dude's follow up on the original Bellevue design? He added quite a few smart improvements to it. It's in German but I'm sure you'll get the gist of it. Built the vac pods with the incorporated changes and couldn't be happier.

I did see that one. Also a great source. I liked particularly how he mounted them to the mft. Which is how know running longer edge banding or spinning larger anything left me wishing for an easier knob to access. Festool’s design is good in that regard. But the other day I saw these new vacudogs, and those seem to be limitless with possibilities in my head.
