Thanks for posting this! It convinced me that I could build a T-21 and has been a fantastic resource.
One question that I'm still struggling with: what size PVC should be used on the receiver/body? The tutorial mentions 2", although standard 2" schedule 40 PVC seems too big. The two options I've found are 1.5" PVC (just under 2" OD) and 2" tubing for a central vacuum system (exactly 2" OD, thinner walls). Anyone else run into this and have a better option?
