what parts are you looking to make??? you might not need a vacuum bag setup, if you do need to vacuum bag the part you're making then your first step is to get a VB setup, a good setup will run you over $1000, this includes a vacuum pump hoses clamps, peel ply, bags, sealant tape, you might also want to consider a stethoscope to "listen" for leaks, vacuum gauges, regulators to trap moisture and control pressure, quick disconnect fittings, etc.....
Of course none of this includes materials and resin for your mold and materials for the actual piece you're making.
I'm not trying to scare you off but over all expect to spend well over 2grand to fabricate a small piece using a VB system or over a grand to hand lay the same piece, good news is that this would be a one time initial investment, the more parts you make the cheaper it gets and soon you'll be able to make a profit.

I couldn't have said it any better,have you got a mold made yet,or are you using a factory piece as the guinea pig,

i'm gonna make a jacket off of it LOL jk
some of my friends always dump their junk parts at my house and after a few years I have to get rid of them.
I have no use of it. I thought about wrapping my PS3 with it, but I'm afraid I'll **** it all up.
