I made a Kenmore canister to once. Surprise surprise lol. It was a cardboard box with a fan, an old hose from a kenmore and a napkin for the filter. I tried to cut and shape and tape it into the older Kenmore style canister. I sealed it as good as O could with duct tape. It did pick up some dust and dog hairs I was surprised it did that lol.

Vacuum Creations
Although I got a toy Hoover 63 for Christmas when I was 2 1/2, I also used to build vacuums with Tinkertoys and mold them with modeling clay or Playdough. Also used to cut them out of catalogs (after the new one came out and before Mom threw the old one away). Used to build lawnmowers and movie projectors with Tinkertoys and cut pix of them out of the catalogs, too. Jeff | ||

My toy version of Mom's Eureka upright....
When I was a toddler, somehow, I got my father or mother to buy me a toy carpet sweeper. I am amazed that this ever happened considering how embarassed my father was that his little boy was acting like a girl. What amazes me even more, was that at some point I connected a skipping rope to the top of the sweeper's handle in order to have an "electric cord," and Dad at some point installed two hooks into the wooden handle of the sweeper so that I could wrap up the "cord" for storage!!!!! In my imagination, if the skipping rope could work as a fake electric cord, it could also work as a fake hose! So I used another rope as a tool hose and used to jam it into the hole on top of the toy sweeper just like the real Eureka's hose! I remember pretending to use a baton as a "wand+dusting brush" because it connected quite nicely with the end of the rope and the round end of the baton looked a bit like a round dusting brush. Carpet sweeper, jump rope, twirling baton....hmmmm...how the hell did these toys make it into the toy closet of a little boy with no sisters? I guess my mother really wanted a daughter after all.... :-) | ||

Didnt make one, but
My Mums Vax 121 often came in handy in the garage when me and my sisters pedal driven Go Karts needed a top up of fuel. It was really like having our own garage. Either one of us would pretend to be a petrol attendant and fill eachother up. Then once we had done that we would go racing down the street like maniacs. When it was time to come back in we always used to stop to re fuel then pretend vac out the cars seats with the dusting brush on. | ||
