Mini vacuum forming help

For the budget minded, I built a well-working little vac table awhile ago using common parts from Home Depot. If I remember correctly, it's about 24" x 18". Excuse the hand-sketch, but hopefully it helps someone. Believe it or not, with good technique, it actually pulls pretty good detail. I use my oven though for heating the frame+styrene. I've been wanting to attach an upper heating element so that I can slide the frame quickly right down to the base. Keep in mind the size of the material you will be buying when figuring out the dimensions to keep from wasting a lot (Styrene sheets usually come in 8'x4' sheets from manufacturers).
