Does anybody have an idea on how to make a tiny little vacuum pump on the order
of an aquarium pump or so that will draw just a few inches of water? Preferably
110, but I can rig up a 12 volt supply if necessary.

Why don't you just get a foodsaver? (www.foodsaver.com). It will do the
vacuum pack as well as sealing the bag (and you can make arbitrary sized bag
as long as it's narrower than the roll of "bag stock." I've got one in the kitchen.

If that's too pricey for you, then there's always this one $14.94, not sold in stores....
