My students have made a number of these.  It is the second favorite event
in our annual Physics Olympics.
The usual plan is to cut a 3-4 ft diameter circle from plywood and then
put heavy duty building plastic on the base to hold the air.  We then cut
holes in the plastic.  Cut a hole in the plywood for the nozzle, insert,
turn on vac and away you go.  Experiment with hole size in plastic.  Let
me know if you need more info.
