I made about 400 ukulele using methods like this: Just the first 6 minutes - sorry cannot edit out the rest...you have an off button so use it

I do like the look of that Pete. The vacuum clamp really solves a lot of the problems of hand planing thin boards. Out of curiosity, when you built those 400 ukulele, did you also have the vacuum clamp, or did you have to work around mechanical clamps?

A short video of a vacuum clamp I’m developing. It uses a refrigerator compressor as the vacuum pump. Further refinements might include a reservoir (tank), vacuum gauge, and specific vacuum bases.
