Vacuum Clamp System for Acoustic Guitar

Bridge clamping jig and complete vacuum system. Notes: One of the things that I noticed after I made the video is that I keep referring to the flexible silicone part as a gasket, and it should be called a membrane. Also, this sucker is heavy as all get-out. I think I might either add some wheels or put it on a furniture dolly to move it around. The rubber feet were to keep it from jumping around the floor, since the vacuum pump does vibrate a bit. Also, I do not take credit for this, nor is it my invention. It is a conglomerate of some ideas online fro veneersupplies.com and the book "Do It Yourself Vacuum Forming" by Douglas E. Walsh. Here is a list of some of the parts from the video.
