Here is a great tool for gluing top braces . It has 2 pieces , on for the layout of the braces , the other is a HALO that will capture the ends of the braces as you glue up. That way the jig can also be used to mark the kerfing areas. Sure speeds up that part of the process.

Like it, looks like the halo could help in holding the braces still in a vacuum frame.
Will you be making a demo video?
