Thanks. This is really useful. Being a Brit, I'm quite familiar with the expletive: "Bugger!" (plus a few others, of course). It's more unusual to hear it in an American accent... and quite endearing. I've been thinking of purchasing a vacuum chuck for some time but I'd be a fool not to try this first. If I succeed, it'll save me a few quid or, if not, Ebay it is. Thank you.
There is a (not terribly inexpensive) device/system called HoldFast that connects to an air compressor. In theory, it's a nice bit of kit, but I haven't had good luck with the chuck that comes with it. If/when the seal breaks around the rubber rings they use, it's quite a trick to reseat and reseal. So - when it works, it pretty good. Otherwise it's useless and quite a pain to repair correctly (in my hands, at least). Cheers from Texas!
To get the rubber coating on it you might consider using a stuff called Dip It. It’s basically liquid rubber and is sold for coating the handles of hand tools.
Great, understandable presentation. Jimi in the background was great, too. Well done!

It does not stay soft enough. The surface has to conform to the grain in the item. Which is not always smooth as glass.
Thanks for making this video
You're welcome.
The music is really annoying
