Shop: Sanding dust no longer a problem

I have a ROS sander with a little spout that a dust canister attaches to...so i duct taped a 1.5" hose to it and the other end of that to a shop vac hose.

End result is i just did a massive amount of sanding and i have no sanding dust on myself, my stuff, or my boat.

The 20' long 1.5" diameter hose made it doable since it was flexible and did not impede sanding.

I have no idea why i did not do this before when sanding all that epoxy...i don't see how i could ever sand epoxy or anything else large without the vac again.

No more leaf blower to blow out my shop ever again.
