Dust control for my Dremel

[Hawk]

As I get better dust control overall in my shop one of the last issue to address was my dremel.  I use it quite a bit for shaping the segmentation and as I venture into intarsia, that too. In the past I would wait for a nice day, cart everything outside and sand there. While mowing the lawn last week I got to thinking on that (I do a lot of deep thinking while riding the lawn mower (lol)). In the picture is what I came up with. It's 4"PVC with the top part I got from a local woodworking shop. I put a piece of windows screen to catch the pieces that pop out of my hands and it's set at a height that allows me to sit on my stool while sanding.  I've used it a few times and it seems to be doing the job as I envisioned.

Chris, I made one years ago, I modeled my after a downdraft table. It did a perfect job, I'll have to try to find it. It's not as good looking as yours is, but it worked fine for what I wanted it for.
