This is a question I can suggest an answer for: I used a sanding block
(spline) that was designed to attach to a vacuum. It was sold in the
plaster board department of the home improvement store (Home Depot). To get
rid of the noise we used plastic pipe and put the shop vacuum outside the
shop wall. (pipe through hole in wall) To make the work easier and not to
have to contend with the hose in the way, I rigged a line from the hose to
the ceiling above the work bench to hold the hose up. This system work well
for the rough sanding, but the very last bit needed a sanding spline that I
did not have a hose hooked to. I did have quite a bit of dust to contend
with anyway. It is part of the "joy" of building composites.

Subject: Sanding dust extractor
I am looking at ways to contain all that dust from sanding. Running a
shopvac
while sanding seems to be an ineffective solution, not to mention the noise.
I
am thinking of constructing something similar to a fume hood, or a kitchen
stove hood. If anyone has constructed a successful dust containing system, I
would love to hear about it. Thanks!
