Version 2 of my dust extraction infrastructure:

Not sure if this should come under "workshop tours" or "past mistakes", but fortunately they're the same forum! Just some old Ikea shelves and offcuts screwed together. The extractor is hidden behind the right-hand shelf, and I've tried to keep all the curves as gentle as I can. So far it seems to be holding together well!

It could look like a bag of manure tied up ugly as long as it works.
Good on you for tackling dust control =D>
 
And some space for a few clamps down the back:

Now I just need to find somewhere to put the rest of them...

It does look like an octopus falling out of a tree but as n0legs said, as long as it works.

Now with built-in chisel storage! Some day all my tools will have a home and I'll be able to do some woodworking.

Nice one. If you were to replace as much of your flex hose as possible with pvc pipe, you'd notice quite a bit extra suction. The no need to worry though if the suction is sufficient already
