Improve dust collection on a spindle sander

I posted this on TH1, so having found the pictures I am going to post some of my old stuff again, might be of use to some one.
I bought a SIP bobbing sander, which has a dust port but the collection from it was hit and miss.

the main reason it the wide open side

so with a few bits of ply and bit of batten I made this

thus directing more of the suck to the holes around the spindle. :D
It can only be used with the table square to the spindle but that is most of the time for me.

My tool kit is almost complete, only a few more to get.
