Extraction system

One of the lasting observations when building the boat last year was the amount of time I spent hoovering up sawdust and shavings from the workshop floor.
To reduce this non-productive exercise I have built an extraction system for the workshop. The 'old' vacuum cleaner and the cyclone have been permanently installed in the porch cupboard and the cleaner can be switched on from inside the workshop.
In the extra you can just make out the white extraction duct under the roof trusses and the flexible hose hanging down ready to be connected to the table saw, router, bench planer, sander or hand planer - whichever is in use.
To accomplish this I have a bucket full of adaptors because no two tools have the same diameter dust port..... 
I also have the 'new' vacuum cleaner to use for clearing up outside the range of the fixed system.
