So, using some scrap wood and 1/4" hardware cloth, Joe built a frame that slips over the top of the hood. While the draw doesn't feel very strong, it does hold a paper towel against the screen, and the area looks pretty clean when I've finished sanding. I can take the frame off when I use the hood with the flex shaft and larger pieces of wood, so it seems like a pretty good and inexpensive solution to that ever-present problem of dust control.

Dust collection for pneumatic sander
Finally got the new set of small pneumatic drums from Klingspor, and needed a way to contain the dust. I already had a hood and stand from Grizzly, but was concerned about small pieces disappearing into the dust collector.
