Looks like it was just uncrated

Very nice!

I have always wondered about using plastic hose or anything flammable for grinder dust extraction. Have you ever had any issues with fire with that set up?

Except when dressing, when abrasive goes everywhere.

Does it mostly go forwards, or does it really go in all directions? I don't have a SG, but if I get one, I am thinking of putting it right next to the garage door pointing "out".

Pointing it out side would be a good idea - if you take the back plate off and open the door. The pattern is definitely oriented in the down wheel direction, but unlike the sparks its a broader cone and bounces all over.

the particles have enough velocity they will ricochet off of whatever they hit - ie the SG's backstop or whatever else is there, which is a big contributor to them "going everywhere"

My idea is a small metal box surrounding things with deflector and 'trap'. Position at the source of spray of grit the hope is it would capture the grit. Opening the garage door for me is not an option...climate aside it takes about 1/2 a day move all the stuff needed to open it

No, I've never had a fire. The hose is supposed to be fire proof or flame retardent. If I do a lot of grinding where the dust builds up in the shoot every now and then I'll see a little glowing..... you know how that steel dust burns, but never any fire. I keep a close eye on things.
