Hey Guys, how do you keep your workshops clean from all the leather chips? I currently use a standard house vacuum cleaner but its cumbersome to move around the shop. I'm thinking about maybe a handheld battery operated vacuum cleaner. Do you guys use anything in particular?
A small random tip from the bench: to make your leather stick to the surface during skiving or cutting use 0.5mm silicone VMQ sheets inbetween the leather and the surface. The grip is not as tacky as Phil's method with PVA glue, but it is a reasonable option.

I find the mains powered vacuums are better at getting leather fluff of carpets. Tile or wood, battery powered is fine.
I'm a bit of a stickler for a clean floor. Besides crawling down and picking up the odds and ends, I use a cordless sort of dustbuster mini-vacuum cleaner for the bench and the rug area beneath the bench. It's rare I'd use a Dremel for edge finishing (normally a form of emery board) so dust isn't a thing.
Short answer - Dustbuster
