I recently completed a downdraft / sander table that I built. It was actually a pretty easy project. Here is a video of what I did to make it. You can check out more about this over at my site: www.woodlogger.com
Here is the completed project.

Daris: First of all, thanks for taking the time to create and post your video, I enjoyed watching it. There was one thing that set off an alarm for me, and I hate to be ”that guy”, but you should never use your rip fence to crosscut like that on the table saw. Use your miter gauge or a crosscut sled. Watch the video again and you will see at the end of your last crosscut the board cocks sideways just a bit. If that had happened during the cut, you may have had to make a trip to the emergency room…

Boy! you beat me to the punch Stevenmadden, That is a very dangerious operation on the table saw. A very, very long time ago I did the very same thing and almost lost my fingers when the board pinched. When I say a long time ago, I was just starting off in woodworking.
