Thank you for the link! I’m on a dust fighting quest in my shop right now and will use this link in the future to build a down draft table. Great job sir.

I built a downdraft table many years ago and just used wood slats on the top. I like this version and may see if I can convert it. Thanks for the link to the pdf.

Good looking table. I can’t imagine YOU painting it black though! LOL This should work as well as any I have seen. I need one also. Want to ship this one to my address and make a better one for yourself. There are always things you wish you had incorporated in a project like this. You did well on this one though. Though of you the other evening. Pawn Stars had a guy come into the Pawn shop to pawn a Les Paul guitar that was owned and played by Mary Ford. It sold for a bundle.

Thanks for the kind words.

I hope everybody realizes that the drips on the inside will be hidden when the panels go in. I just noticed the ugly drip on picture one.

@CharlieM1958, It will suck if it doesn’t suck. So it sucks either way, right ?

@Grandpa, Yeah, once you paint black you never go back. ;=)

WOW, I missed that Pawn Stars. Probably too much information, but the early Les Paul models were the SG style and I have never seen Mary hold one of the other single cuts (what most people consider the Les Paul body style). She usually had a white one on TV (but in real life it was a color called TV Yellow to cut down on the harsh glare of true white on a black and white TV). I bet it did fetch a dollar or three !

I can’t remember what it brought but it was EXPENSIVE as I recall. Their nephew had it an a lot of documentation to go with it. Of course they had it all verified and it was real. He got more than he thought he would when he went into the store. It was a blonde color. I pulled your copy up on LJ and told my wife, “LOOK! this one was built in a garage and is probably as good as that one, if not better!” Electronics change daily.

Yeah, David, about those paint drips. That was the second thing I saw, LOL.

Otherwise, it encourages me to build one of these thingys’

I’m guessing convertible paint hood? Stand it up on end and paint in front of it?

@SawdustTX, Good guess and a great idea for small projects / air brush. Hmmm. I like that a LOT ! Okay, three purposed unit now thanks to you !

No, since the panels easily remove, I will add an internal light and then have a panel made from a piece of 3/8” thick milky plexiglass (I have a small stack of already) to use as a lightbox… (when I make router templates from drawings, I overlay and trace the outlines).

@ajosephg, Yeah I knew it would not get by you ! When I had it on end painting, I saw it happen as I was swabbing the inside edge of the dust port hole. I started to wipe it, but said what the heck… save a paper towel… it will be internal and never seen soon.
