Homemade Overarm Dust Collection Hood for Table Saw | DIY

My table saw has horrible dust collection, second only to my miter saw. I've been looking at buying an overarm dust collection hood but they're expensive and won't necessarily fit a small job site saw. I decided to make one out of plywood and acrylic. I struggled with the design for a long time but decided enough was enough and I needed to just start building. I'm happy with the outcome although I could probably make some improvements to the dust hood design. After using this version for a while I'll know exactly how to upgrade it later.
