DIY Downdraft Table for Grinding Dust Collection - Part 2 - without a CNC

More on my quest to improve metal dust collection and chip collection in my shop

It occurred to me I should probably share a little more about how I did this in my home shop without all the fancy tools. This is my first sheet metal project and building the backsplash, floor and zero clearance drawer was probably a little bit ambitious, but I'm pretty happy with the results given my level of experience and the servicability. I posted this video talk about some of the why and how and some of the struggles along the way.
