Someone posted pics to abpw a while back of their downdraft table. From the pics I saved it looked like it had a piano hinge for the top and two filters that layed flat under the table top. If you read this can you post some specs on the table size etc. Thanks

It might have been mine. The idea came from an old Woodsmith / ShopNotes issue someone lent me. I returned it so I don't have the issue number.
I suggest you look over these plans to make one that gets finer dust than mine does.

top is a 2' x 4' sheet of pegboard. The holes were all drilled out to increase airflow.
The carcase instructions were 1. Find a squirrel cage motor. Heating / AC people often have them for free. (Mine was.) 2. Build a box to fit. There should be at least 3" on each side for good air flow.
