Lance,
I picked up that ddt from craigslist. It's the larger one, and I love it! There are five panals or sections that come out to get to the filters. I've made substitute panals with my neck shaping holder, a guitar body holder. They insert in place of one of the panals. I will take a pic of them on the table if you'd like. The three sides have a fold down (I think eight inch) side walls. I have a piece of half inch MDF that goes over it when I'm not using it. the rubber protectors keep the mdf in place. As far as the down draft goes, it's great. You just have to keep the filters clean which is a fairly easy thing. They are also fairly cheap to buy. I highly recommend it. I found it on craigs for 250.00. The guy used it once. I got lucky.
