Downdraft Sanding Table

Yes, it's s piece of pegboard left over from the walls of my shop. It's ¼ inch and quite stiff. I considered middle bracing but don't seem to need it. Inside the box, there's panels which funnel down to the vacuum port. It decreases the area under the top to make the vacuum more efficient, as well.

It's only 24 x 20 inches. Big enough for a body or a neck more or less, but not enough to sag.

Perhaps it's not strictly speaking a luthier's tool, but it's what I will mostly be using it for. Works really well, by the way. I've been sanding the strat body in preparation for spraying and my bench had very little sawdust on it.

I have a little wood shop in the back of my house, something like this would work perfectly. Very cool, thanks for sharing.
 
I made a Similar vaccum table MANY years ago for holding large real estate signs and banners in my Screen printing business.

the holes were smaller but MUCH more plentiful in a 6'x10' table
this is basically what I STOLE the idea from lol

Yeah, mine isn't a vacuum table, per se. It's just a downdraft table to help collect the dust.
