The box pictured above is made of raw MDF to save on cost, but feel free to use whatever material ts your taste. Building the box is fairly simple. It uses mostly butt joints fastened with glue and either screws or nails. Cut each lettered piece to size. Cut a 14" deep x 12" high rabbet on the bottom edge of parts A, B & C. Use a jigsaw to cut a 4" diameter hole in part C. The hole should be 131/2" (on center) from the side edge and 4" (on center) from the top edge. Use glue and either screws or nails to assemble and fasten the main box (parts A, B, & C). Attach the boxs bottom (part D). Attach all four cleats (parts E & F) 7/8" down from the top edge of the box using glue and nails. The downdraft panels will rest here. Cut the long edges of the ramps (G) to 45 and 20. Fig. 1. Attach the ramps with the 20 edge directly under the side cleats and the 45 edge towards the center of the box bottom. Fig. 1. Attach the combo port or blast gate.
