I made mine out of an old range hood for the top and used an
old metal shower stall for the metal for the lower. With the range
hood, you get a blower(sucker?) that will pull the dust out of the
cabinet.
Not thinking far enough ahead, after a few minutes with the blaster,
the room is full of dust, while the interior of the cabinet is clear.
