Built a very crude box to attach to the wall.

Added trim to front of studs to attach plexiglass. Be very careful not to scew plexiglass in to tight. It will crack.

Cut a board to fit inside the box to control the downward flow

All of this was constructed with things I had laing around. The only purchaes was the plexiglass at $2.15 a sheet.
Thank you Nifty for giving me the idea.
