Here's how I did mine; back or strike plate 1/2" plate; sides and bottom 1/4" plate; bottom or collecting vessel is 6" thick wall pipe that has a small section removed. The side has a small door that allows for collection of lead.

Gary, do you happen to have a picture of yours? How has yours worked? Get much splash back?

Here's some pics, such as they are. As far as splatter, it's not been a problem with most bullets (cast) as long as the alloy is fairly soft. Some noticeable splatter on the back of the paper targets with harder alloy. However, at the distances I shoot from (only pistol BTW) there hasn't been a single "fragment" touch the shooter (me). I usually shoot from 15 to 25 yards into this trap.
Well, tried to load pics and I am being denied because files are "to large". I've resized by 50% and still no go. Message me your email addy and I'll send the pics to you directly.
