Hello Ben H.
Thank you for posting your experiment. I did "like and subscribe"!
The set up shows some very entrancing effects of electric fields on dusty materials.
All over the solar system, space probes have found dunes of sand and dust, except they have been found on worlds which have very little or no atmosphere, or with very little atmospheric movement. Examples include Titan, Mars, and on Comet 67P. Without sufficient wind (or water) to pile up the dunes in wavelike formations, what forces could be responsible?
Here is a Thunderbolts video from 2014 with Dave Talbott commenting on Rosetta images showing dunes on 67P:

You will see in this presentation experimental set ups and results that match yours, although they do not use steel grains like you did.
I will quote Dave Talbott:
"Those who come to this issue from
an electrical perspective have urged
investigators of 67p to look at
experimental evidence. Electric fields
and Electric discharge act on surfaces
in very specific ways and the dust
formations on
67p find a rational explanation in
experimental
work. Notice for example the manner in
which which the surface dust on 67p has
gathered into flat and smooth layers
with distinct boundaries between them.
Will a conglomerate of ice and dust and
a neutral vacuum be expected to produce
such
formations?
Over the past 15 years within
the electric Universe Community
experiments have shown the effects of
electric fields and Electric discharge
on surface materials with results that
compare exceptionally well to surface
features on planets and on moons,
asteroids, and comets. Surface features
emerging from these experiments could be
essential keys to a new understanding of
solar system
history.
The expansive smooth layers of
dust on 67p pose a remarkable contrast
to the rugged and irregular shape of the
nucleus as a
whole but equally noteworthy are the
more intricate dust patterns seen at
some of the margins of the primary
smooth dust planes. What is the cause of
the contrasting
features?
Several experiments by DZ
Parker and Billy Ylverton looked at the
effects of electric fields acting on a
surface of dust. A consistent pattern of
layering emerged. Distinct layers of flat
and smooth terrain with more complex
patterns formed unpredictably at higher
electrical energies. Some of these
patterns are virtually indistinguishable
from configurations of dust on
67p and remarkably similar patterns
observed on the planet Mars and on
Jupiter's moon IO."
Electric fields move and deposit materials in ways that are best seen in garage experiments like yours.
