I've got some plexiglass left over from the Christmas boxes, and I have two glass panels from a storm door that I couldn't break with a hammer or an ax (while inside my trash can). I might try and use something clear so the light still comes through. Heck, while I'm at it, I should make a face shield.

It's already like that, but any shroud I place around my vise would block the light from the fixture straight above it. Putting a light on my welding helmet might be a future project though.

I grind straight up into the shelf hanging over the vice, which would go over the wall, then completely defeat the purpose. Don't you worry, I have a bunch of ideas floating around. I'll figure something out.
Best thread title ever.
Math is tough. Let's go shopping!
Nice work! The front plate still being a little long would bug me though. I'd also repaint the entire thing.
I thought about repainting, but that would have cost money. I noticed the long front plate in time as well, but it was small enough to not bother me. In the end I'm glad I didn't try to fix that because I just would have run out of gas earlier and it'd all still be sitting in my garage still. I'm already into the next project that's going to occupy my garage for the next few weeks to months.
As requested. I didn't get the best shots cause the wheelbarrow is busy holding some wood for me.
When my neighbor (cut from similar cloth as me) first saw the wheelbarrow, he commented on the welded in bottom. He was making fun of it and asking why he wouldn't just buy another one. He also borrowed my wheelbarrow many times over a few years until he got his own. This wheelbarrow has been loaned out up and down the street actually. The wood handles are getting old, but she's still kicking.
