He posted this previously..not that it excuses him from his latest effort!
Any ideas on a source for a sheet of Lexan approximately 45" x 9"? My lathe has a guard that goes over the whole workpiece, but it's missing the panel directly in front of the work. I've never used the guard, being content with a face shield and a leather apron, but I'm teaching my 11-year-old daughters how to turn and I really, really don't want to see either of them hit in the chest or stomach when the occasional piece explodes. Thoughts would be appreciated. Will post this on the Wood Turning board as well. Thanks.
