Very nice work Bob. I'll be tackling some guards for the change gears and feed gears on my lathe into the future. Just out of curiosity, given that the guard is split in two, couldn't you skip cutting an access hole for the inside welding and finish it off once it has been split? With care I would have thought that distortion shouldn't be a problem - but I could be wrong (it has happened once before ).
