Welding/Grinding Curtain

Welding/Grinding Curtain
Not really much fab work here... but thought I'd post it up in case it gives some of you guys some ideas.
I needed something to block welding and grinding sparks from my work bench area, and this is what I came up with. I already had a 6x8' welding screen thing so I made it around that, centered between the ceiling and floor. There's a gap at the top and at the bottom but I think it'll still stop 99% of the sparks.
I have a 6x8" welding blanket with grommets that I can hang up there as well. I started with a 10', 5' and 3' sections of black pipe that I welded together. I made all the brackets out of 1" square tubing, 1" angle iron, 1/8" flat stock and 5/8" rod.
Sorry for the poor quality pics... all I had with me was my iPod.

You dont want bits of steel and grinding wheel in your clear-coat.
WASH YOUR CAR often if you grind in the same room. Metal dust can and will get into clear-coat. Ask me lol.

For right now I don't really care about the paint since it'll be redone in the spring... I just make sure the glass is covered!
