This is my bench:

Since that photo was taken, I added a shelf by resting some boards on the long stretchers. This is very nice for storing my planes, as they are always on hand.
However, when I saw something clamped on the leg vise, or sometimes when planing, sawdust/shavings manage to fly and land on the shelf; the shelf's front is flush with the legs and with the benchtop. This is rather unnerving, as the planes and the front of the shelf end up quite sawdust-y.
Does anyone have ideas for how to solve this? I don't really want to add drawers or doors at this point; I *really* need a sliding deadman and that would seem to interfere with those.
