I made the guard using two 2-gal plastic buckets. See picture below for the first part. I used a second bucket to cover the outside. I placed a wet towel inside the guard. It was much better than without this guard, but I decided there is a better solution, which is using the guards that came with the grinder and use spacers & longer bolts to accommodate the wider grinder wheel. I have not yet implemented this idea, as my Baldor grinder is missing the guard cover for the right side. Working on finding a place to order that part, several places I called did not have it in stock. More to come later...
