[MR] A question about shields.....

[stickjock at comcast.net]

I can't speak for everyone but the shields I use are .090 thickness T-6 shaped on an english wheel.  As for the edging I use pinch weld molding in place of the heater hose then cover the entire shield with heavy canvas.  It gives the shield a banded edge look.
