Ouch !

I used a pillar drill with a guard missing once (not entirely my fault .. slack maintenance in the apprentice training school).
I ended up with only half a head of hair.

Moral .. working on your own can be particularly hazardous.
I don't mean to preach, just adding a cautionary note.
I often remind myself when working on my lathe that it is very easy to slip into careless habits and the consequences for a single worker alone in their shed could be huge.

I continue to admire your "can do" attitude and ingenuity.
And you've even painted the bending jig.
