I have started using a face shield more and more for this type work, I have glasses on underneath. Get a HIGH quality, expensive face shield and you will enjoy wearing it, it will allow you to have a good look at your work and you'll be bullet proof. A cheap one will work as well but will not be as much fun. I had a piece of a wire wheel pulled out of an eye. Man, I wish I could learn the easy way. Safety first.
