Thanks!
RT. 
RT, I think your going to need some fill, or it's going to throw off your exposure, only capturing the sparks, if you shoot longer to compensate you’ll lose detail in the sparks creating just one big bright flow. If your by yourself or don't have super versatile light stands, grab a little goose-neck lamp with a 100w daylight bulb and duct tape a piece of white paper over the hood. Turn off all other lights and move the goose-neck lamp around the area with your free hand and position your glove hand as you were, but with the grinder off. See if anything strikes you as cool. Now with your glove hand hit your time delay also auto setting your exposure comp if let say you chose to shoot aperture priority. Your glove hand and sparks wont be in the shot for accurate exp but it will be close enough to stop up or down. Take a couple shots. You may need another light source/reflector for accent. Now fire up the grinder and you will get a super bonus to your already cool image. Having another person would help a lot. As you can tell, I have no friends  Camera settings will be crucial, speed, ISO, DOF etc. but that is half the fun right? Just some thoughts RT. Not that you need it. There is no right or wrong way to do this stuff we try to pull off every week I think your post is fine as it is
