Leather mask pattern

I found this and thought I'd share.  Add the "h" to the prefix.

In the instructions he has a link to a video he made, for those interested in making one.  Personally,  I'd modify it slightly so that it would only take a smaller square of N95 mask for a filter element.  In the video he shows folding up a whole N95 for the filter. 

I personally have a beard that's a few inches shy of reaching my belly button, so masks are a moot point at this stage of the game.  I'm also pretty rural and not concerned with daily mask wearing, but this might come in handy for those of you in more population dense areas.

Dude if your beard is that long you can just roll it up over your face and have a beard mask 🤣🤣

Funny you say that.  I think without a good seal and an actual filter membrane...not to mention some common sense...most of these folks using cloth masks and bandanas are wasting their time.

So I told the missus,  that if they mandate it here in public,  then I'm just going to do a beard mask...and I took a piece of cord, flipped my beard up, and tied it in place over my nose/mouth.  I got "the look" from the wife

That 'beard mask' would actually work quite well. The idea of the masks is to reduce the saliva particles that normally would get out, not to protect the person in the mask.
