Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Or this. We all have bandanas and rubber bands. No sewing. I tried one today, easy but need to work on it not fogging up my glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Rapid Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 My wife, Ruthless Rose, has been making masks several hours a day. She’s done two kinds - the ones with tie straps and those with elastics that go over ears (top one, the elastics are partially visible). We’re giving the masks to local hospitals, doctors, nurses, and clinics. As some previous posters have pointed out, there are several patterns you can download, although my wife has just developed her own pattern that makes construction a bit easier. Regarding masks for COVID-19 when at the range, the photo on the bottom is of a bandana I wear, especially when running the timer and I’m in close proximity of lead particulate. This bandana has an elastic sewn in the back so that it pulls tight (rather than going through the hassle of tying a knot). (You can’t see elastic because its inside the bandana.) I should wear the bandana when I’m shooting, too, but it seems to get in the way when looking down at holsters, etc. So, when we’re up and shooting again - which I hope will be end of this month - I’ll be wearing my bandana full time more for COVID-19 than for blood-lead issues, until we hear that things are safe (whenever that will be).

Take care Driftwood Dan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPx1yqvJgf4&feature=youtu.be I just cut up a half dozen of my wife's old bras. You get two masks per bra. Stitched on some elastic and voila! Yeah, people look at me kinda funny, after they stop laughing. I've had all kinds of suggestions what to draw on them, as you can imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Thanks for posting these. I just shared them with a friend who is trying t find a face mask for her 85 year old father. Even Amazon is telling her May for delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Rapid Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Dusty Devil Dale... It's is clear to us the reaction you are having from not being able to go to the range and shoot! Take a few aspirins, and get some rest!!!! (Hope we get to shoot together soon!!!!!) RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR It's outright withdrawal, Roger. Every time I look at the guns, leather or load ammo, I start twitching and my brain loses its grip on my typing fingers. Actually, I saw the bra idea in a medical publication that came to my wife. Apparently some folks are using them as a last resort. They suggested putting tight weave cotton inside, against your face. BTW, what your wonderful wife is doing is pure inspiration. Please share my admiration with her. Just think how the mask shortage could be managed if every family across America would make a few masks for themselves and twice that many for distribution to others. Personally thank her for me.

When someone seen a stranger ride in, the first thing they did was take an accounting of his horse and saddle. Everything about the horse was evaluated. Because the house told a lot about the man and the horse was likely the most valuable thing they owned. Now watching the old westerns, the bad guys just pull up their bandana an nobody can recognize them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a local report that over 150 police officers had it or were in quarantine in Detroit, so much for the government telling you that you don’t need a gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
