Showing Original Post only (View all)I have to do some second hand boasting. [View all]
My husband just completed 300 masks. He buys the material (gets a discount from the fabric shop) and a pack of XXX large T-shirts for the lining. He's has it down to 10 in 2 hours.
He takes them to the local medical center, an annex of the local hospital. It has Checkpoint Charlies at every entrance. Anyone who doesn't have one gets one of his. When customers head out, they return them into a container at the checkpoint. They're then washed, autoclaved and back in business.
Just a reminder not all old white guys watch Faux Noose, complain and insult. I am very proud of mine.

That's not second hand boasting - YOU probably have something to do with what he's doing, too.....

We both served. I think "What's the mission, sir" mode is still in place. Hard habit to break.

This more than offsets the Straight Outta Applebees couple. Really, there's way more of us.

He has it down to just eyeballing them. After 300, pretty much muscle memory now
