Winston Moy | How I Ruined My Latest Project - #165* @WinstonMakes | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 8 hours ago
I became obsessed about an idea to improve the efficiency of producing DIY breathing masks. But through a series of unfortunate errors, I ended up running into a metaphorical brick wall for a couple days. Here's what I was working on, how I screwed up, and what I learned.

Also, in light of the fact that I failed to produce anything useful, I decided to donate my previous month's Patreon earnings to Feeding America. Please consider helping those around you any way you can during these times.

Note: The mask concept I was working on was incomplete in several areas. I had not yet worked out how to install the filter piece in the front. There would have likely been a small printed insert either snapped on, or glued on. Also, I had not yet figured out how to attach elastic to the mask. Most likely candidate IMO would have been to solvent weld small loops to anchor straps to the mask body.

The Destin Clause (youtu.be/sbEj7M3aZIg?t=307):
If you do choose to try and take a radical approach, make sure you do so in a way that doesn't disrupt existing efforts and drags other people down with you.
