Description
Made for the Larp "Krigshjärta 5".Some units in the guild employs large amounts of smoke grenades, which has made it very popular to carry a gas mask close at hand. The goggles are primarily made for paradrops, but they serve as gas protection as well.
Everything is made of leather handsewn with waxed linen thread.
All valves are fully working, as long as you do not breathe very shallow or weak. The filter is just a piece of red fabric with left empty space beneath, but it is exchangeable for active coal should I ever want to.
The only thing I really don't like is the fastening to the head. It's still pulling somewhat wrong, which makes air escape around the nose.
Update: New picture with a bit more angles and details

Literally paper-thin is not possible to get, though some hides may be as thin as 0,5 mm. For sword sheaths I recommend about 3 mm, and for knives about 1 mm.
I have no idea of where to get leather other than here in Sweden, but I believe Google(www.google.com) may be of some assistance.

How did you make the valves? Awesome mask by the way

It is made by making a couple of holes in a circular pattern, and fastening a thin skin circle to the center of it. When air is pressed from the inside, it will be lifted up, allowing air to pass freely out. When air is pulled to the inside the leather will be sucked towards the surface and keep the holes covered. The thick leather piece on top of the skin piece is to keep it close enough to be pulled down quickly when inhaling.
It is the same mechanic principle that many modern gas masks works by, though they are usually very thin rubber instead of skin.

And, sometimes, boredom in excess. There is nothing that brings forth so many wierd ideas as boredom.
