In regards to the actual DIY project, making the face shield looks exceptionally simple. All one needs to do is cut off the top of a Krispy Kreme box, clip a few slips in the creases, and then measure the shield for head fit. Clockwise cuts the corners off the front of his shield too, although that’s obviously more for aesthetics than efficacy.

Speaking of efficacy, it’s hard to say for sure, but it seems like the contraption would work effectively as a face shield. Note, however, there is no evidence of this. Regardless, a big piece of plastic in front of one’s face must block aerosols, and would almost certainly pass muster custard with Bill NyeOpens in a new tab.
