Copper Face Mask Creation

My Apprentice Chris Freedman & I designed and built this original metal face mask for a client with the stage name 'OD', who is a rapper located in Bossier Louisiana. He ordered this to wear during his musical performances. It was made with 24oz copper sheet metal. We only charge $400 for this mask with shipping, even though it took us more than a couple hundred hours to design and build this after exchanging 37 e-mails and many digital images of the cardboard and aluminum mock-ups Chris had made. It was an interesting project, but not very profitable. Quite a departure from replacing gutters or building copper chimney caps we normally do.

It has a separate jaw piece that is designed to move up and down with his jaw. There are no teeth in the middle to allow for his mic to be close to his lips.

@KUSHaPOTamus420 I agree, that is a good idea. Are you going to have us make you a mask as well?

Can it take a hit from an airsoft? 500fps. . .

@JheyArTeves

It is padded inside and is made with a pretty thick copper. It is not bullet proof, but it will withstand a hit from a baseball with minimal denting.
