Instructions

  1. first on the gas mask i unscrewed the filter on the end of the hose, then using a hand held rotary tool cut it open removing all the charcoal and fluff thats in it. inside the mask you have to cut out a metal plate that is in front of the hose.

  2. i also took the glass eye holes out and covered them with tracing paper and put them back in so you cant see the inside, i also thought about putting some LED lights inside so it would glow but i might do that another time.

  3. i took apart a cheap lamp just unscrewing it and unthreading all the wires.

  4. i cut a shield shape out of a bit of wood i had laying about (i think it was a bit of old skirting bored) to mount the lamp to.

  5. then thread all the wires though and screw onto the mount and attach to a wall.
