Hackerspaces are full of people with beards. Lacking the hormones necessary to grow my own, I figured I’d make the next best thing:a ludicrous, brightly coloured, plastic goatee that hangs out of my nose. I made the first ones at thinkhaus the night before the Toronto mini Makerfaire of 2011.

Nosebeard and mustache ring (from @techknight) at Toronto Mini Makerfaire, 2011.

Neon nosebeard made at raumfahrtagentur in Berlin. Seemed like a good way to test out the laser cutter and toolchain.

Another shot of me wearing one of the nosebeards made at think|haus.
