Or get a cardboard box and poke a hole in it to create a pin hole viewer. It's indirect observation but better than burning your eyes trying some hokey workaround.

Are you suggesting that we all get boxes and cut holes in the boxes?

Typical welding glass isn't dark enough. They are usually #8-#10 but for solar viewing you need at least #14 welding glass.
