Shop Apron

Mr Carter,

I must say: That is brilliant. It is as much a woodworking tool as the vise and the square.

i’ll take one in large size… looks like a winner to me.. I use an apron and agree that its hard to imagine not wearing one in the shop… saves my clothes big time.. even from the dust that usually ends up clinging to my pants… love it Carter.. I will take one.. how much? Papa

Very nice, I like the way the tools are close at hand, I don’t how many time I put down my ruler only to be looking for it over and over.

very cool. I don’t really know anybody close who can sew, so I guess I’m buying one…..someday.

Nice job.

Thats great, but….Is it made from wood? If not, it does not belong in the projects page.

I have never worn an apron or even thought about it. I do lose every single pencil, tape measure, and ruler the second I put them down though. I used to wear a tool belt, but it fills with saw dust. I think I may make one. I’m not afraid to admit I’m pretty good with a sewing machine. Also my wife complains about the sawdust trail I leave through the house.

What did you use for materials? looks like duck cloth (canvas to the non-sewers out there) and did you go from a pattern, or just wing it?

That is pretty awesome. I would LOVE to have a custom made apron to fit my particular woodworking needs.
I am surprised someone didn’t come up with the idea already. Sounds like it could be a good money maker.

So, let me ask you guys this: How much would YOU pay for an apron that was custom made like the ones above? One made to your own specs? I would easily pay $80-$100 for one. Plus, I am 6’4” tall, so most shop aprons are a tad too short on me to begin with.

Just a thought.

Very well done – The nice thing about making your own, is being able to customize it based on the wood working you do..

Thanks for sharing

Lovely apron.
In my eyes it is made of wood.
Awinner.
