Shop apron??? Pencil on the ear???

I've been known to occasionally don a schmatta when turning to keep the chips out of my lovely locks...

I have a canvas Bucket Boss apron that I try to use when doing some serious work. But I have found that this little tool pouch fits the bill nicely as well. It keeps my most frequently needed 'things' close to me.

It has a metal clip on the back that can clip over belt or onto pants' pocket. The screw driver is one of those w/ 4 bits, Needle nose pliers, utility knife, flashlight, Sharpie and pencil.

These tools are not all (obviously) woodworking centric, but they are almost always needed at some point while I'm out messin about in the garage / shop.

No apron. Shorts and pocket t-shirt in the summer, old cargo pants and long sleeve pocket t-shirt in the winter. The pocket is for my pencils. Gotta have that. I've thought about a belt or fanny pack so I don't have to track all over the shop to pick up my tape measure. Again.

Put me down for a shop apron/personal dust collector

LV apron and pencil on the ear, in the apron pocket, on the bench, on the table and every other place EXCEPT where I need one.

I wear a small apron around my waist I got on sale from Rockler. It looks like I'm wearing a loin cloth. I will eventually go to a full size apron.

How do I get that Sawmill Creek hat?

How do I get that Sawmill Creek hat?

An order for a number of hats was placed last summer. They sold out.

Jackie Outten was supposed to be arranging another order of hats (and mugs), but she has not yet done so. Jackie, when is this likely to happen?

[Jackie Outten]

Frank,

I will put up the link for the hats on Tuesday, March 1st. I will take order for hats until March 15th at which time I will place the order. I am still working on the mugs. What I really need to know is if more people would be interested in the travel mugs or the ceramic coffee mugs. I have to order a minimum of 50 of either to place the order so I will go with the majority on this one; however, if there is enough interest, we can get both.

Thanks for the fast response Jackie. Good to hear about the hats. Will you be running a poll in order to ask about the mugs?

[Bill Neely]

I used the Skiller work vest system for the last few years before I retired. I still use the vest in the shop.

[Bill Ryall]

Jeans, boots and flannel shirt this time of year.

Jeans, boots, and t-shirt when it is warmer.

Carpenter's belt (like Norm) with pencils, tape, combo square, 16oz estwing hammer most of the time, working on the house or in the shop. I switch to a knee length leather machinist's apron when working with metal or turning. Always have the safety glasses on the top of my head or on my nose.

Thanks for that inquiry Frank.

I was thinking about that just before we headed to the WW show last week in Milwaukee. Thought how kewl it would have been to be wearing a SMC hat.

I'm anxiously awaiting Tuesday so I can place my order.
