Yes, most of the time. Cheapo BucketBoss cross strap apron. Glued a small magnet between the bucketboss tag and outside of right side chest pocket so 6" rule doesn't fall out when I bend over. Various squares go into apron pockets, pencil in the pencil pocket up top. Sharpies of various tip widths in the right side hip pocket, nail set/punch in the left one. I can't keep up with anything if I set it down, so am in the habit of putting everything away in the apron every time I use it. Sounds like time wasted pulling out, putting back, etc., but actually less time than searching for stuff. I wear this when woodworking or metalworking, but not at the wood lathe. If all I did was work at the bench, I wouldn't wear it, but I do too many different things in my shop.

ETA No marking knife in the apron.
