Sadly, I think it is time for a close companion of mine to stand down. We spend a lot of time each day sharing the workload, and also glue, blood, oil and anything else thats gets on me. Yes, you've guessed it - its time for a new shop apron.........
This one has served me well for a couple of years but is embarressingly black and worn - every time I walk past the face vice of my bench it catches on a hole in the lower left side of the apron. Duct tape repairs gave it a few more months life but it really has to go now the front pocket has split. I spend as much time picking pencils up off the floor as I do putting them back in the pocket.
This weekend I get to lay some solid oak flooring in our kitchen. I've been slowly renovating the kitchen - it was a genuine 1970's kitchen when we moved it and boy, did it suck. But its coming along nicely - pics soon!
Have a great weekend,
Philly

So will you be burning the old apron and scattering the ashes, putting up a nice brass plate in remembrance?
If only that apron could talk eh?
I've been meaning to get myself a shop apron for a while but haven't got around to it yet, is there anything in particular I should look out for? What about the leather ones, are they any good? Or should I just go for a bog standard white cotton apron.
Cheers

No, probably going tohave it stuffed and mounted ;)

I've got a leather one but it feels too bulky and unyielding. A boggo white cotton one is a good starting place.
Best regards

I've got one of the posh Axminster ones with the leather apron ties...I reckon it's fantastic - Rob
