I had a piece of softer leather hanging around and nothing on the bench. Merry Christmas to me! I used 7/8 oz Hermann Oak  for the tooled pieces, Hermann Oak 4/5 oz for the straps. Basket weave just because. I have never made an apron like this and can see room for improvement. The stitching on the top of the pocket is because I got so into the machine I just went right around the corner and sewed the dang thing shut! Pulled it out to the corners and hand stitched the top so the holes didn't look like I was ...  I made a yoke for the back and it is tooled with my makers mark as well. It has a short drop to a loop for the waist strap.

Anyway, i like it and can't wait to get dye all over it..

That is some nice work indeed. 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Nice work @Hags! Maybe I should build such a thing and look a little less disreputable with dye and glue over all my clothes. Do you not feel exposed with those pointy ends hanging out of the tool loops?

I see you're in Sequim. The racing cutter Tally Ho was being rebuilt there until her owner had to move to Port Townsend this summer. Don't suppose you visited?

Did not visit Tally Ho. But if you're in the area about September the wooden boat show in Port Townsend is very interesting.  And no, I'm not worried about the pointy ends. I did consider pockets, but ultimately settled on what I have. I dont sit except to do tooling and dont wear the apron for that. This is more for use around the cutting bench and sewing station. Thanks guys.

Mate I'd love to go, it looks lush but I've already got one obligatory trip abroad next year and getting hitched so the holiday time and budget's already spoken for!

Too bad Matt, could've treated you to a day on the golf course here. And all those sharp implements rest on a layer of 7/8oz Hermann Oak leather. Doubt they could make it through.
