Can't believe i just listened to 12 minutes on an apron. Very interesting. Lots of neat ideas.
hahahaha.
ha ha, I can't believe he can talk straight with the least amount of umms and ohhs. Jay's one step above Roy Underhill from the Woodwrights shop... Everything in one take.
When I try to speak, every third word is ummmm
I hope one of the neat ideas is a dog collar/harness, because it changed my life. I paid someone for a proper leather harness so my tiny guy would survive a big dogs bite, and now I'm leaning back with a cup of coffee in the dog park.
Funny folks pay a lot for stuff they don’t use often but cheap out on stuff they use all the time. This apron is something you’ll use each time you’re in the shop and worth spending extra for. This is why you’re great Jay you worry about the stuff you need to not the stuff you’re not.
Dragonfly Woodworking exactly. It's great that Jay picked your product to use. To me he is the modern day Norm Abram. He explains things and gets me excited to do wood working like Abram did. He doesn't dumb the material down for he's audience but also doesn't over complicate things. This apron is like him simple but thoroughly thought out.
That hanger is a beauty!!
Great video! I'm making my own shop apron (waxed canvas and leather), and your demonstrating each tool pocket has been extremely helpful.
Great craftsmanship. Thanks for walking us through what you have/use most frequently.
It's a really nice addition to your convenience. It looks great and the approach of the guyz at Dragonfly is absolutely brilliant.
Hey Jay, that’s a great shop apron, and as a bonus it makes a nifty kitchen apron conveniently holding all you necessary baking utensils
🤣🤣😱😱🤩
Thanks for sharing Jay! Awesome information on a great "tool" for every woodworker.
Love your videos for both content and presentation style. Never thought about the advantages of a well designed apron. Amazing. Plus hearing why you pick one tool (square) over another makes me think about what is the best tool for the job at hand. I’m an impatient person and woodworking has helped me to see the virtue of patience 😇. Now I’m rambling.
Looks beautifully made.
I almost didn’t click because I’ve never liked aprons. Now I’m online looking at custom aprons. The thought you put into it and the quality are great. It’s a heck of a step up from two canvas pockets. Thanks for the ideas.
Erik if we can be of service just email us at dragonflywoodworking@gmail.com

Jay, if your wife still works at the vet office, have her bring home a syringe case from a 12 and 20 ml syringe. These may work for your marking knife as well and are round. Being round, they may slide into the leather slot a little easier than the square one you have. They also have a bit of a flared opening at the top which may make it easier to slip the knife into the plastic holder. I think I will take some cases home and design a marking knife around the case. Great review on the apron - it looks great and appears to be very well made. The ability to customize/personalize it is a fantastic feature and selling point. Have a nice Thanksgiving tomorrow. Scott
Talkin' aprons got you all saying toodles. Thanks for this. Making one for myself at a stich lab in town this weekend. Appreciate the ideas.
I dabble in leatherworking, in addition to Jay-inspired woodworking. Now I'm going to have to whip up an apron like that!
I like the look, the build quality, and the utility of your apron.

I appreciate the quality of your videos. And for what it's worth, thanks for keeping them "clean". I do some woodworking "mentoring" with some young teens and I appreciate that I can refer them to all your videos.
Absolutely. Thanks for the feedback.
Jay that is a killer apron. A very useful tool no doubt. Thanks for sharing
Love this guy!!!
Nice Jay... 🖒
I started wearing a shop apron quite a few years ago. Mostly for metal working back then. Really saved on my clothes. Then I added wearing it splitting firewood that really saved on my clothes. Then when I started blacksmithing I really use my apron to the point that I also got me one made. (Not by the same folks as you, I think mine was IforgeApron.com) I highly recommend a shop apron and a cross strap in the back really takes the stress off of your neck.
Good to know. As old as I am I doubt that I wear the one I have out but maybe sometime I'll damage it beyond repair.
Up close it looks like a very soft leather. Nice!
Like that hanger, I'll be makin' me one of those.
I have been wearing a frost river shop apron. Its a waxed canvas material is quite durable. I have been using it mainly for lathe work.
Oooo fancy pants!!! Lol kool apron , my whole problem with mine is actually putting in on when i walk in my shop I usually think about it after i have glue in my shirt !!!!!
Seems like a very useful addition to your shop, Jay.
Toodles....
Great apron, and the custom option is awesome. It looks quite well built. How do you hold our attention talking about an apron for twelve and a half minutes? It is a beautiful tool.
I need an apron. If it only holds my e-cigarette, a pencil and a marking knife, it will save me hours of looking for whatever I set down. Also, if I wear it with shorts in the summer I'll look like a flasher, and it's important to give the neighbours something to gossip about, so, you know, bonus!
Quite the badass tool slinger there Jay. You could hide a couple of thigh strapped throwing knives under that thing! :-)
Lmao lost it on the toodles. Great video. I can definitely find value in the video on how convenient the apron is. Thanks jay
Dragonfly Woodworking fantastic work on his apron. Once it’s on the budget to get one I’m for sure keeping you guys in mind.
looking forward to it
Get the starrett 6" metal ruler. It's awesome. Great viedo
Thank so much. I have been curious where you got your apron. I will have to give them a try.
Hello, This is Michelle of Dragonfly Woodworking & Leather. checkout our webpage. www.dragonflywoodworking.com
Yet another great video. I emailed that folks at Dragonfly and Patrick was kind enough to send a quick reply. I will order my apron in the very near future. Cheers!
Very nice
Very good quality
Awesome.
Do they do vest as well or only aprons? I guess I can check their website. Thanks
Do you get a lot of sawdust in the pockets? And if so, is it easy to clean out with it being leather?
Wish I had one of those aprons the other day when my table saw hit me in the stomach with a 12x20" piece of plywood. I ended up on the floor with a 8" scrape and bruise.
I was eyeballing the hanger throughout the video wondering if it was something to do with Movember...
Really nice touch and, yeah,I think I need to make myself an apron hanger so mine doesn't end up stuffed in a ball on the bench at the end of the day.
Toodles!
Thanks for the video featuring a great product that is awesome! And now I am truly bummed because over $200.00 for a shop apron is WAY OUT of my shop budget for that item.
Senior citizen starting kit. Soon you will be eating dinner at 4 pm. Very nice apron for sure.
I already eat dinner at 4pm and the kids down the road won't get off my lawn.
Is that machines square the kinex I plan on ordering that
I know what ya mean about getting older and the belly sticking out.. ya know what I mean!! Lol
So jealous. But I would probably find a way to get crude oil on it. Was hoping that you would put the apron hanger under your nose as a mustache.
A cork works well for tucking a knife into a dedicated pocket.....
Nice suggestion, I will have to remember that one.
Ha ha. Toodles! You made some good points and it looks like awesome quality, but I’m just not sure I could get used to wearing one.
I like the apron. For many of the same reasons I wear bib overalls, while working. The apron maybe needs one large utility pocket for whatever: screws, nuts, plastic fasteners, tape...whatever.
Thats why we are a custom apron shop. Almost anything is possible
8:45 I have one square like this and a big one, it is awesome : )
I remember how empty it was when you first finished the tool wall but you have definitely filled it past capacity with those few saws on the top. Might be time to rotate the saws out and build a saw till and condense them. Or not . Could be a fun video though.
Nothing wrong with a little rambling.... and if you want to say "Toodles" that is ok too. Nice apron.
Jay, I love the apron but it looks like it'd be hot. I'm in central Texas and summer temps can be 100+ no problem. How is your vest working out in your Mississippi heat?
I have a climate controlled shop. It's warm, but not unbearable.
Having an apron on is like being a Swiss Army Human. It's the same reason why I love cargo pants, except you don't need to bend down as far.
Does sawdust get caught in the pockets, especially the lower ones?
There's a tiny amount. Nothing to complain about.
Next on cooking with Jay 😜
Thank god you came back to wrap up that loose end! All thru the video I was wondering why you had a wooden mustache on your tool wall ;-) I hang mine on a piece of unistrut I left sticking out from mounting the DC piping. It's not leather...no-class shop, I know.
@12:15 "Toodles is... that's just a little weird." Yep, just a little and, please forgive me for saying, completely in character. You gonna wear it at the dinner table tomorrow? (We're you already mulling it over? C'mon, inquiring minds...)
Thanks, Jay, it is very thoughtful to post this explanation+review. That looks to be a fine tool, perfectly fitting your fine shop. And thanks for the links to Patrick and Michelle's Website and Instagram sites.
Hey, how'd you get The Incredible Hulk to pose for the pick in your announcement email - are jobs that scarce for him, or are you as famous and popular as I think you deserve?
Thanks for the great info! I've always thought that a custom leather apron like this would be more expensive. Definitely on my to get list now! Any chance you have an affiliate link for that mechanical pencil?
Indeed I do :)
amzn.to/2hL0HfM
Thanks Jay! Now I'll see if I can keep this one unlike all the pencils I've lost lol.
It seems too long for my taste. But I would love to get one. I’ll check them out.
What weight leather is it made from?
Hello Mark, it is made from 3-4 oz full-grain leather
I think I'm gonna have to talk Mrs Claus into one of these
Toodles??? LOL... Nice job on the video... Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
haha someone else has little kids here.
Spoiler alert! As I neared the end of the video I was wondering if it is easy to put on and remove and I got my answer. It does look easy to remove. Thanks, Leib
Where can I get one of those apron sr

Cool. I noticed when I remember to wear a shop apron I end up with less man glitter in the house. Yes I stole "man glitter" from you. Cost for your apron?
The url didn't work for apron sales

Jay Bates 2 thanks man. Happy 🦃
C'mon Jay that apron is missing a Cheezit holder! Nice apron though!
Put some Bick 4 on it occasionally so it will last forever. Dang I want one.
Someday. Right now I'm a college student and lucky if I could afford the cheapest of denim aprons. But once I've got a degree and some cash, quite possible I'll take you all up on that offer.
Nice apron, maybe I could get one - $380 - Toodles
Probably worth it. Buy once, cry once.
Bad Ass
It's been a year, do you still wear this? I'm contemplating ordering one because It would be really handy, but I just don't know if I'd use it long term.
Yes. If I know I'm going to be in the shop for a while I wear it. If I know I'm going to be in and out all day I stick to the tool belt.
I think i need an apron now
Nice Jay cool apron but tootles yikes gonna have to rethink my subscription lol
to answer everyones question 280$ US plus tax, plus shipping, plus extra for any engraving or custom touches
Nice apron. Jealous of the work bench though
Made in America :)
Looks like Gimli, from Lord Of The Rings. (in a good way)
Toodles! 😃
If it works that’s all you want...
Thanks for making me realize how inferior my apron is... Toodles for now
What? No cup-holder?
$225-600+
Very nice Jay!
This may be blasphemy here, but ikea sells a nice, lightweight tape measure with metric. It's like $2.
Toodles!
You will appreciate it being leather if you ever have a table saw kick back strike you in the gut.
I use mine for glue ups, because it never fails for me to get glue on my shirt.
I have gotten the Katz-Moses apron since this video.
Thanks. If too warm then ditch pants and shirt but PLEASE do not do that in your videos :-)
Holy shit $280. Too rich for my blood. I barely have the money for lumber let alone an apron like that lol. Very very nice though. If I had that kind of money I'd probably go for it.
Yeah same here, the one i liked $400! Yikes
I was the 100th like!!!!! Lol
Come on Jay at least make your own hanger :D
