[TheForge] Re: aprons

[Mike Spencer]

I have a leather bib apron I wear occasionally for particularly
spattery jobs.  For regular forging I have a lovely green suede one
that wraps almost all the way around (so no good for shoeing, but I
don't do horses).  I made it from a water-damaged woman's leather coat
picked up in a neighborhood free-clothes box during a visit to
Cambridge, Mass.  Your friendly neighborhood Goodwill, Salvation Army
or similar store may have a leather coat too damaged to sell or they
might watch for one for you.
