[TheForge] Smithing Apron

[Jeffrey Polaski]

I have a suede one from Pieh Tools that works well enough. 

If you're interested in making your own, you can get some leather from
Tandy. I have a split that I plan on turning into an apron soon... I
just need to make some ties or snaps or something that will break if it
gets snagged.

I forgot the exact weight of the leather, but something in the 8--12 oz
range. It's a bit too thick to flex easily, but it should hang straight
down and not flop around or get snagged.

Yes, I'm glad you're still here -- grinders can cause a lot of damage!

Anyone know a good source online or otherwise for a heavy duty  
leather smithing apron? Perhaps one more like a farrier's apron, with  
the individual legs, but that comes up over my chest. After my angle
