[TheForge] Smithing Apron

[Robert J Hill]

These aprons look pretty nice.  I am sure they are not cheap though.

Why not?  Both of my store bought aprons (one leather, the other a white
canvas type of heavy cloth) hang from my neck.  I guess there's always  
the
chance of catch the bottom end on a grinder or sawmill or whatever,  
you'd
sure need to watch out for that!  (Windmills, carwash, etc).  I guess  
if I
got anal about it I could re-stitch the neck strap on, using a single  
line
of lightweight thread so that the neck strap might rip away if I got all
tied up in my work.
