Promise I’ll stop spamming the woodworking thread with sculptures but couldn’t help but share the below clip

@flannel-slut First of all, that sculpture is insane. So much talent.
Secondly, who asked you to stop spamming the woodworking thread? That's what it's here for!

Not the most conventional tool, but a shop apron is absolutely a tool. Having some of my most-used hand tools at the ready is super important, and rather than buying something that already exists that I'd likely be unhappy with, I decided to make my own fully custom apron.
This was nearly 80 hours of labor, and a shit ton of leather!
-
@goosehd We'll see how it goes when I actually start using it. I have a project planned to start in the next couple of weeks, so it'll get lots of use very soon. I may add some pads to the shoulder straps because the apron will get heavy when it's loaded up with tools, and it'll be good to spread that weight out across the shoulder straps and waist straps.

@seawolf That’s crazy skills looks amazing
I’m trying to find someone who can make a thick piece of leather that can hang down off my belt to protect my Jeans from getting destroyed by my tool belt ,the best thing I’ve managed to come up with is some gaffer tape and a IH badge to cover the damage so the tape doesn’t rip at the cotton. It’s super annoying it last for about 1hour before it falls off and have to do again .

Bummed that this thread doesn’t have more juice in it. I have very little experience wood working, but the little time I did spend in it— made me love it. I built a DIY drawer system for my 4Runner when I decided to live out of it. I now live in an apartment and it bums me out that I can’t continue this hobby living here.
I’m considering buying a Kreg mobile project center and a battery powered circular saw along with some other battery powered tools. Since it’s all pretty mobile I’m sure my dad won’t mind letting me hold down his garage every once in a while. I’m wanting to build another drawer system for my truck that’s made more for overlanding instead to being lived out of.
If I get this ball rolling soon, I’ll update this thread.

@seawolf any update on that tool chest? Or any other good stuff you’ve been working on for us to see?
-
@worn2fade Oh.... the tool chest. Well, I started grad school and suddenly didn't have time for anything outside of school work.
Here are a couple of things I made recently:
I made two cutting boards that open up to reveal tools inside. One is made for cooking, and one is made for a picnic.
And lastly, I made this coffee table. The walnut top is 1.5" thick and tapers down to 5/8", and the bottom shelf is latticed leather. It's pinned with walnut dowels. The legs are maple with through-tenons that are wedged with walnut. I spent a lot of time getting that gentle curve on the table top just right.
