Apron Reviews 3 EcoZen Waxed Canvas Woodworking Apron

[@the6shaws]

I tried really hard to not like you Mr. Bitner. Who does this dude think he is starting a new woodworking channel. I failed.... great content. Also, can't stress enough how awesome having a standing desk in the workshop is. Keep up the great work and best of luck!!

[@BitnerBuilt]

Yes! I knew once I won over David Shaw, nothing would stop me! 😂 thanks, David I’ll do my best! And yes, now that I have that standing desk out there it honestly feels like a required piece of kit

[@jessec8562]

Yes the standing desk video is very unique and useful……

I own this apron and love it. Very adjustable and comfortable. The big square pockets have the flap to keep sawdust out, which was a big win for me. I also keep a strong magnet in the pockets sometimes, and then I can "stick" something to me if I'm using if for a project or on a ladder, etc. screws or small tools for example. Really good customer service too if you buy one.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Nice! This was my favorite but I couldn’t keep it. The leather straps in the front squeak in my mic during videos (my problem only) highly recommend this apron

2:25 to skip the intro that's in every episode. These are great by the way! I can't believe your channel is only like 2 weeks old, you are a natural! It looks like the feel of this is quite nice and I see why you picked it. But my most useful pocket is my pencil/scribe holders, and on this one I don't like how the hole just eats skinny implements. I think I can probably modify the depth with a grommet. And the Ecozen comes in KEVLAR! I think I'm sold. Also, you can easily add metal tool clips to these canvas aprons with a riveter. Adding pockets is doable, but more challenging.

Thanks defenestrated23! Hey I’m going to copy and paste too 🤪 you know I should have thought about saying skip to 2:25, I actually completely re-filmed all of these apron videos four times because I kept going back-and-forth on if it was gonna be one long video or split up and I just wanted it done by the end, the third time my mic wasn’t on 😓 I do have everything as affiliate links so 🙏, you’re only the second to mention the big Contant dump for the algorithm, that was my plan. Also a good way to see if it’s gonna work or not and I think it’s working! Thanks so much for all the kind words

I have used this apron for about 2 years. I use the thin metal tab on the right for my double square.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Ooo cool I will try that too thanks for the tip!

[@15X98]

I’ve had this apron for 2 years and have not had an issue with anything falling out of the pocket. I keep a 4” speed square, center punch, eraser and razor knife in it. I use the tape measure holder for a 16’ tape and the clip has worn a hole in the apron. Don’t really use the lower pockets much. The chest pockets are for pencils, marking knife and sharpies. I am thinking about doing some mods to it and sewing specific holders for my square, knife etc…

[@BitnerBuilt]

Nice! I actually really like this one and would use it permanently. I tried using it for a week after this review, but I had a very specific issue for me only which was that the strap that goes into the grommet in the front is leather, so if you pull on it, it makes a squeaking noise which is my microphone goes right there. It was squeaking in the microphone. So unfortunately I couldn’t use this one, but a very specific non-woodworking issue. Otherwise I would’ve kept it.!

[@UncleIvan1]

happy I found your channel, hope to see more makita tool reviews in the future 😀 I know you already have plenty 😉

[@BitnerBuilt]

Indeed! Makita will always be one in the lineup when I do my big reviews, in a week I should have out a big jigsaw review with 2 Makita, 3 Bosch, 2 Milwaukee and 2 dewalt

[@rickmasten6409]

I liked all the video reviews but for myself l would have liked it in one video would have been easier to watch combined keep it up I'll be watching

[@BitnerBuilt]

Me too lol it was supposed to be one but just couldn’t get it short enough to also show enough, would have been an he long. I actually ended up filming it four times because I kept flip-flopping between making it one video and separate ones 😩

[@michiganmikeupnorth]

Just got mine in the mail today. I chose the Eco Zen.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Nice I like that one the best too except the straps are leather so there’s a little squeak in them that my mic picks up so couldn’t use it (very much a me problem for filming) otherwise my fav

[@lancomedic]

What is the Milwaukee m12 tool you put in your pocket?

[@BitnerBuilt]

That’s the installation driver, excellent tool one of my favorites for cabinetry or tough to reach spaces

[@lancomedic]

@@BitnerBuilt Thanks

[@davidwright5157]

What color is this brown or dark brown?

[@BitnerBuilt]

I’d say more dark brown

[@larrybooth1771]

Well it's no Victoria's secret. But it is functional.
