Leather Woodworking Apron - Dragonfly Woodworking and Leather

Hello again everyone. In this video I wanted to document my entire process, from start to finish, when I ordered my custom leather shop apron from Dragonfly woodworking and Leather. I can’t even begin to describe my level of satisfaction with not only the process, but the quality of the product, as well as the customer service.
There have been a few videos made that go over thoughts on this apron. I wanted to take a different approach. I wanted to show everything from the time I received the first package, to the behind the scenes work, to me receiving the finished product. I think I did a good job capturing just that.
I really hope everyone enjoys the video and please feel free to reach out to me by either leaving a comment down below or by going over to Instagram and send me a DM @bentswoodworking.
I have left some affiliate links down below to all the items that I used in my apron.
Thanks everyone!

[@lancemillward2462]

bespoke aprons. thats cool

[@PRESA25]

Anyone notice the guy working on the apron was wearing a Jay Bates shirt? Very cool

[@elizabethmorton3998]

Excelente video❗️ Love the detailed description of the product and the customization process. 👍🏻 Fantastic Company! Sharing the video and info. Great job 😃

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@steventrull9562]

What about a 4 year review? Still happy, what would you do different?

[@JayBates]

The magnet! Great idea. Love the entire look of this one. Color combo is nice :)

[@bentswoodworking]

Jay Bates - Woodworking Videos thanks Jay! I’m a big fan, your original video is actually the reason I went with this and I couldn’t be happier with it

[@PRESA25]

Jay you gave dragon flys some shirts? I see they are rocking your gear! So cool to see

[@pmelchman]

@@PRESA25 yes i am..

[@leatherbydragonfly]

It is a great idea Jay. It's probably our best upgrade.

What a beautiful handcrafted apron! Beyond my price range as a diyer, but admirable! Interesting to see what you put in your shop apron. Remote is a good idea!

[@bentswoodworking]

K.B. Woodworker thank you. It has been serving me well!

[@wilfredorios9514]

HI Jason, Excellent video, thanks for sharing the info and well done Dragonfly you are doing a great job.

[@bentswoodworking]

Thank you!

[@puzzlering1]

Thank you for a brilliant video, great ideas, and a lovely practical apron at the end of the process from Dragonfly. This was very informative as I intend to try and make my own apron, hand sewn from an old full length leather coat and today I spent the day cleaning up old horse bridles for the straps. Thank you again for all tips regarding the pouches and the placement process on the apron, the ideas of the magnet for bits etc and the D ring for the safety glasses were brilliant Cheers,I have both liked and subscribed to your channel Sam

[@bentswoodworking]

sam milligan thank you so much. Dragonfly is a please to work with

[@jmp116]

Stunning

[@mitchyelvington4776]

pure class

[@StuffUCanMake]

Oh man, this is so beautiful!! May you have a Happy & Prosperous New Year.

[@bentswoodworking]

StuffUCanMake thank you and same to you!

[@johnpolen8742]

I didn’t know about this product. I am just now thinking low I can design my person layout. I’m going to get one soon.

[@bentswoodworking]

John Polen I totally recommend it!!! I was a little torn on where to place certain things but the video conference completely cleared that up. I actually changed things in the video call because they had some great recommendations based on the many other aprons they have made. Great experience!!

[@papbuca]

Duuude!!!

[@kkrankie]

Ready to pull the trigger....now that some time has gone by, anything you would change? How is it holding up? Any regrets? As a handyman I can see I’ll have an issue narrowing down what my basic tools would be

[@gamernick1533]

The excitement when opening that package is palpable... lol

[@bentswoodworking]

🤣

[@arshidmehmood27]

We also making. Leather/canves apron./ Jkts. Etc From; Sialkot.Pakistan

[@mike6996-]

Where did you order the apron???

[@bentswoodworking]

Mukhtar Mukhamedov dragonfly Woodworking. There is a link to their website in the description

[@diverdown922]

Thanks for the video, good job. Now that you have had the apron for a while, is there anything you would change, add or remove from you list of tools and placement?

[@bentswoodworking]

Diver Down I will actually be doing a video about that soon.

[@bentswoodworking]

Diver Down but I still love it! I might raise the glue ring but that’s about it.

[@thebird135]

I was wondering if anything falls out when you are putting it on or taking it off?

[@bentswoodworking]

thebird135 nope! I have had no issue with things falling off.

[@labrat7357]

Thanks for the video. My only concern would be that there is no fabric lining between you and the copper rivets. Copper exposed to body sweat may result in the formation of verdigris a green waxy material that will stain anything it contacts. All the best.

[@leatherbydragonfly]

we call that work

[@michaelrobinson9643]

Bit like putting on webbing. No plates to put in or stupidly heavy load though! :P.

[@robmcdowall8285]

Great video, and cool apron. How is the magnet attached? Is it likely to detach?

[@bentswoodworking]

Rob McDowall it is there forever! It’s actually sewn in behind a leather patch. Very strong magnet too!

[@robmcdowall8285]

@@bentswoodworking Clever idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@scubasteve159753]

Nice apron. Any idea about how a glue like Titebond might damage the apron, or come off cleanly?

[@bentswoodworking]

Matt Harper not sure. I wipe any glue on my glue ring rag

[@MrBostjanVidmar]

Great apron! How thick is leather?

[@bentswoodworking]

I don’t know the exact thickness

[@pmelchman]

3-4 OZ

[@MrBostjanVidmar]

@@pmelchman Thanks!

[@sifirid]

Be honest, did you ask for bottle opener?

[@bentswoodworking]

I did not 😂

[@dwaynewhitaker6518]

It rubs the lotion on it's skin when it's told!!!

[@JazzWeisman]

Did you get the medium or heavy weight version?

[@bentswoodworking]

Jazz Weisman I got the medium

[@pmelchman]

for woodworking, medium weight is plenty.

[@fishingadvent]

where did you get it?

[@bentswoodworking]

leatherbydragonfly.com

[@sakkmatt]

This is a heavy Norwegian fishing apron.

[@gardenstatewoodworks8396]

How long does the process take to get one?

[@bentswoodworking]

Garden State Woodworks honestly it could probably be done in less than 2 weeks. I dragged my feet cause I wanted to make sure I put everything where I wanted it so I took my time

[@00dahc]

Maybe I missed it but it seems you forgot to tell us the price for this.

[@bentswoodworking]

The medium weight like I have is around $310

[@SDMacMan]

@@bentswoodworking $310 sounds like a lot for about a second, until you think about all the work and material that goes into it. Good stuff. 👍

[@leatherbydragonfly]

@@SDMacMan Thank you for understanding. What people don't understand is the customization for each apron, no two are the same.

[@MrDINODINO74]

... 350 dollars for a apron is to much ,even for my extravagant imagination, perhaps because I am capable do one my self ? not because of that is just to much.
