Shop Apron

Speaking of Lie-Nielsen cache, the LN apron has "Lie-Nileson" embossed on the chest. I don't care who you are, you must admit that's cool.

Actually, I expect companies to PAY ME for doing their advertising. I don't wear ballcaps with tool maker's names/logos on them, don't wear shirts wtih advertising on them either. They want ME to wear THEIR advertising, then at least they can GIVE the shirt/hat/whatever to me for FREE

Guess you never had a Lie-Nielsen plane.

This reminds me of the people who drive around for years with the dealer's license plate holders on their car. The first thing I do is get rid of those.

I've had a lot of quality tools, bought from quality companies, but I still won't buy and pay for anything with there logo. I have probably a dozen shirts with corporate logos on them. Every one was FREE. Yes, I'll wear them. I'll even wear one that says "Dan Valleskey for Mayor" if you give it to me for FREE.

Agreed, wholeheartedly. Then again, we're not caught up in the status symbol frenzy of.

Now where in HELL can I buy a nice, discreet Casio watch with NO bold and colorful printing smeared all over it? I like Casio's countdown timers and alarms far better than Timex.

As a car dealer, I like the dealer licenses plate frames. We appreaciate all those that continue to wear our name proudly.

I like casio too, last one lasted over 25 years, including a trip through a roof and a fall of 18 feet, with me attached, into hard-core with little more than a scratch on the glass and a dent in the rim (I was knocked out, broke my sturnum, and the damage to my left knee still causes problems, the inch thick 8x4 sheet of ply that followed me through missed!). My Christmas present Timex lasted 7 weeks before the winder (adjuster) spindle broke....

Of course you do. If you pay me to do so, I'll display your frame.

I'm sure you do. Never had a car, new or used, that kept the dealer name for more than an hour after I got it home. Last three the dealer did not bother putting his name on them. Years ago, we'd removed even the car maker's ornaments to clean up a car.

We had a dealer in town that had the most awful looking oversized sticker on his cars. I was ready to buy and told him we had a deal. Just remove the sticker. He refused. I walked. Evidently others did too as he folded in less than a year. Ed

At least I can take them off without a heat gun.

I don't know - I was wearing a denim Woodcraft shirt that ended up landing me a paying commission!

Me? I'm harder on watches than my body. I use stairs and ladders exclusively, thanks. Ouch! Your story hurts just to READ!

I usually damage the lens before 3 years are up. Finding a nice plain watch nowadays is nearly impossible. Rats!

Maybe I'll write to Casio and say "_Enough_ with the text, just give me a plain watch. I don't need to know it's WATERPROOF TO

When I retired from my computer job, I tossed my wristwatch and bought a pocket watch. Most of the time it's in the bottom of a side pocket, since few pants come with watch pockets any more.

The one I have now is a Benrus quartz from Walmart. I think I paid about $13 for it, and it's been running for over a year - has a day of the month as well as the time.

BTW, Walmart has some cheaper ones, under $10. I've had two of those. One ran fine for 3-4 years, the other crapped out in 3-4 months. That's when I "upgraded" to the "expensive" model :-).

This one never posted last month for some reason.

This one is no status symbol, but it works just great and is a damn sight cheaper. I'm happy with my 91% cheaper HF apron.

At $85, you're likely paying for "gilded" LN logo stitching, a bit better quality leather, and probably a more comfy apron with the cross-hung style. But at 10x the price? Pass. (Though it is purty.)
