I will be finally writing a formal letter to my CEO about panel saw persons malicious behaviour, on FRI.

Two others just laughed as he made his declaration.

Only you know your employment prospects, so take that into consideration whatever you do. Most people need a job... I am not a lawyer or harassment expert, so if you find my advice is broken, you get to keep both pieces :)
If you can get another job easily, deliver an ultimatum in writing to the boss and the apprentice to cut it out or you're out of there. If they don't cut it out, Go get another job. Simple.
If you don't think you would get a job easily, you still have to do something, so for starters, start looking around. Plan to get another job. You might just find a better job with not much hassle, and then you can get out of the abusive situation and improve your lot. Changing employment is daunting, but getting out from under a cloud like this is important for you own well being.
In any case, start a diary of the events as they occur, and get ready to go see a workplace harassment official. Tell the boss and the apprentice what you are doing. Let them know you are sick of it, and you will take action. Best bet is to do this with a letter, delivered and explained to the boss by you in the presence of a witness (someone you know who is not an employee or close friend of the boss or apprentice). Tell the boss that you expect him to behave, and you expect him to control the apprentice's behavior as well. They may moderate their behavior, or it might get worse. The boss may try and sack you! You have to be prepared to carry out your threat in these cases, so don't start this if you are not prepared to follow through.
Ultimately, as soon as you start standing up to these bullies, you are going to change the relationship. It's not going to be nice. Things will get worse, and a lot of stress will happen, and you will have to be firm. You have to show them that you are stronger than them.
A new job is the easy solution.
Hope that helps!
