WOODWORKING QUIZ for 24 Nov 04
Good Morning Friends,
Time to untie the apron strings, only to find that you jerked on the wrong string and have tied a knot in the dad-burned thing. with the knot behind you and you can't see to get it untied, and have to ask for help.
What would be your solution to this problem and eliminate the situation all together?

Don't wear an apron in future,
specially the frilly ones with lotsa lace.

I don't wear an apron but if I did and if it had strings, perhaps you could put long strings on it so you could tie the knot at the front.
The Velcro idea sounds like the best though.- Wood Borer

Good Evening Friends,
The apron I wear is a leather one and is a life saver from wood chips flying against the chest while sawing on the table saw and other flying objects in the shop.
A magazine article with shop tips stated to buy a shower curtain ring and a 4 oz. fishing sinker and after tying them too the strings and just drop the sinker through the ring. I myself went a little farther and bought two snap hooks and tied them to the strings, and have had no trouble since.
Thank you for your support.

Ralph,
Instead of going to the EXTREME expense!!! You could have tied a reef knot, and pulled it back on itself enabling you to simply slip the knot off the other tie. An old conjuring trick, but the reason reef knots are used in the first place!
Cheers,
P Knot quite a know-all??

The only leather work apron I ever had was fixed at the rear by a belt buckle, if you need too, set it up with a plastic clip buckle (like a tool belt) that way you can adjust it as you get fatter or skinnier, depending on the beer intake, or how much real work you might do.
