Howdy gents (& ladies) looking to get some advice on what do you use for everyday tool belt or apron when chiseling out large cants.
I have a common construction belt what for nails, hammer, tape measure.
But I want to upgrade, for use with the large and heavy chisels.  Also smaller pockets for phone, pencil, and layout tools.
I like the idea of an canvas apron. Does anyone make one with long pockets for the large chisels?

Cheers

If you have the chisels, find a leather craft guy, and have it made for you with pockets the size needed and where you want them.

I've found I really like a small cart on rollers, add an upright holder for chisels with a spot for each, 2", 1.5", corner and etc.  Wood dividers with leather holster on bottom to protect sharp edge  Also a place to put items like square, tape, mallet and etc. Everything right at hand and easily rolls along with your work.  

Really don't miss the "where did I leave that" searching around any more :)

Hey, I think that the best way is to order a custom apron which will satisfy all of your personal requirements. Or DIY it
