The New Durston Student Workbench with Bench Apron has a much lager bench apron than currently pictured. All Durston 1916 have had that larger apron* since 2023.
The Durston Student Jewelers Workbench Plus has been crafted from an Eco-friendly hardwood named Hevea Brasilienis. This affordable workbench accommodates a wooden railing around the 1" (25 mm) thick top, curved cut out area with bench pin hole and bench pin. Two different size mandrel holes are drilled and right and left hand arm supports are supplied. This latest versions include a side mounted tool holder and a catch apron. It's a great student bench that allows the artist to hit the ground running. This bench is sold disassembled and takes about 10 minutes to put together using the included instructions.

This economical jewelers bench apron is made from high quality fire retardant PU (polyurethane) leather, also called leatherette. This bench apron has pre cut holes with metal eyelets and rope fastenings.
*Bench aprons are meant to be oversize so they can drape between your legs and make a nice pocket for capturing metal scraps and shavings. Bench apron use is popular in Europe and more and more North American jewelers are finding this style of metal collection system to be superior as by its nature you are forced to collect metal scraps throughout the day. This can help keep metal types separate.
To avoid damaging the apron while doing soldering work at the bench you can simply remove the front of the apron from its hooks and let it fall away from the danger zone.
**Tool Holder adds 4" (100 mm) to width
