Members CitizenKate Posted April 13, 2007 Members Report Posted April 13, 2007 Very interesting survey... I've read that there is a high percentage of the artistically-inclinded that are left-handed, or to some degree, ambidexterous. The result so far seems to support that. Kate Quote
Members shirleyz Posted April 13, 2007 Members Report Posted April 13, 2007 I can do exactly "nothing" with my left hand. Guess that means I'm alright! Shirley Quote badassseats As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death. ~George Bernard Shaw
Members CitizenKate Posted April 25, 2007 Members Report Posted April 25, 2007 Yeah, I have. I'm a lefty, too, but I hold my stamps in my left hand (better coordination) and my maul in my right hand (better strength). I have gotten tendonitis in my maul arm on a couple of occasions. Kate I'm struggling with tendonitis (spelling?) in my right elbow - and I'm not certain if it's related to leatherwork or lugging around a 35 lb kid on that arm. Have any of you gotten tendonitis in the arm that you hold the tools with? Quote
Ambassador Don101 Posted April 25, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted April 25, 2007 I an ambidextrous with a lot of things, when i gun spin i can use both hands no problems and both at the same time, ive boxed a bit in my younger days and found i could switch my lead hand with no problems, and do things some times without even thinking about it using my left hand, my parents were both left handed but when holdind a knife or hammer i use my right hand Quote

AndyL1 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Posted June 9, 2010 Left handed here too. Although I seem to be ambidextrous (SP?) on most things, stitch groovers are a chore! I need one with the blade in the middle. Who makes one like that? Quote Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook

Members katsass Posted June 9, 2010 Members Report Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) GRUMPY OLD KATSASS .......... = southpaw. Teachers from kindergarten until 5th grade tried to change me........one even smacked my hand with a ruler if I even picked up a pencil with my grubby little left mitt.

At my age I find that I can live without sex..........but not without my glasses. Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.
Members equiss Posted June 10, 2010 Members Report Posted June 10, 2010 I also am left handed which is a challenge sometimes with tools - speaking of which, does anyone know a company that might make and sell left handed skivers? The ones for right handed people are backwards (dont' know why I felt the need to explain that, other left handers will completely understand!) but really need to find or make one thanks! Quote C.
