leatherworkers who are lefties

[azrider]

So I am not a lefty, but am curious. I learned to shoot pool from a lefty, and can't play right handed. I hold my stamping tools, including the bevlers and shaders with my left hand. I use the maul with the right. Is that how right handed people usually do it?

I'm a Lefty, Though i'm Right Eye Dominant and shoot Longarms like a righty would, I can shoot pistols with either hand but it takes longer to line up the sights and thumb back a hammer in the left. i can Use Groovers/edge Bevelers/rotary punches in either hand, yet i can't cut straight with a knife in my right hand. Or I Could just say i'm Strange!

I'm left handed. I hold my stamping tools with my right hand and my maul in my left. That's just what's comfortable for me.

Lefty here too. I'm fairly ambidextrous with most things though, I can swing a hammer with either hand, shoot either way, with tooling? Mallet in the left, tool in the right.

Lefty here as well, I've yet to find a comfortable way of holding my Dixon plough gauge and have swapped to the free hand stitch groover. I use a computer mouse in my right hand though which comes in handy when I'm drawing with a wacom tablet, I can bring up any menus with the mouse and continue drawing with the pen.

another lefty. i only eat and write with my left hand though. all sports are done right handed, tool in left, mallet in right. i think being forced to adapt so much, it's just natural now to dig right into new ventures with the right hand, kinda sad, i am really proud of being left handed! i like being out of "the norm" i knew that when the other kids were teasing me, it was because they were jelous

haha, just noticed..the dancing dude in my previous post....starts off with his left hand!

Lefty's are the only ones in their right mind, We are just gifted.

I'm a lefty too. I write and eat with my left but throw and bat righthanded. I guess I'm ambidextrous. But my right arm is stronger, probably from pulling the flywheel on my Landis 3. As far as stitch grovers, I've got a Bob Douglas and you can set it up left handed. Chris

Here's another good ol' southpaw here. While I don't suffer from tendinitis, I do have arthritis in all my major joints and it's starting to go into my hands (and I'm only 35!).

Right now the only tool I have some difficulty with is my stitch groover.
