I noticed I was replicating your exact approach to how you held, worked and placed the spindle in the shave horse and finally realized it was a bit awkward because I was imitating a lefty. Then Curtis continued the on slot of lefty influence. Fortunately, like my father, I can do most things pretty well left handed. Like Greg mentioned, shoot pool.<br /><br />I understand in an editors office it might seem reasonable to ask you to switch but frankly I think the average person is smart enough to get the concept without the need of seeing it actually done right handed. I mean, how do the leftys get by with all this right handed instruction? I guess you would say they are just smarter.

I found the YouTube segments very helpful, and never gave a thought about which hand you were using. The comments you made, the techniques you show - apply to either hand. I think FWW is silly asking for you to do things right handed.greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696875704714328112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-14720879137477222662012-12-14T16:24:39.902-05:002012-12-14T16:24:39.902-05:00I find myself deliberately pushing my "other&...I find myself deliberately pushing my "other" handed manual skills. In turning and carving, the angle of the required cut frequently requires using "off" handedness. The folks I play pool with know I won't use the "cow", preferring to use the opposite hand to make the shot instead. I'm not ambidextrous by all means, but I encourage everyone to try their skills with their "Other" hand.greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696875704714328112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-32396184848782700762012-12-14T09:13:19.536-05:002012-12-14T09:13:19.536-05:00I think we all understand you are a talented craft...I think we all understand you are a talented craftsman/artisan, but I must say that you are also a skilled communicator and teacher... your writing technique is very good. I enjoy your blogs not only from the woodworker prospective but I find parts of them applicable to other things which interest me outside of woodworking. I pass them along to my son who I think can learn from you even though he has no interest in woodworking.<br />ThanksGrumpyNeanderthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289928254708928254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-77165323171848547702012-12-14T08:50:48.686-05:002012-12-14T08:50:48.686-05:00Mollydookers über alles!!!Mollydookers über alles!!!Bernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345033254036913071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-39246751871282170652012-12-13T20:17:23.592-05:002012-12-13T20:17:23.592-05:00I use the technique of switching to my non-dominan...I use the technique of switching to my non-dominant hand when I teach guitar to beginners.

I learned to turn spindles watching your videos. Your left handed turning was a simple mirror image of my right handed method. That made it quite simple for me. Thanks again for sharing your skill.

Not strongly left handed, but the saw handle, the plane tote, chisel, screwdriver, etc. ... all naturally fall to my left hand.<br /><br />Publishers should recognize that - I'm steadily reversing diagrams and pictures. Basic examples: shooting board, sawing, etc.<br /><br />My bench has the vise at the "wrong" end, new one will have it on the right end - and I'll see if that works any better. <br /><br />Cheers - Miles Thompson<br />Enfield, NSMileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955222680755350733noreply@blogger.com
