Greetings From Michigan

TLGriff:
Thanks Matthew.

Yes, I hear a lot from you lefties. It's not my fault they made the lathe backwards!  :)

Tom,

it wasn't until I saw your video that I even thought about right-handed filing on the lathe, it amused me as I've spent my whole life adapting to this right-handed world, from scissors to electric planes that spew wood shavings all over you if you're a leftie!

Cheers, Matthew

It's reading a digital caliper on work in the lathe chuck that gets me. Need to stand on my head  :(

It'd be interesting to poll the forum membership for lefthandedness - I reckon it's be above the average 1 in 7 in the general population.

This is getting off topic!

Micrometers are a real pain too!

Matthew
