As I recall most power tools are made for right-hand folks which makes them
awkward for south-paws at best. While in the service and qualifying with a
rifle on odd years I did lefthand and even years I did righthand and I have
to tell you the M14 is darned awkward for a lefty.

Subject: [Elecraft] Left-handed amputations
Remember the quote I found and put into both the solicitation and report
regarding left-handers being more accident prone, and more likely to
amputate fingers and thumbs with power tools?
I volunteer at the local blood center, and today a woman came in to
donate. Her husband was with her on crutches, with one of those
full-leg heavy splints with the foam rubber on his right leg. He saw my
leg brace and after I had told him my story, I asked him if he had had
knee surgery. He said, "No, unfortunately I tried to amputate my leg
with a power saw." I asked him, "Are you left handed?" He said, "Why
yes, I am ... very much so. How did you know?" He seemed to be in some
amount of pain, and I decided it best to let it go with, "Just a lucky
guess."
