[Shop-talk] out of the shop

I had an instructor in the Navy who could write on a blackboard 
(remember them?) with either hand, but when he used his left hand 
everything was backwards/mirror image.  He did it mostly to annoy us.

Since I started teaching wood shop I have learned to do most manual 
tasks (sawing, chiseling, operating a lathe, etc)  with either hand so I 
can demonstrate with what ever hand is most convenient with respect to 
where the student is standing.
