Cutting boardsI’ve been meaning to ask if you have ever considered left-handed cutting boards? I do quite a lot of patchwork & the most popular suppliers of materials looked at me as if I was mad when I enquired at a large patchwork event. They told me just to turn the board around! This doesn’t work as one side is shown in inches & the other in centimetres, both going from left to right. (I hope this makes sense - you might like to try it out on an old envelope!). I usually just subtract e.g. 18″ - 7″ = 11″, but it would be much easier with a left-handed board! I would imagine other left-handed quilters & craftspeople would be glad of this too. | We have not come across anything like this - we had to have our own left-handed rulers made with the scales going form right to left and I guess this is something that would need to be custom-made as well. This normally requires a large volume (minimum for our rulers is 2,000 of each size at a time) so is not easy for specialist products like your cutting board.
We’ll keep a look out and if anyone knows of a source for these please add a comment to this page. |
HacksawRight-handed full size hacksaws (not the puny junior hacksaw types) have the blade flush to the left and the frame to the right, so the right-handed person can make a flush cut with the right hand. A left-handed hacksaw naturally would be a mirror image with the blade flush to the right. I can't find one anywhere. Do you have a tool supplier who would make a left-handed hacksaw? |

We used to but unfortunately the manufacturer ceased trading.
We are aware of a product that is being sold as left handed - but we rejected this design some years ago as, in our view, it was not truly lefthanded.
We are still looking for a manufacturer to produce a proper lefthanded product for us.
Sorry
Years ago my husband had a mug that my parents had bought him but unfortunately it broke. I have been looking for a similar mug and have been unable to find one anywhere. It was a left handed mug with the words 'Specially designed for left handers in mind' and had 3 holes cut out on right side so only a left handed person could use it. Do you stock anything like this? or would you be able to get hold of one or know where I could get one from please?

I am not trying to sell anything; I'm merely telling you about an item I use.
For a few years now, I have been using widescreen notepads (see below, it should be page 4). I came across them at FedEx Office, then I ordered some for myself directly from Roaring Springs. They are nice because you have much more room to write; very nice for us that don't write as small and as pretty as a right-hander lol. Also, there is not wire on any side of the paper. I've yet to find notebook covers for them that work well, however I am still looking. I just thought that you might be interested in looking at them.

Please help

A ladle. Honey is sticky as *** and I spill plenty without a lefthanded ladle.
I use a springback hardback book for my Open University course but have found a problem with dividing the different parts of.my file. At present, I have some homemade subject dividers rather than using the usual right handed ones upside down (with the hole punch on the right and the tab on the left). Would it be possible for you to consider producing something like this.
I look forward to your comments on this possibility.

Any chance of a left-handed ladle? Would be really useful for serving soup, casseroles etc without making too much of a mess.
Kind regards
Thanks!
Any ideas??

Can you help me, I do a lot of modelmaking, ie scale model galleons etc. For a long time now I have been looking for sets of l/h wood files but everywhere I look I cannot find any model shops that stock l/handed small wood files. Now if I look up american modellins shops etc, lo and behold there are L/handed files of all sorts. I dont want to have to send to america for my supplies as it takes a long time, and you have to pay import taxes etc. Can you help me.
much obliged
Don
Keep up the great work.
Hope you can help! Thanks!
If I'm honest I rarely have any problems using the usual right-hand oriented items like pencil sharpeners and tin openers, but the ruler thing does bug me!
Sewing Machines already are left handed, they were invented by a lefty which is why the needle is on the left not the right. :) So any sewing machine is a left handed sewing machine.
I use right handed scissors perfectly, I play the guitar right handed... I even have good hand writing because my mum taught me how to hold the pen and not smudge..
its not a problem at all.. just keep teaching...
Dont be caught up in needing to buy left handed things...Its not necessary and it costs a fortune..
I have a LH child as well as RH child... and I dont treat them any differently , amazingly the LH one is just as good as the RH at everything, but has the benefit of also being ambibex...
Recently borrowed a neighbour's food mill, but as a lefty I found it didn't work, till I realised I was turning it the "wrong" (lefty) way. Any chance of a left-handed food-mill (for sieving pips out of fruit puree, etc) ?? Thanks! Lefty-Lisa
He has to concentate so hard when using the camera upside down that he isn't able to get any decent pictures quickly. He wants to be able to react quickly and get the spontaneous snaps that the other 90% take for granted so is desperate to find a lefty.
however, in roller hockey the hockey stickes are for playing on either face/side - I know this as i went on to play the sport. I believe ice hockey is the same and therefore these two sports do not have a negative on being left handed.
Many fixed spool reels are advertised as being ambidextrous for right or lefthanded people.
For technical reasons a true left handed reel flier should rotate anti-clockwise when viewed from the front. None of the so called ambidextrous reels do.
Years ago manufacturers provided separate models for left and right handed use.
There are a lot of left handed fishermen in the uk and abroad. I am sure there is a market for them Can the club make some enquiries of manufacturers for lefties reels
Does it exist?
I wanted to let you know that, my friends have invented a left handed notebook,if
you wanted to get them I can help you
I am living in Canada and I am going to sell them here,let me know if you are interested on them.
Thank you,
Ali
I'd love to ask: how about a left handed camera?
Although I grew up in a right handed world, it would be so helpful to take pictures/change focus/etc etc with my left hand ...
