I can file a "well used" 32" chain in thirty min. off one side of the vise

This thread reminds of a book by John Steinbeck, called "The Red Pony" (required reading in school). All I remember from the story is that there was a cow hand who always kept one hand in a glove. That was because he used that hand to touch his wife, so he wanted it to be smooth without rough calluses. I guess that would have to be the preferred hand.

Jay, I think that was in "of mice and men" a different Steinbeck story. And that character kept the glove filled with vaseline to keep his hand soft.....

Very interesting! So out of 36 people polled so far, 20 are right handed and 16 are either left handed or ambidextrous. Statistically, it should have been 32 right handed and only 4 lefties & ambi's. I wonder why?
In medievil UK, it was common amongst border reiver clans to leave the left hand out when a baby was christened. That way when he was an adult he could strike blows against other Christians with his left hand that without fear of damnation. Consequently, left handers are very common among border reiver families. It is known as being Kerr-handed, because the Kerrs were almost totally lefties.

I can cut with either hand but only juggle chainsaws with two hands to maintain safety.

Echo chainsaws, the juggler's choice. I'd put the chain on backwards if I were him.

That's a crazy show, based completely on slowing stuff down. Whutta odd concept.
Cute, but not all that dangerous. He has them running at half gas, so the chain is not running at speed.
Really, it is no different from juggling knives, axes or flaming torches, it just makes more noice.
By the way, neither of the above are hard to juggle, once you know how.

I'm primarily a righty, but can left hand a 200t when the need arises.
