In the middle ages a leftie was known as "sinister" - not a compliment I am led to believe

 

Yes - and bulbous thumbs were referred to as 'murderer's thumbs'.

Right handed but can use a saw either way around, I'm always switching right to left and back again with my 020 when cutting and chucking so as to not cross arms. Same when using a big saw to chog down, switch to which ever is comfiest, plus gives each arm a bit of a rest.

I'm right handed but have always used a saw either way, it wasn't until I was doing my tickets I switched hands and was told that I shouldn't do it as the saw wasn't designed for left handed use! didn't stop me though, I just do whatever is most comfortable!
