Sawing with one eye
I am right handed. However, since birth,
I suffer from amblyopia - lazy eye - in my right eye. This means I can not sight down a saw when cutting dovetails or other hand saw procedures. The alternative is to switch hands, which I have tried with minimal results. My left hand is not as strong - nerve damage - as my right. I chose to use power tools to do any kind of cutting that I would love to use hand tools - dovetails come to mind. Curious if anyone has dealt with this and what they have done. If you want to see what this is like, close your dominant hand eye and then try to saw a straight line. It's damn hard. MJ |
