Never minding your personal predicament and how even in this day and age lefties are obviously left to their handicapped fate
, that mod turned out gorgeous, love the fin too! Makes me want to reverse my bass playing skills!!!
PS: My first year in school was in 1966/67, that was actually also the first year where German schools gave up forcing lefties to be righties based on a new recommendation of the education board that had gone out. But the principal would still make impromptu visits in our class to "check" whether the lefties were really "comfortable" in writing left-handed; not in an intimidating way, but genuinely concerned about what was obviously still deemed as an unfortunate affliction.
One leftie - Ralf - sat right in front of me, I remember the principal bowing down to him and even gently taking his left hand with which Ralf was scribbling/"shoving the pencil" away: "
Can you actually write with that?"
No worries, Ralf stuck with writing left-handed - as did all the other lefties in class (I think we had three, two boys, one girl, roughly 10%). I still crack jokes about it. For some reason, attorneys seem to be quite often lefties and whenever I "detect" one at the office I comment: "
OMG, you're a lefty, how did that slip through with our HR people?! " Invariably, they crack back: "
As creative and smart people tend to be!" These days, they even celebrate it ...
