Hey Dondi...welcome to the site. I, too, am left-handed. There are certain whip finish tools that don't work well lefty. The Matarelli style works fine, however. The style with the spring arm is not so cool. One of the popular tiers to watch who is a lefty [and a master] is Charlie Craven. From what I've seen [i've got a bunch of his videos], he prefers to finish with a whip finish tool. He may be worth your time to watch...it has helped me. Good luck, and hope this helps. Cheers, Ed

Dondi,

I am left handed as well and I asked these very same questions that you are asking. Being left handed in a right handed world sucks at times but I have be able to adjust through out my whole life. Here are some links of some post that might help you. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
