In this video I make a simple #plywood #birdbox, but only using my left (non-dominant) hand as my entry to my YouTube pal @Hand-i-craft Leo Winstanley’s #onehandedmakerschallenge. It was a fun challenge to take part in, and total respect to Leo and everyone else who continues their woodworking, their making, under difficult or challenging circumstances.

As mentioned in the video, these challenges in no way encourage or condone unsafe workshop practices - anyone who thinks otherwise really isn't paying attention - and I found that I was working more safely, more slowly, than ever partly because everything needed to be clamped down, and partly due to the amount of forethought that had to go into every operation, every cut had to be planned.

I’ll update the links to the challenge playlist when they become available. Enjoy!
