I'm right handed but shovel left handed, useful when you work in a foundry that uses 'green' sand as you have to shift a couple of tons of it twice a day (per moulder) once in the morning to prepare it for use by shovelling it through the 'chucker' and then you gradually use it up into moulds throughout the day.
It means you can work on the other side of the pile where no-one else wants to be cos it is awkward for them.
this could have been filmed in most of the foundries I worked in as a 'freehand moulder' for 10yrs or so.

I never had a labourer though
Fascinating! Not going to make many in a day though!
