Aside from strength, how is your proprioception? If you swing with the clumsy side are you gonna hit yourself in the nuts with the mallet? :lol: I am only laughing at you hitting yourself in the nuts. :)

When you go for the large tikis, larger than small table toppers, you might consider Velcro!! This idea is based on holding the chisel with your weak side. You can wrap chisel handles with the rough side of Velcro and have the soft side sewn into a glove. Use a strap wrapped around the right wrist leading to your left shoulder, maybe 18ish inches long or what ever is comfy. That way you never knock your weak hand farther than what ever the length of the strap is. You may even want a wrist brace. You may want a strap around your right elbow attached to your right hip 6-12 inches long to help prevent unwanted movement.
And get a leather apron, maybe combined with chainsaw chaps, in the case that you knock a chisel into your lap. Not that it would ever be aimed in that direction! :o Especially if you choose the angle grinder method. Avoid the Lancelot at all costs!

Maybe all the straps and such could be attached to the apron. This would also make an awesome Halloween costume to scare the kiddies with. For Halloween substitute chains for the straps. Get some dark red paint and flick it on the apron, maybe even wig hair. :D Bwwahahahah.
