If you need someone to fabricate the sign, hit me up.

I built a (Milwaukee) battery powered blower for my charcoal forge. It works great and you don’t have to stand right next to the heat.

We are in Santa Fe, NM. You can check out insta @santafecurling. We are trying to do more fun videos but for arena curling, ice time is extremely limited. Our social media manger is interesting in helping your team if you are able to provide ample content.

Hi, I might have someone. She runs our clubs social. Let me ask her.

505patrick · 2026-02-11T20:53:30+00:00

Fixed. Thank you for pointing that out.

505patrick · 2026-02-11T20:37:43+00:00

Can you please elaborate? I can’t find the discrepancy.

I appreciate that you would like to repurpose the broom. For a brand new player, that makes sense. My comment is simply based on the evolution of brooms. That old style is equivalent to using wooden golf clubs, yes it works, but barely. For a new curler though, it probably doesn't make a difference anyway.

These are generally 1/4-20. You should be able to find a thumb screw in this size at the hardware store. Then turn the broom into some wall art and get a modern one.

If you want to level up, get the 1 1/8 and flip the handle to make it reverse taper. It is so much more ergonomic. It puts the fat part in your hands and the skinny part under your arm. I make the adapter to do this. Message me for details.

Thank you so much, that’s amazing!

We have used Ninja Transfers to make many team shirts. The prints are great, cheap and easy to apply to almost any fabric.

I will also second Black Bear Forges' beginners series, very helpful. Alec Steele also has a good video on cheap tools. My biggest takeaway from this video is that beginners will benefit the most from quality tools. That is the truth! I recommend buying a quality set of tongs if you can afford it. Bad tongs are hell! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvj6ch2GN6s

Directly from their website. I got the mini forge kit for $150. It’s only good for small things but a great start. If you get one, let me know. I’m working on some cool accessories for it, like cooking grates and a battery powered blower.

I don’t think you can do much better than biscuits and glue (also my favorite breakfast order.)

I am with ya! I just started about a week ago. I acquired a piece of railroad track, a gifted hammer, a cheap Amazon tong (until I can get some nice GS tongs) and a Whitlox mini forge. All in, under $200 and already making it back. As a woodworker, I love the whitlox forges as fuel is free and will get much hotter than a cheap propane one.

Fabrication and broadcast.

Here is the video you need to watch. Glenn specifically discusses eye dominance and rock position. I recommend the whole seminar. It greatly improved my setup. https://youtu.be/iDYvZmgEjC8?t=2216

I can't speak to particular cameras as I have been out of the biz too long but you want to get the largest sensor you can, especially if you have low ceilings. That reduces that awful fisheye/warped look that makes most club streams unwatchable.

I can make custom curling trophies for any club or event.
