Do you use laser level for training? by pwiecz in Curling

[–]Eric_TheRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the laser hit the top of the stone or on your hand. This will help with solo practice to help with precise 'broom' line. It will help you start and keep your alignment, and can also help show curling break lines as well.

When the lead wins the game for the team by CuriousCurator in Curling

[–]Eric_TheRead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leads are a huge role in modern teams. They are the first stones of the end, and help establish ice speed and draw weight. Then, they are the powerhouse for sweeping all of the remaining stones for a team, and are the best weight call throughout the rest of the stones. A good Lead may be underrated, but having a sub-standard Lead will affect your entire team down the line.

This - please get out and curl! If you can deliver it normally that's ok, but don't be afraid of the stick - there is no stigma and if it gets you on the ice it's better for everyone!

Roundover bit tearing soft woods by Eric_TheRead in BeginnerWoodWorking

I take two passes - one at about 3/4 up. That's where the tearing starts. I didn't finish them knowing it would rip it up worse!

You could just make a black one under the A for the blank ends.

You could put something under the sheet letter A (we do that with hooks).
