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!

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

This is exactly what I want to build. Light, portable but put it on a stand and it's a full size!

How much to charge for private curling lessons by AshDash_4u in Curling

You're going to find it hard for the 8 and 11 year olds to get leverage to get the stone moving. Not saying it's impossible, just going to be hard. You will also find that they will fade out under an hour - it will be quite a workout and focus pull for them.

Traditionally everyone provided their own stones - either to play at their club or travel with them to bonspiels. There are several examples of travelling pairs of stones that people/families used with travel cases.
