Making Stones!

[dinorocks]

After many hours of constructing and testing different prototypes, my brother and I just finished making a couple sets of curling stones for our ice rink last night.  They weigh in at an official weight of 44 pounds each.  Now all we need is some cold weather to harden up the ice so we can lay out the lines and pebble the ice surface.  We tested several different methods of making lines (and circles) on the ice and found that routering about ½ inch deep into the ice and using brightly colored crate paper covered with water works the best.  In previous years, we put LED lights under the ice to mark our hockey lines.  A couple weeks back we put up a 30 ft pole with 300 Watt LED lights…very bright!  Our rink is about 40 ft by 100 ft.  Our plan is to start a couples curling league with some of our friends.

Below are a few pics.

Not gonna lie a little disappointed your brother appears to be severely folicly challenged. Man the led lights under the ice sounds awesome! Can't wait to see the finished project. One day gonna make the curling stones from granite?

When I hit tonight’s megamillions, my first purchase might be land near dinorocks and then employee Him full time to do whatever he wants on my land!
