Thank you, Sir. Now, I'd like to make a straw broom, but I do not have a broom machine. Instead, I would have to find a way to purchase one of your fine brooms!

I enjoyed your video. This is something I would like to start doing, my problem is finding broom corn where I live. I have thought of trying to grow some here and see if our season is long enough for it to reach maturity. I make hand forged fire sets and the problem I have is trying to find broom heads for my hearth brooms. I think the solution would be to make them myself.
