Wondering how old most of the memebers are here, At 42 I feel I've learned a lifetime of information here.

I'm in but I do know some members who won't get to vote as they are over 70, well over 70. We live a lot longer now-a-days you know ;-))

I heard that before, why is that? I am 24, just starting out in woodworking and have learned so much already mostly from the members here.

You are required to grow older but you can stay immature almost indefinitely.

67/ Wish I had gotten more involved before I retired 3 years ago. Something called "making a living" got in the way.

46 for a short while yet.

Aging is mandatory. Getting old is optional.

Here's an interesting question: Who is the oldest member on the forum who has never used a dial telephone? (Not me.) About what year did dial telephones go extinct?

We have a red wall mount dial telephone in our kitchen. I like the ring it does, vibrates the wall. Got it off an auction site.

I have 2 boys.....15 & 13 years old. Both of them woodwork from time to time. So they would be voting in the <20 age bracket. One of them is a member here on SMC.

Oh...and I'll be 51 next month.

I don't know that they are extinct. My parents live in a rural area. They had a rotary phone up until two years ago. My dad spent about a week total on the phone with the phone company to get changed over to touch tone.

My grandfather, who lived a little less than a quarter of a mile from my parents, still had a party line phone in the late 70's.

I miss rotary phones. I also miss dialing only the last four digits of the phone number.

Wait until you are 75. Then you will wish you felt like you were 31 again and had been up for 36 hours.

I will be 60 in September and already wish that were the case. Of course, I have done a few more things to abuse my body than most. A few good bicycling wrecks and getting flattened by a truck can all come back to haunt your joints later.

One of the great things about a forum like this is our lives knowledge gets spread around. It used to be when people left this world they took a whole library's worth of know how with them.

10% of the ages you have listed twice.:D What are you supposed to pick if you are 30, 40, 50, 60, or 70?

I'm in my early twenties, I'm shocked to see that my age group is such a minority on this board... but then again after looking back and recalling how my woodworking class was structured... it matches the age distribution percentages of the current poll, sorta funny.

Looks like the baby boomers are leading the pack again.
