[Dennis Peacock]

OK....let's see what the age groups of all us ww'ers is here on SMC.

[Glenn Clabo]

Just enough to know better...53 11/12

[Kevin Gerstenecker]

Old enought to know better..........but still too young to care!
The tender age of 43..............44 in April. :D

[Mike Leonard]

In June I will celebrate the 26th anniversary of my 21st birthday.

[Wolf Kiessling]

OK....let's see what the age groups of all us ww'ers is here on SMC.

Knocking real hard on the door to 65 - about 6 weeks away...

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

[Dennis Peacock]

Well....I'm 44 and will be 45 in June......Sheesh....I used to think people in their 40's were "acient".....now only people over 100 are what I consider a Miracle.

[Jason Roehl]

I'm 5 months shy of the big 3-0. I see we're forming a pretty nice bell curve there with the results so far. Imagine that.

[Mark Singer]

I liked the saw blade survey a whole lot better! 55 and going strong

[Bruce Page]

53 3/12

Aside from a tooth heading south, I feel pretty good too!

[Spence DePauw]

Good choice of brackets. I just turned 60.

Spence

[Earl Reid]

I'll be 72 in May

[Terry Hatfield]

OK....let's see what the age groups of all us ww'ers is here on SMC.

Dennis,

Are you just bored or what???? :D

I'm 42 for now.

t

[Paul Kunkel]

A young 61. Still have 10 fingers(mostly), teeth, hair, and never work more than 8 hours a day. Broke, house broke, broken down(just artheritis), and broken arches. Ain't life fun? ;)

[Bob Lasley]

I'm thinking we should have a poll on what Dennis' next poll will be! ;)

I guess I can't knock Dennis, I keep responding to them!

Bob, sneaking up on 50 this year.

[Don Henthorn Smithville, TX]

16 more days and I will pass the 84 year mark. Still enjoy every day and thank the good Lord for each one.

[Todd Burch]

41 till November. And Jason, that's not a bell curve, that's my side profile!!

Todd.

[John Miliunas]

Just like the saw brand pole, I'm in the majority, thus far, at 47. :cool:

[Waymon Campbell]

44 yrs. young. My mind thinks I'm still 20, but my body laughs and says "yeah right"...

[Adan Madrid]

Hi,

I am new to SMC. Mark Singer from Laguna Beach sent me the link and said this was a great web page with a great group of woodworkers. I met Mark a couple of months ago. There is no disputing he knows a lot about woodworking and design. I have enjoyed our conversations and time spent in the shop.

I am 30 years old and have been woodworking for approximately 4 1/2 years. I spent the first few years refining my skills by making several shop cabinets and some furniture for my home.

I look forward to sharing ideas and shop stories with the group and of course . . . learning from the group's collective experience.

Welcome to the Creek Adan - from another California "kid" Born & raised In Van Nuys/Panorama City

[Jim Young]

At 38 I seem to be a little below the average age, but I'm catching up fast. :D

[Wolf Kiessling]

I would never have thought there were so many kids in this group :D

[Kevin Beck]

I'm 41 until October. One month older than Todd. I'm the old guy at the YMCA. Still lift weights and play basketball almost every day. The only thing I notice is that I take a lot longer to heal. As someone else mentioned, 40-something doesn't seem old now that I'm there.

Kevin

[Hans Kribbel]

Now its time to get serious about life. Times of worries, uncertainty and orientation are over -- lets start having fun.

45 since Christmas day.

[Jim Tobias]

OK....let's see what the age groups of all us ww'ers is here on SMC.

54 years young!

[Dennis Peacock]

Dennis,

Are you just bored or what???? :D

I'm 42 for now.

t

Well....no.......It is just interesting to see the various aspects of what SMC'ers are made of in terms of saw blade choices, age....and who knows what I will choose for the next poll.... ;)

Adan,

<b>WELCOME</b> to SMC..!!!! Jump on in and share what you know and learn all you can. All of SMC is here to help each other do better and reduce the overall learning curve of woodworking.

[David Blangger]

54 last September

[Wes Bischel]

I'm 40 I've recently noticed this stranger in the mirror - short bald and a gut - looks kinda like my dad . . . . :eek:


Must be the morning light

Wes

[Kurt Aebi]

Just went over the 40 hurdle last month. :cool:

Look forward to the next 60+!

Kurt

[Mark Singer]

Bruce,
I didn't know that...I'm originally from NYC...left when I was 9...came to So Cal.
Mark

[Noah Alkinburgh]

I can't believe there are only 5 of us in the 20-30 bracket.

As some have said I am just a young short punk who should be seen and not heard. :D Will be 28 in April.

Noah

[Dan Smith]

32 in March. Not that old, but sometimes it feels that way. Too much bodily abuse from sports when I was younger...

[Martin Shupe]

Noah

Noah, you are a young punk, but I enjoy your posts, so keep it up.

I am sad to say I am 42, 43 in March the same day as Jim Becker.

As George Burns used to say "I wish I was 18 again!" I would fix some mistakes, and skip the useless M.S. in Forestry.

Of course, it is better to be old than dead.

Martin

[Keith Starosta]

Next Monday, I'll turn 33. Maybe there'll be a new tool around to make me feel better..... :D

Keith

[Greg Griswold]

One more of the "old guys" - 56 and going strong

ClarkW

[Mike Cutler]

44 going on 14 according to my wife, but I still have alot of fun with life in general. Take care friends.

[Byron Trantham]

59 last September and still in one piece! :D

[Chad Pater]

30...here one more person in the "young punk" group...at least until July.
:( :(

[David Sophusson]

51 till August then the meter goes up another notch.

[Tony Sade]

I'm 51 and lately, feeling every bit of it. Growing old sucks in so many way, not the least of which is that hair stops growing on top and starts growing in the least attractive of places!

[Scott Coffelt]

I find the older I get the more teenagers look like their about 10 and 50 years olds look about 30. Youngins have nothing in common and the older folks have everything to talk about in common.

[David Plaskett]

65. Got my Medicare card this past Oct. Where has the time gone?

[Ken Frantz]

Made it to the number 63 the day before Christmas last year. Still young at heart, but the body doesn't say that!!!!!!! HI HI HI

KEN

[Eric Sanford]

43......for 2 more days, but fortunately I don't look any older than I did







yesterday! :)

Eric

[David Klug]

I was 68 in Sept. and I'm just tickled pink that I feel so good.

Dave

[Bill Roland]

Well I turned the big 60 in October. It looks like I am part of the majority.

[Keith Starosta]

I'm 51 and lately, feeling every bit of it. Growing old sucks in so many way, not the least of which is that hair stops growing on top and starts growing in the least attractive of places!

I like to call this the 5th Stage of Puberty.....where the hair on top of your head slides down and takes root on your back. :(

Keith

[Mike Evertsen]

50 next month,,,,,,,

Adan -

Welcome to the Creek. Pull up a log and dangle your feet for a while.

Ted

[Don Bergren]

I'm five months into my 45th year. Or as I like to say when a woman asks how old I am... I'm old enough to know how, and smart enough to try. :D

[Ken Salisbury]

Thanks for putting one more category older than me. If you had not done that I would have been slightly ticked off :D.

[Dennis Peacock]

Ken,

I have to keep "the old rebel" in mind on these things..!!! ;)

I noticed that you moved the thread to the OT side......Thanks for moving it....I just posted it to the PT forum side since the majority of the people hit there and never really hit the OT side.

[Keith Outten]

Aaron,

Please extract the age stats from the database and post them here. Since we have the birthdates of most of our members we can get a more accruate graph that represents almost 90% of our members.

[Aaron Koehl]

OK....let's see what the age groups of all us ww'ers is here on SMC.
Well, everyone-- here are the results of querying the SMC database.
For you statistics folks, it forms a very nice standard normal curve.
(Well, almost, there is a bit of left skewing, but the mean, median, and
mode are all very close)

There are around 700 (697) members who left their birthdays blank.
Of everyone else, here is what I pulled:

0 people over the age of 90. (Ken Salisbury? :D )
16 members in their 80s.
86 members in their 70s.
245 members in their 60s.
265 members in their 50s. (Keith)
240 members in their 40s.
105 members in their 30s.
6 members in their 20's (Aaron), and
No teens.

_Aaron_

[Hans Kribbel]

is there nobody in his 40's??

[Ken Frantz]

BOY----THERE SURE IS A BUNCH OF OLD PECKERWOODS AND OLDER PECKERWOODS IN THIS BUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in the older section NOW!!!!!!

KEN

[John Schreiber]

I turn 41 in 10 days.

For a while, I've been old enough to know how little I know.

I've been hoping that as I get older, I'll actually know something, but it hasn't happened yet.

[John Miliunas]

is there nobody in his 40's??

Hey, yeah! Guess us 40-something guys don't count. :(

[Joe Breid]

50 Last June

[Ken Salisbury]

0 people over the age of 90. (Ken Salisbury? :D )

_Aaron_


You will pay dearly for this one :D

[Bruce Page]

Hey, yeah! Guess us 40-something guys don't count. :(
Couldn't have said it better myself. :D

[Dennis Peacock]

You will pay dearly for this one :D


Go get him Ken..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bart Leetch]

Well I'm now 51 as of last Oct. Its good to be is such young company with people like Ken Salisbury not to mention all the talented people that post here.

[John Miliunas]

Go get him Ken..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Dennis, the old folks (50+ crowd) have us beat! :D (There! I feel better now!) :D :cool:

[Mark Singer]

John,
We have you beat alright! In more ways than one!
Mark

[Ed Falis]

So far it looks like what I use to think of as older folks. Now I think of them as middle age. Interesting poll Dennis.

Roger

Looks like the expected "frog in the snake" baby boomer effect.

[Bud North NJ]

In 26 years from July, I'll be 100.
Go ahead reach for the calculator. ;)
