So when am I old?

According to my 12 year old daughter, you're official old at 40. You'll know because you'll get Shingles and flu shots will be imperative. So, you're good for awhile!

Happy Birthday!

Mike your a young gun still lol enjoy it I missed out on being 18-21 cuz of bad choices and living in a haze and an ex fiancé that wanted nothing but drugs money and no fun lol. Haha k ill be sure to watch for the signs of old age Brandi :) thank you again everyone my favorite community by far haha

Happy birthday!

I'm 42 and still don't feel old. Okay, my right knee's about 65 but we don't pay attention to that unless it's really loud :P

Shoot, my husband's 51 and he just built a smelter in the backyard to smelt his own aluminum and hijacked my cookie tub to make a mold for pouring ingots. Why? Because he can. Because he's a giant, grey-haired teenager who's allowed to play with fire. It makes him happy :)

Relax, enjoy... you've got years before you have to worry about "old".

Thank you for bday wish haha and as far as learning black smithing I have an uncle that's a master black smith like builds things for tons of people. (Know you ment the question for the other person ha) He has taught me how to blacksmith and has told me the best way to get into it is to buy a anvil and a small smithy then start on small things first I learned how to make nails and the things that hold up shelves once you learn how to do the easy stuff you slowly add more like I can make a decent knife now well couple years ago haven't tried in a while. Check at your community college sometimes local black smiths will have a class that's apart from the college it's so much fun learning black smithing tho if your creative I recommend it

haha no worries m8....Very cool! Good advice...When I was living back at the parents place I spent a year taking welding courses just to start off...I'd love to get into black smithing eventually..dont have the time or space right now (small house with 3 other housemates). I will definitely have to look into the area...Winchester, VA is definitely not the DC metro area so things are a bit more limited in offerings out here...
