Well,
I suppose it's time for me to add my mug to the line-up.
And before Sam discredits me because I use fixed shade lens in fibre-metal helmets, I'm sure he'll like to know I'm making the transition.....

WerkSpace,
I can see how that "Sonny Bono" look in the first picture would frighten the trick-or-treaters....
The second picture is right out of "Living Dead--The Game", so a natural for today's kiddies.

Seriously, I was getting carded for cigarettes and beer until I was 40 or better. My brother, OTOH, was buying beer for his buddies when he was 14.

You are a lot younger than I had you pegged. I was thinking 40-50 by the hands and quality/type of work.

John,
We're just playing.
You've earned your respect here.
Looking young is just something you're stuck with until it changes, and I wouldn't wish any hurry on that to anyone.

I remember what it was like to be a teen withing you were older and a little ashamed of your actual age. We all go through that John. There are days I wish I was 40 when I don't getthe respect I feel I deserve in certain situations. I am 28 and proud of it. Can't change it, can't rush it, it is what it is.
BTW, John is 17 since he won't share his age. There is no reason to be ashamed nor not willing to share how old you are John. All we have to do is look back at your threads and we can see everything you have done at such a young age. I will admit, before we befriended each other I thought you were my age, expecially from your voice. You are right Mick, for 17 he knows a lot more and has done a lot more than most his age. I wish I had his experience when I was 17, imagine what I could be today! Ok, I might have opened myself up with that comment.

I too was shocked...had no clue John was that young based on what work I had sent, hats off... I was put into a management position when I was 20 so I had guys twice my age working for me, gained/earned their respect.
Age is just a number. I'm 37 by the way....

John,
Tell them the reason you stay looking so young is from eating bull stones.
If you spend your days doing man's work and acting like a man, then it doesn't matter how many birthdays you've had.
I'll take bits of knowledge from any source I can get it, I get computer advice all the time from people less than half my age and look up to them for teaching me, it's all good no matter the sources age.
