As jackssmirkingrevenge said, older people have the resources. Im 16 and I can never get the time or money to build, but still do somehow. :lol: I started at 14, which was a bit young as I was stupid then and didnt understand everything fully. If you dont understand, dont do it!! or get info, understand, then do it!! Now I understand all of what I am doing which makes things safer obviously[/quote]

i was 7 when i almost died from a pencil entering my head.
i was 8 when i dicovered fireworks and fire
i was 10 when i started playing with flamethrowers, and took apart an arial mortar and used the propellant to build fireworks. i was also 10 when i bought about 800 fireworks in mexico, for about 5 bucks.
i was 10 when i almost fell off a 60 foot bridge into a crocodile infested waters.
i was 11 when i made my first mini cannon.
i was 13 when i made my first comsustion, and 3 pneumatics, including a theory burst disk cannon.
i am 14 now, and have almost shot my head off twice with my cannon. i need to make a safety.

ive done stupider stuff this year, but i dont care to go into them.

EDIT: i was 10 when i broke my tooth. had it replaced on my 11th birthday party :D

Well if he is 18, I'd guess that he would be graduating high school... unless he is some super genius who skipped ahead.

No one that i know of from here has herd from him. Since you live close, check up on him, tell him his spudfiles friends miss him, koum by ya, eeeeeew! Just tell him to keep in touch or don't be a stranger, or shut the f*ck up your making to much noise. Yea, the last one, tell him that one. Then dare him to come in and say something back. That mite wake him up.
