Soon to be 36. Started folding at age 3.

Why do younger people worry so much about getting old? You're farther from it. The best advice I received when I was an adolescent was that "life starts at 30". That allowed me to enjoy my adolescence so much more because I stopped worrying about age so much.

I am 30 years old. When I sent registration information to Hungary convention, I specify my origami age more than 20 years (I do not remember exactly, but not more than 25, I suppose).

everybody wants to become old, but nobody wants to be old.

you are really depressing old... maybe you should fold faster, because soon your hands will begin shaking

... but shaking hands would help me a lot folding ronald kohÂ´s king cobra, especially the folds starting with step 98: just take the paper in your hands, and all the pleating will be done automatically! IÂ´m sure that it wouldnÂ´t take me 20 hours to fold the cobra, but only 17!

You've still got 40 more years to live(or more...depending on your health)

IÂ´m planning to become at least 91: to see comet halley twice ... if my eyes are not really really too baad

I just figured out that most of the posters donÂ´t have the possibility to see comet halley twice, even if they want to! itÂ´s pure mathematics: a tricky equation including your age, the year 1986 and the cometÂ´s orbital period!

hehehe ... $\:D/$

I don't think I can live to see comet halley!

my respect to all of you (I mean the younger members of this forum ... that reminds me once again of my garguantuan age

) : if I remember correctly, IÂ´ve folded simple boats and hats and so on with the age of eleven ... I didnÂ´t even know the term "origami" at that time.

I think that I can learn very much of your hints and tips concerning origami, with all the enthusiasm and engagement of you ...

I donÂ´t know exactly who always says "keep folding"

hmm...

I still remember watching the comet Halley together with my Dad when I was very, very small

I might live to see it again.

Everybody is posting the age they started folding... if paper airplanes (with no cuts!) count as origami, then I've been folding since around the age of three. But, if you just mean cranes, flapping birds and things like that, then I've only been folding since about the age 11. Then again, growing up in Nova Scotia where my friend (still trying to get him to join the forum!) and I seem to be the entire origamist population, it's pretty hard for me to have started folding models at a very young age

Soon to be 14! Just 5 more days!
