Popular Post John B Posted April 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Not sure if people still have big twenty first birthday parties and get presented with keys. The 1st one I made for my daughter, before I new about purchasing small photo frames. It opens for signatures. The second for my Cousin's Son (She placed photos in it before presenting it on the night I think Christine's is pine and merranti and the other is pine and jarrah with his name in Sandalwood.

loftyhermes Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 We do it in the UK, also on the 18th birthday as it's now the year of the coming of age. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidAlien Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I think here in the US, we just go drinking. My 21st, I was at sea, poking holes in the ocean, studying up for watchstation quals and seriously questioning some decisions in life. LOL They look great, though!

John B Posted April 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 21 was the coming of age, when you had the right to vote, drink and make your own way in life. As Steve said, 18 is the big party now days. Here is the traditional song 21 Song RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackman Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 That is just one of the things I like about this forum hearing about how things are in other parts of the world. When I turned 21 I was in the Army on Okinawa. Army didn’t give me a key lol. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 See, those Aussies and there ways. This is a great tradition I had not heard of before. I agree in America they go drink. My granddaughter sent us a picture of her having "her first drink" when she turned 21. I said ya, right, aren't you the granddaughter that bragged to me once that she had 5 different fake IDs!... She is always trying to shock us, by we know she is a great girl. John B, wombatie and RabidAlien 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfold Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I got a 'key' for my 21st as did we all in those days, but as has been said it's not 18. I'm old fashioned though and still prefer the 21st birthday key. I got my daughter a key when she reached 21 and she said I was 3yrs too late wombatie and John B 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I still have my keys from when I turned 21 and I gave my daughters keys for their 21st's even though 18 was the new 21. I love your idea of putting information on the inside to let the recipient know what happened the year they were born. Great work John.
