In reading all these replies, I've noticed something.

Most of us don't know an exact number. We started young doing other things, and sorta eased into upholstery work. A lot of us stumbled into this trade quite by accident.
Some of us went off and did other stuff, and came back.

Many of us have a parent that can tell you their exact starting and retirement day of a job they worked all their life.

But us stitchers just woke up one day, and realized that we been doing this work for a long, long time.

But we're not real sure just exactly how long.

Started my apprenticeship with Trans Australian Airlines on the 2 of February 1977, that exact enough? :)
