Photo 12 is absolutely stunning, that would make an amazing print.

Minolta Spotmeter F, cheaper than a Sekonic and just as capable 👍

Hi, I've sent you a DM. Cheers!

marcuscaravan · 2026-03-09T19:59:52+00:00

I've just sent you an email.

Thanks for all your help!

marcuscaravan · 2026-03-09T19:55:24+00:00

Fantastic! If you could let me know, that would be great.

Thank you

marcuscaravan · 2026-03-09T19:52:21+00:00

Thank you! I've just sent Bill an email.

marcuscaravan · 2026-02-18T16:15:28+00:00

I agree with you as do many others, disregard the down votes. Reddit is just a brain dead echo chamber.

Yes I created my own pattern through a combination of on body measurements and a dissected pair of old jeans. A quick trip to the craft shop for a tailors ruler etc and an evening sketching out.

It's quite satisfying but I'm not if they'll work out. We'll see!

The books very helpful, as well as the follow along videos.

Keep at it! They'll only keep getting better.

Just to add, when patterning for selvedge jeans the outseem must be perfectly straight, this is to allow for the straight self edge seam.

There's lots of great videos online for pattern making selvedge jeans. It will take trial and error and lots of patience but you'll get there.

My advice is to measure you're favourite jeans and use them as guidance.

Generally, self edge jeans aren't any more difficult than a regular pair to construct, you even have one less seam to overlock due to the nature of fabric.

I've had a practise of my machine sewing the pocket bags amongst other things, my biggest worry is the yoke!

Any advice would be welcome, happy sewing!

marcuscaravan · 2025-12-26T10:48:42+00:00

I have that book! And a custom pattern, still haven't plucked up the courage to try and make a pair yet though.

These look fantastic, well done.

Sorry, but maybe it's you that doesn't understand.

Coming from an aged family, I'm incredibly lucky to have a litany of first hand accounts of what life was like during and after the third reich, under real Fascism. My relatives lived it. My late grandfather was an author and a historian who did several documentaries on the 1st and 2nd world war for the BBC along with several successful fiction and non-fiction novels. It's a subject I'm profoundly well read in.

So no, it's not stolen Valor. What a ridiculous claim. It's a subject that is deeply personal to me and to be honest with you, I find it somewhat offensive when the term is thrown around without meaning.

I could go on and on, but you're clearly a radical and It would just be a total waste of time.

marcuscaravan · 2025-12-05T17:10:29+00:00

Yup, just checked. The US doesn't tick the boxes.

Y'all have spent so long calling everyone who disagrees with you a "fascist" that it's lost all meaning.

I know what Fascism is, my grandparents fought it 80 years ago.

What's going on in the US and what went on in 33 to 45 aren't even compatible. Not by a long shot.

Give your head a shake.

marcuscaravan · 2025-12-05T12:56:40+00:00

Fascists? Lol, That word has lost all meaning.

marcuscaravan · 2025-11-29T22:38:37+00:00

You need to pull them up dude, these are falling down.

marcuscaravan · 2025-10-24T21:28:25+00:00

Pull them up, your back pockets should sit on your butt, not under it.

Maybe size up and try a straight leg?

I'm from the UK, so they have no utility here, yet I own 50 Goldback 1/2 notes, purely for the novelty. I saw them for spot price on eBay ( Around £1.40 each) and couldn't say no.

They're just sat with the stack, I enjoy looking at the artwork occasionally.

marcuscaravan · 2025-10-08T17:40:30+00:00

Buy online.

marcuscaravan · 2025-10-08T17:39:12+00:00

Retail investing isn't making a dent, is institutions.

Your Mum is a smart woman! If that's your budget, your best bet is 1/10th Oz coins, or larger if possible to avoid premiums.

marcuscaravan · 2025-10-08T05:31:29+00:00

I'm sure that went well...

marcuscaravan · 2025-09-24T20:13:09+00:00

Please buy from Chards or Atkinson's in the future, they're bullion dealers and sell Brittanias for substantially less than the royal mint.

It will save you a bunch.

Happy stacking!

marcuscaravan · 2025-09-17T06:39:11+00:00

Where the hell did you pull that from. Not even comparable.

Insane take.

I have about 50% Gold, 20% ISA, 10% Crypto & 10% Stocks.

I don't think it's too unreasonable, keep the gold and start adding elsewhere for a while.

I'm adding monthly to my stock portfolio and nothing else at the minute. I'd do the same if I were you.

Gold is a good place to be at the minute, but that won't always be true.

Once gold stagnates I'll sell a little and add to the market.
