A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
At least once a month something breaks in my house and we have vinyl planks all over.
It's certainly a team effort between me, my wife, son and the cats. God forbid we leave a glass empty or not out where they can reach it.
I lost my grandmas casserole dish when I had what I can only assume was the best casserole in the world sitting on the stove right out of the oven and my trouble maker cat decided to taste test it, realized how hot it was and got in a fight with it.
The cat won.
