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
Not to go all old school on you, but have your considered getting a kerosene lamp?
I like this idea, unfortunately I don't think I can trust everyone in the house with it quite yet!
@NABDad@lemmy.world Technology Connections has a great video on these. They're neat, but not great at turning energy into light, and not great for one's health when used indoors.
They can be run off of all sorts of fuels/oils in an emergency, so you don't have to worry about not having enough lantern fuel if you keep vegetable oil around.
I use paraffin oil in mine. Less odors, less soot.
