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.

My preferred solution: an USB power bank with an integrated LED light. The power bank is a DIY version which is sold empty and can be filled with second-hand 18650 cells pulled out of broken power tools or laptop batteries (6 cells in parallel).
They're sold from China for about 6 € and provide light for tens of hours when filled with 6 x 1700 mAh cells. I think the brand was "Haweel".
