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
They're stupid expensive, but my Mykita titanium frames (despite how the name sounds, German company, made in Germany) are around a decade old and I've replaced the lenses in the same frames three times (b/c plastic lenses scratching and all that). They're as good as when I bought them and won't be surprised if I still have then in another 10 years.
The titanium has had a hand in it, but the hinges are the amazing innovation that I believe has kept them going; that's where my old frames always broke.
The original screwless hinges AFAIK were from https://www.ic-berlin.com/ people later left there and started mykita.
Nice! Whomever it was, they did a fantastic job.
