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
I personally find that anything made out of metal is always(almost) better than there plastic alternative. I used to work in plumbing in my youth, at some point in my plumbing career I started refusing to install faucets made of plastic because the customer would always call us back because it started leaking.
There are plastics better than metal - but they are not cheap, most looking for plastics look for cheap and so often anything plastic you can get is junk.
I'm replacing my lead soldered copper with pex as I go.
