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
Funnily enough I mostly saw them for preserving vegetables, mostly cucumbers. They're kind of making a comeback the last few years.
Any chance you know of any "official" info on safe usage of these types of jars? In the US, the national center for home food preservation has a lot of scientifically validated info for proper preservation in Mason jars (ph, processing times for water bath and pressure canning, etc.). I'm assuming there must be an equivalent source of info on the use of weck jars where they are more common.
