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 that it is particularly helpful, but I still have my docs that I bought 30 years ago. They literally survived my house burning down, I dug them out of the ashes. Everything I have heard is that new docs suck and Solovair are essentially what the old docs are, so I'd go with those.
This is freakin awesome. (er, sorry for your house, I meant that the shoes survived...) You shold give them a name, like: "Ashenborn" or something. They definitely give you plus one on your saving throws.
A missed opportunity for sure, it feels a bit late to name them now. My Atari 2600 and games, as well as most of NES games survived as well (with a few of the NES games slightly melted, system itself was toast) were the only other things that survived the fire. Once cleaned almost all the games worked.
