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 used to use electric toothbrushes religiously. Then I had one appointment with a hygienist who specializes in brushing technique (seriously). She used a dye to show where plaque was being left behind on my teeth and gums and taught me correct brushing technique to remove it all.
Now I use a very soft manual brush that I replace regularly (brushes always get stiff over time due to calcium deposits on the bristles). I have no issues with plaque or tartar buildup and no cavities in years. One 4-pack of manual brushes costs about the same as a single replacement brush head from my old electrics.
