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 have some "stainless steel" kitchen shears that are not only all-metal, but also have the two halves come apart for cleaning. Unfortunately, the nut on the piece that forms the hinge axle is a different alloy than the rest that's less stainless, so that was a bit of a letdown. If it were welded on instead, it would've been perfect.
Perhaps you can replace the nut?
Yeah, I probably should. It's not that bad and I've got a looooot of stuff ahead of it on my to-do list, though.
