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.

Same. This stuff is excellent and I've used it for years on cutting boards and butcher blocks I've made. It's all natural, obviously food safe, super easy to apply with a paper towel or cloth, and the bottle lasts forever.
Mineral oil is a petroleum distillate, a byproduct of fossil fuel production. I'm not saying it's necessarily unsafe or unethical to use, but calling it "all natural" is a bit of a reach.
I see. Thanks, I didn't realize that.
You can (if you like) buy food grade beeswax and use a double boiler to melt the wax and oil together.
For fun more than anything else.
