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
Darn tough are the only socks I buy. They’re around $25 USD per pair, but that’s incredibly cheap when you consider you’ll have these socks for the rest of your life. I bought 12 pairs a few years ago and now never have to worry about socks again.
If they last your whole life, then why buy so many? I would want to put the warranty to the test and wear the same pair every day. I suppose laundry cycles are the driver. Would be ideal if they would weave silver into them like that t-shirt that can be worn 7 times between washes.
