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’ve had 2 of these for about a decade now, using daily, and they are still working great.
My current one has definitely held up better than the first one, so I'll give them that. And it was still functional, but the stirring paddle had snapped, so I figured I'd get another and put the old one in the camper.
You snapped the stirring paddle??
While that surprises me, I can’t speak to the durability of that part; I threw it away and use a regular spoon.
I was just tapping it on the side of the sink after rinsing it off and it came apart at the T joint. I thought about just using a spoon but figured the metal would scratch it up over time.
They also make wooden/Bamboo stirring paddles. Works out great and no chance of scratches.
