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
He highlights in his video that the bristles of those wire brushes cause emergency surgery when mistakenly ingested as brushing the grill with them has show that they break off. This is part of the "replace every year" and is something those cheaper brushes even sticker onto their handles.
He didn't claim they wear out in a year, the brushes themselves do. Please try watching both parts of the video. Even if you disagree, it's interesting and highlights a problem with losing knowledge in the tooling industry.
