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.

The reason I have a cutting board in the first place is because it is expendable and, unlike, say, a table or countertop, it doesn't matter if a knife cuts into it and damages it. Like, it's literally the expendable surface between the knife and the thing I don't want to suffer wear and tear.
For sure. I think trying to preserve these tools is a bit of a waste of time. But extending their lifespan is always a win in my book
not oiling your woods and stainless kitchenware is abuse!
with that being said i would use food grade mineral oil, why are you suing coconut?
I think I'm out of the loop. Why would you oil stainless? It's not cast iron.
