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.

Interesting. I suppose that your workflow might have weakened the plastic? Immersing it in hot water, then cooling it under the tap, then striking it against a hard surface for years… maybe that weakened the joint over time?
Anyway, I’m not at home to check how scratched it is from my spoon use, but I don’t really care if it is. It was a $30 tool, and if anything, the scratch marks an indicator of how much I use it.
