Sir, great links! Some of those bottle ideas are neat. I like the idea of having a soap dispenser at workshop sink from a beer bottle. I'd have to use Fat Tire, my favorite bottled beer.
This, of course, is in my imaginary workshop with a sink. While we're renting in NC, my workshop is a corner of the living room. Need to find a nice house with property so I can do my thing in peace.
Wax, any old candles, candle stubs, wax in old jars where the wicks are buried. My MIL gets testy when I don't save my old candle wax for her. She melts the bits down into new candles. She also melts down old crayons into the wax to make colors, so I save crayons for her too. I recently found a huge bag of old crayon stubs in someone's trash. Also a container of colorful never-used pencil erasers, which I gave to a teacher.
There's a technique to get wax out of glass jars - freeze the jars. Use flathead screwdrivers to get the wax out. The freezing makes them uncling from the glass walls of the jars. Bag the wax, add more wax to the bag as you get some, and sell it.
