Recycling creatively. A thread of some tools and skills to learn if you want to be creative with recycling things at home and maybe even make money from the process. (Just adding that a 3D printer can be a lifesaver) All these things I learned the core skills from YouTube videos.

1. Electronics recycling: Learn circuits and soldering. You can re-use parts from old electronics to create new ones or re-work them into something new entirely. The salt lamp inner light above was the result of reusing an old broken USB cable and connecting it to an LED to make it usb powered.

3: Metals: Now this one I haven't tried since I don't have a garden, but you can melt your scrap metal and pour it into molds with a metal foundry. There are tons of ways to make custom ones and once I can, I'm making one. (Too many Allen keys) You can buy graphite molds online for the metal.

4: Plastic Bottles: The internet has a ton of ways to re-use these if you don't have a decent recycling system in your country (thanks, England). Im privy to planters, being a plant dad. But my personal favourite is 3D Printer Filament. www.instructables.com/Turn-PET-Bot...
