Toilet paper or toilet tissue as it's sometimes known is very useful for cleaning stuff and wiping away oil, glue, pastes and solvents. I tend to keep a roll in my workshop, but any attempt to get some off the roll single handedly usually results in the roll going into orbit, leaving a trail of paper behind it.
This is a neat solution that is effectively a miniature version of the centre feed blue-wipe dispensers found in garages and workshops. The main difference being that the smaller sheets are better suited to small electronic cleaning tasks, and it's easy to get refills from any supermarket.
When removing the core from the roll it usually comes undone spirally, but some are easier than others.
I suggest melting the hole in the container with a soldering iron because it leaves a very clean and rounded edge. But do ensure you clean the plastic off your iron and especially the tip as it may affect the soldering surface otherwise.

    Just watched this catching up on older vids. First thought, what about old CD-R OR DVD-R "cake" spindles?

    Lid could be screwed onto the underside of a shelf, thus keeping it even tidier! Nice one.

    Pound Land. It had never crossed my mind that such "dollar stores" would exist anywhere outside the US.
