@grayjon, you really need to start here...

And yes, absolutely, use old bottles, clean and sanitise them. This helps save the planet (Oops, too late for that!)
To use old bottles you will need a Crown capper and caps.
All of this including brewbelt are covered in the link above.

you'll need caps and a capper.
I recommend a counter top capper like this one: http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/counter-top-capper-coloured-suits-26mm-and-29mm-crown-caps-p-2488.html

the twin handle cappers are cheaper in the short-term but they'll break your heart in the end when they wear out and need replacing.

A brew belt is an electric heating band that goes around the fermenter.
