Basics
- The local sharing of tools
- Can be as simple as letting a neighbor use a large ladder you have, or as complex as a central location with storage and inventory and in/out logs
- "Tool Library" may be a more marketable term for the centralized version
- App/website could then be called tool share (sounds similar to Skillshare etc)
OSE Work
Decentralized
- Find an existing OS tool and/or Rally people to make an app/website
Centralized
- Part of the OSEH concept
- Uses the above software and/or paper/computer logs to keep track of who's tools are used when and by who
- Works as follows:
- An area is dedicated as the "hub" (essentially any community center, community garden, or makerspace
- Ads/PSA's etc are sent out, and perhaps contacts to know makers/people with lots of "stuff"
- People who want "in" make an account with:
- Name
- Contact Info
- and Available "Stuff"
- could also do optional anonymous id if they are into that)
- People also do this if they are just checking out some equipment
- People who donate are given an engraved/miled tag etc on the device itself, and some sort of brick/plaqe decoration on some "wall of donors" type thing
- Then the system starts "working" essentially just like a library, but with tools and equipment instead of books; a few copies of each, loaned for free for a decent amount of time, late fees if hoarded
Internal Links
External Links
- The Wikipedia Page on Tool Libraries (similar/identical concept, depending on implementation)
- An Article on How to Start a Local One
