@tournevie, the tool library. How many of you have discovered a passion for DIY since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis? But who says do-it-yourself means tools, have you invested in materials knowing that you will only use them two or three times? Or have you borrowed tools from your family, your friends...? In this episode we're going to talk about DIY but more about tools, or more precisely about tool rental and for that there's a great thing called @tournevie: an accessible and local tool library. What is it ? How does it work ? We discuss it with Yannick
