I'm not sure about a 'Tool Gym', I don't think we have those over here. But there
is a fablab (cabfablab) very near our hackerspace (basically around the corner).

We're pretty tight with them, and help eachother where possible. We have
slightly different focus anyway, that helps. They have donated quite a lot
of their stuff that they did not use (such as measuring equipment and other
electronics) to the hackerspace. It's all very young over here, so
we'll see how it matures. But cooperation and strengthening each others 
weaknesses has been the them in our cooperation.

Gr,

Koen
