Synopsis
The American road trip is a tradition celebrated by families, friends, and individuals for as long as there have been roads to travel. Matt Berger's book The Handmade Teardrop Trailer: Design and Build a Tiny Camper from Scratch hands you the keys to craft your own great roadtrip adventure.
The Handmade Teardrop Trailer guides readers step-by-step through the journey, from sketchbook to first road trip. It will prepare you to design and build your own pull-behind tiny trailer (or at least consult with someone who can). And you don't need too much space, just a garage or shared workspace, with basic tools and materials available at your nearest hardware store, or specialty online retailer.
Because we all have our own road-trip fantasies when it comes to comfort, style, and purpose, The Handmade Teardrop Trailer will train you up like a pro on the basics of teardrop trailer design, backed up by deep research, sketching, and hands-on experimentation. Hand-drawn illustrations provide measurements and construction details that are easy to adapt for variations in size and configuration.
More than 150 step-by-step photographs illuminate every detail in the design and build process and inspire you to get started on your own build. Plus, interviews with teardrop trailer builders of all shape and size from around North America help you make the right decisions (and avoid the wrong ones) before you build.

About the Author
Matt Berger is a designer and builder of everyday objects, and the author of The Handmade Skateboard (Spring House Press, 2014). A lifelong hobby enthusiast and workshop adventurer, Matt makes a living creating digital products, and makes a passion out of building physical products in his garage workshop and local maker spaces. Matt earned his stripes in the woodshop as an editor at Fine Woodworking magazine, where he launched FineWoodworking.com, and produced and starred in how-to videos for the website. Matt applied all the skills learned and practiced at the Fine Woodworking shop to create a series of workshops teaching students of all ages how to build a handmade skateboard. That turned into his first book and the DIY brand SK8Makers. With his second book, The Handmade Teardrop Trailer, Matt is expanding his DIY ambitions to a much bigger project: a Tiny Teardrop Trailer.
