Carapate brings a fresh shape and plenty of fresh air to the teardrop trailer

We’ve seen a number of angular teardrop styles, from the fairly common squaredrop to the much rarer faceted polygon. French startup Carapate Adventure tries something different with its eponymous mini-caravan — a rolling wooden trapezoi… Continue reading Carapate brings a fresh shape and plenty of fresh air to the teardrop trailer

Massive Canada Goose tiny house is worth a gander

Canadian firm Mint Tiny House Company recently completed a new model that shares its name with the large Canada Goose bird.

Scooter Hauls Kids With A Little Heavy Metal

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Similarly, where there’s a paying customer and a well stocked metalworking shop, there will also be a way. That’s about all the backstory you need to understand this latest creation from [Richard Day] of 42Fab.
