good Cart building book

Found it helpful for ideas for making carts. more info on measurements would have been nice. But not much choice out there for cart books, this was a used copy. I was lucky to find one.

Filled with easy, fun and satisfying projects.

I highly recommend this book as one of the few books "TAB Books, Inc." did right. Starts off with the history of horse drawn carts, push carts and bike carts with a chapter on carts used for service businesses and food vending. There is a chapter entitled: "Occupation: Cartright" Definitely, in the vein of the charmingly optimistic, energy conscious, do-it-yourself books of the 70's and 80's of a Mother Earth News variety. Most plans involve the use of electrical conduit pipe and simple materials. Most (or all) plans do not require the use of a welder. Plans included are: patio flower cart, wood-frame garden cart, bike wagon, vendor booth, steel frame garden cart, pushcart, dog sulky and wheelchair cart, etc... I built a garden cart combination/ bike trailer with a removeable hitch/handle. I was very pleased with the results.
