ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Matt Berger
Matt Berger, Californian designer and builder of everyday objects, is a lifelong hobby enthusiast and workshop adventurer. He makes his living helping companies design and build digital products, and makes a passion out of helping others design and build physical objects 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 Web site. 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, The Handmade Skateboard, and the DIY brand SK8Makers. With his second book, The Handmade Teardrop Trailer, Matt is still enjoying the great outdoors but expanding his DIY ambitions to a much bigger project.
