There are several trailer discussions here. Just get yourself a kids 16" bike for the tires and you are pretty much set. You have to support both sides of the wheels is about the only trick to it. I have used pvc pipe, someone used a lawn chair, and yesterday I saw a walker at the thrift store that would be good for a trailer frame. The curved tongue is about all there is to one.

It's a lot like and outrigger canoe.

i built this trailer, DIY bicycle trailer - Instructables - DIY, How To, ride, tech - Entry but use 3/4 or 1 inch conduit, instead of pvc. i have hauled 100 lbs with it, no problem.also several others on this site. lots of bike info. great site for anyone.
