Does anyone know to make or where to find instructions for an old fashioned wooden "see saw" or "teeter totter"? I would like to make one for our kids to play in the back yard. I have searched the web and only find instructions for the swing sets. I know it's fairly simple but want to make sure I make it safely THANKS!! Missy

Teeter Totters are great fun and also can be very dangerous especially around unattended young children. When a child jumps on one end and they will, the unsuspecting child at the other end can get a board under the chin real quick.
I just wanted to add a word of caution.
