Portable Teeter Totter
 ✖  |
After building a swing set for my grand children, they asked for a teeter totter. Not wanting a couple of mud holes to develop under a teeter totter in my yard, I decided to build a portable one," says Richard Heimberger, Lucas, Ohio.
After acquiring a set of 4-ft. high steel wheels off an old hay tedder, he built a teeter totter that his grand children can move around anywhere they want to play. He used a length of steel pipe for the axle. The kids sit on a 2 by 10 wooden board with a metal frame on the bottom side to stiffen it up. He also scalloped out both ends of the board to make it more comfortable for the rider's legs. Finally, he painted the seat purple, the wheels red, and the handles yellow.
