Thank you for watching. I'm glad to inspire some thought in Vance. He's already demonstrated his interest in making things. Keep his mind stimulated and his hands busy and he's going to grow up to be as cool and creative as his dad!
Thanks for watching! It's nice to do simple projects like this every one on a while. It's a nice break from high accuracy and tricky operations. Simple and straightforward. And quick to make.
+Trevor Carter Thanks for watching, Trevor! The girl in the yellow dress in the thumbnail is who had been wanting one. Her mom found the plan online and asked if I'd make it for her. It was a fun project to make. And it's even more fun to ride on; I know from experience :)
+Tom Pritchard Nails felt like the right way to go with this project (except on the seats, which I screwed in place). They were cheaper than self tapping screws and faster than having to drill counter-bores, counter-sinks and pilot holes. Thank you for watching!
awsome steve!! thats a nice nail gun you got there..;) love the piano music after the heavy metal ..that was a nice touch ..haha anyways great build im sure the kids will love it .have a good one man!!
+Michael Trent Since I used glue as well, it didn't seem like any part of it needed screws except for the seats. I chose to screw the seats in place as an extra measure against nails maybe becoming proud one day and causing injury. I appreciate your watching.
+Kim Shirley Welcome aboard. If you're ever bored, check out some of my previous videos. There's a lot of fun and cool projects in there. And lots more to come. Thanks for watching!
+martin godsell Haha, yeah. Sometimes it best for us when the wives don't see what's possible. All kinds of ideas start churning in their heads :) Thanks for watching.
Hi Steve, I can't get over the point that you are a Grandparent! What did I do wrong to get these grey hairs and still no sign of Grandkiddies on their way yet! I love the see saw, it was well made and it seems very kiddy friendly! N.
+Neil “Slugger” George Well I am getting lots of gray hairs. But I'm only 42. The 4 grandkids are from our two step-daughters. Technically, they're my wife's step-daughters and my step-step-daughters. I've know them since they were little kids, possibly longer than my wife has. Long story. Thanks for watching.
Long story, Amen to that! I too have a stepdaughter and two biological sons and at 45 I cannot wait for Grandchildren. Curse their need for education (University and Apprenticeships) Only joking. Thanks for taking time to reply Steve, I enjoy your channel and am a subscriber of some time. I find quite alot of your humour quite British??? if that makes sense!!! Regards. N.
Excellent build and outdoor gift from a woodworking Grandpa! You "nailed it" that time. Has it gotten painted yet or just turned gray? What's next a treehouse? Thanks for sharing Steve.
+JWAM Haha, that's a real possibility. There's a lower setting, which is how I set it up at their house. What is shown here is just my test assembly. And the picture in the thumbnail is in my driveway on Christmas day. I wasn't sure which height setting it would need when I set it up that morning. As shown, is the perfect "man-sized" setting. Two of us adults had a little ride on it to "test it".
+Mike Davis (huntthefarm) Thank you! What's next? Well, I have a stand-up desk made of reclaimed materials that I'll start editing tonight. And I've several other things in the works as well.
+James Rawlings No, it was left as raw [pressure treated] lumber. I thought about painting it but just didn't have enough time. I had a whole list of projects going and crunch time was rapidly approaching. Thank you for watching :)
Great Project Steve! It's been a long time since I built anything with 2x lumber. Hey Steve do you have a shop separate from the house, it appears you have plenty of room to build?
+woodrat1952 Thank you, Sir! My shop is 1-1/2 bays of an attached 3-1/2 bay garage. Plus I use the middle bay for wood (and other stuff) storage. My wife's car gets most of the final bay. My shop, however, doesn't really have a lot of open floor space. 8-foot long projects like this push the limits of my build space.
Hello, Sand Smith, sorry for the delayed response (I just now saw your question). Personally, I'd shoot for somewhere in the $175 - $225 range. But really, I'm not sure how much they would actually sell for. I certainly wouldn't accept less than $150. I actually get quite a few inquiries from people wanting to buy them from me. But they've all been out of town and shipping something like this would be very costly due to both size and weight. When my new shop is built, I'll be making one or two to try selling locally though.
Steve, as usual a very entertaining video. I especially liked the precision angled fence you made for the crosscut sled. Great work, I am sure the see-saw will see plenty of use. Paul, a.k.a. paulsmessyworkshop on TH-cam
Sorry, I'm just now seeing this comment. It was in my "possible SPAM" folder. Sorry, I don't have plans with the modifications. The changes I made are visible in the video. I think the only things I really changed are that I added extra bracing in a few areas, such as at the base where the uprights attach. And possibly along the length of the arm, but it's been awhile so I can't recall. It seems like I added about 5 extra parts in total. But again, it's been awhile, so I apologize for not being very helpful. Thank you very much for watching. I really appreciate the support!
Just letting the diy’ers out there know it costs about $70 to make this seesaw according to 2021 Home Depot lumber and hardware prices 2021 is an expensive year for lumber!

Thank you, Russell.
Vance and I just watched this. Vance is getting ideas!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad to inspire some thought in Vance. He's already demonstrated his interest in making things. Keep his mind stimulated and his hands busy and he's going to grow up to be as cool and creative as his dad!
FYI, there's a link to the Anna White plan in the description. This would be an easy and satisfying project for him to try.

When I saw you swinging away it so caught my eye....looks like a great project for my grand kids mint....
It's a great project: easy, useful and very sturdy. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Well, that should be fun for a few years :) nicely done.
+woodturningjohn Thank you, Sir.
Granddaughters??? You are not old enough Steve! Great Project.
+Tim's Woodworking My wife and I have 4 grandkids now. 3 girls and one grandson. They're actually step-grandkids. Long story.
Good to see that nails are not obsolete yet :)
+Tom Pritchard Nails felt like the right way to go with this project (except on the seats, which I screwed in place). They were cheaper than self tapping screws and faster than having to drill counter-bores, counter-sinks and pilot holes. Thank you for watching!
Excellent...
Cheers...
+Adam Quincey Thanks for watching!
You did a wonderful job,,, I enjoyed watching your video at the same time.( sped up nailing was awesome ) Great job sir
Thank you. I appreciate the support!
I might just try making one for the grandkids.
+DanEngeWood- Dan It was a very simple project. There's a link to the plans in the description. Thank you for watching.
Great project Steve. I bet it will get years of use.
+Moy perez woodshop Thanks for being here, Moy!
thats pretty cool. i may have to build ome of these for my grandkids. love the project :)
+John Turner FYI, there's a link to the plan (on Anna White's website) in the video description. It's really easy to make.
Great job :D
Thank you.
awsome steve!! thats a nice nail gun you got there..;) love the piano music after the heavy metal ..that was a nice touch ..haha anyways great build im sure the kids will love it .have a good one man!!
+Joe basementwoodworking That is a strange progression of music, I'll admit. It seems to work for the video though. Thanks for watching, Joe!
+Steve French oh for sure! i think in some videos the music adds that touch it needs to keep me watching. .
Glad to see you swinging a hammer, I thought the days of woodworkers using hammers were long behind us.
+Michael Trent Since I used glue as well, it didn't seem like any part of it needed screws except for the seats. I chose to screw the seats in place as an extra measure against nails maybe becoming proud one day and causing injury. I appreciate your watching.
Michael Trent y t hu

Nice project Steve..! As they say I came to see and saw! Keep the videos coming. Just started following you and really enjoy your work!

So awesome! Dang would be fun to apprentice with you. Great skill, man
Thank you, Sir. I appreciate your watching!

+martin godsell Haha, yeah. Sometimes it best for us when the wives don't see what's possible. All kinds of ideas start churning in their heads :) Thanks for watching.

Excellent build and outdoor gift from a woodworking Grandpa! You "nailed it" that time. Has it gotten painted yet or just turned gray? What's next a treehouse? Thanks for sharing Steve.
+MRrwmac Thank you. It was left natural. It's pressure treated wood so at least it's got decent weather resistance.
Nice job, Mr. Man! From the last angle, it looked pretty high. I'll keep an eye out on news about any orbiting girls.
+JWAM Haha, that's a real possibility. There's a lower setting, which is how I set it up at their house. What is shown here is just my test assembly.

Muy bonito detalle
Thank you very much.
someone will be mowing around that for years to come!
Glad it's not me!
Nice! I enjoy your work. what's coming up next?
+Mike Davis (huntthefarm) Thank you! What's next? Well, I have a stand-up desk made of reclaimed materials that I'll start editing tonight. And I've several other things in the works as well.
Show muito lindo o seu trabalho
Thank you. I'm glad you like it!
Nice seesaw. Did you paint it before giving it to the girls?
+James Rawlings No, it was left as raw [pressure treated] lumber. I thought about painting it but just didn't have enough time. I had a whole list of projects going and crunch time was rapidly approaching. Thank you for watching :)
I enjoy your videos.
that's wonderful!!!>
Great Project Steve! It's been a long time since I built anything with 2x lumber. Hey Steve do you have a shop separate from the house, it appears you have plenty of room to build?

What size was the lumber use used for the Seat?
Hi Steve,
How much would you recommend selling the See-saw for?
Hello, Sand Smith, sorry for the delayed response (I just now saw your question). Personally, I'd shoot for somewhere in the $175 - $225 range. But really, I'm not sure how much they would actually sell for. I certainly wouldn't accept less than $150.

+pcorlis Thank you, Paul. You like the angle guide? Sometimes even the most random of scraps can serve a purpose. Thanks for your support.
Any way I can get the modified plans you are using? I am building two for our chruch kids. Thanks
Sorry, I'm just now seeing this comment. It was in my "possible SPAM" folder. Sorry, I don't have plans with the modifications. The changes I made are visible in the video. I think the only things I really changed are that I added extra bracing in a few areas, such as at the base where the uprights attach. And possibly along the length of the arm, but it's been awhile so I can't recall. It seems like I added about 5 extra parts in total. But again, it's been awhile, so I apologize for not being very helpful.
Thank you very much for watching. I really appreciate the support!
How in the world do you break two 8 foot long 2x6s into one 12 foot section, two 2 foot sections, and one 3 foot section???
One 12 inch (1 foot, I think I misspoke in the video), two 2 foot, and one 3 foot.
What are the dimensions of the parts?
Thank you for watching, Matt! See the link in the description to Anna White's plan.
Just letting the diy’ers out there know it costs about $70 to make this seesaw according to 2021 Home Depot lumber and hardware prices
2021 is an expensive year for lumber!
Grand kids? You're not old enough. Nice project though.
I'm 42. My wife and I have 4 (step) grandchildren.
Nice work
+Jemmy Sheng Thank you very much.
