    10 minutes of work, kids entertaining themselves for days. That's a VERY enviable cost-profit ratio, mate!

    I know How to DAD is fun channel but he is really inspirational. If you think you don't have enough time to do something for your kids or if you think you can't do something, he comes out with videos like this where he slaps something together in 10 minutes. The seesaw wasn't meant to be perfect but the fact that Dad built it, made it fun for the kids. They will probably remember this for the rest of their lives. Just think, we all can do stuff like this with our kids too! Just be there and don't yourself too seriously!

      No need to have fun trying to make and design your own. We need a detailed plan with all the measurements. Or sell it as a building kit with all the pieces needed pls.

    I'm more of "how-to-uncle" than "how-to-dad", but I noticed (as a fellow designer of slip-shod play equipment) That you WAY OVER-ENGINEERED the swivel pin apparatus on your seesaw. That looks like a heavy-duty (and rather posh) tool being repurposed instead of using a proper cheapo piece of galvi pipe.
