teeter totter

How do you build them? Do you use some kind of spindle?

It's done different ways, but if you really want it to last you have to invest in something like a real teeter hinge. With the kind of wear and tear of heavy use it's the only thing that'll last. If you want something short term, just use wood and guess and check, but make sure it's solid or you'll get yourself hurt.

Can people post pics?

depending on width, I've always made a channel and made the stand to hold it tight together, and used a piece of reebar for my pivot. Just make sure the holes are tight also or you'll get a twist out of the teeter.I'll try to see if I can Find some pics.
