Hello Roger,

Here is an idea that will make a portable see saw.

How to make a see saw

needed items:

4 8 foot 4 by 4
3 8 foot 2 by 10
2 8 foot 2 by 4
1 8 foot 1/2 by 4

1 9 foot 2 inch galvanized pipe
1 12 inch 2 1/4 inch galvanized pipe

4 2 1/4 galvanized u bolts
2 2 1/2 galvanized u bolts

1 pound 2 1/2 galvanized robert head screws

Take the 1 foot galvanized pipe and the 2 1/2 galvanized
u bolts and bolt the pipe in the middle of one of the 2 by 10's.

cut one of the 4 by 4's to the height of the see saw ( maybe 2 foot )

brace the 2 foot 4 by 4 in the middle of the other two 2 by 10 boards.

run one of the remaining 4 by 4 as a cross member between the upright 2 foot 4 
by 4

slide the 9 foot pipe through the 2 / 1/2 pipe mounted in the middle of the 2 
by 10

cut the 1/2 by 4 in half ( 2 4 foot sections )

lay the 1/2 by 4 on the 4 by 4 cross member 
make sure that the outside edge is flush

place the 9 foot pipe with the " see saw " in the middle of the cross member.

the 1/2 by 4 should keep the " see saw " up high enough to rock back and forth 
or up and down

mount the 9 foot pipe onto the cross member with the remaining u bolts

use one of the remaining 4 by 4 pieces as a brace in the middle of the cross 
member.

take your time
try to picture the event
have fun and be careful
