See-Saw Development: Cabinet Handles

 

Using door handles as see-saw handles

 

The verdict: the more antique-looking the handle, the greater the interior-ising quality.

Cabinet handles rather than door handles would work best for what we are trying to achieve.

 

Had a look at Soper's cabinet handles- bail handles perhaps have too much movement for us to use on the see-saw, unless they were somehow made rigid (this is unfortunate as they have a real antique quality to them which would be great).

 

A handle of a rigid shape would be best- we need to try out the handles for size before buying as it is important a hand can hold on easily.

 

Another possibility could be using interior objects as the handles- such as bent spoons- recognisable domestic objects.
