I made this scissor mechanism out of 3/4" 480psi PVC pipe. I also made the PVC air cylinder out 1" pipe for the cylinder and 3/4" for the ram. This took about 3 hours to make once I had all the pieces.
Its going to be used in a Clown-In-The-Box. It reaches a height of 5 feet and collapses down to 18 inches.

Looks like it going to work very well. You might want to add a spring at the bottom on the base to push the scissors apart so it will fold back up.
