Additional notes: I know for a sim racing rig there are a lot of choices out there. And some of them that are built using PVC pipes are as good as arcade seats. But they also take up a lot of room. I choose to take a minimalist approach because I want to be able to use it on both the PS3 and PC. For the PC I already have my set up and having a full cage with racing seat doesn't really work well with it. With this, the base board can just go under the PC desk, adjust the height and I'd be good to go. The only thing that will take up room is the top with the wheel and stick. I've seen some people's PC setup and I think this will work well for them as well.
+Marcus Hui Ok, but the lateral force caused for the G27 force feedback is too much for those tables. You surely had to strengthen this structure. I´ m having problem with my wooden PC desk for the same reason, too much lateral movement.
+de5letras I don't see to have problems with movement. The whole thing is heavy enough to secure it in place when you play. However I did added an extra piece of diagonal wood connecting the legs and the base board piece after this video was made.
Thank you for not only telling us the dimensions in the video, but listing them in the description. There are so many videos that say, "I built a great stand", but do not give you any dimensions. Thanks again!!!
I recently came across this vid in search of ideas and liked your design...just built one for my son! The best part was already having the wood leftover from a previous project. Thanks for putting this out there.
Hi Marcus, congrats on the great video; I spent a lot of time trying to find a creative idea, but yours is a clear winner for me. The best part is the “adjustable” height, stability and made of solid wood. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am only hoping that mine will become as good as yours. Cheers, from Ontario, Canada!!! Best regards, Milan.
This looks perfect, I am going downstairs to make one right now with my spare wood. I was going to mount a 4X4 post up the middle with my pedals to the right, but couldn't figure out how to make it height adjustable, guess I could use two 2X4's with holes like you did, but I think the double sided idea will be more sturdy anyways. Thanks for the video.
im waiting for my g29 to come in to actually be able to play dirt rally without frustratingly crashing on every turn due to inability to properly downshift, e-brake, and turn with a regular controller and this IS THE BEST build video i found to build a sturdy adjustable rig. im about to build mine tomorw and will try to add a wheel tilt feature to make it even more adjustable. planning to stain mine and get some flower... i mean subaru stickers too! i really appreciate the idea and video!
Thanks for sharing this. After watching your video I built my own based on your design. It's very sturdy and stable and playing Assetto Corsa is a lot more fun now.
I'm a noob...how did you properly align all those holes? I measured, but when drilling things always seem to shift a bit... and then at the end most of the holes don't line up properly.
I like this stand. Simple, but seems strong and stable. The only thing I'd change is the height adjustment system. Instead of drilling many holes, I'd go for a long vertical line so you wouldn't have to remove the screws completely.
Excellent idea, I was about to build something much bigger for my Flight Sim Rig but your design is very compact and easy to store when not using it. Thanks for the idea Marcus.
Marcus, thanks so much. I am looking at building my own. Your build is the most solid build. It's also very simple and easy to do. I'll be building mine this weekend based on your build. Thanks for sharing!!
How much more unstable would it be if you put the steering wheel part on the outer side instead of the inside. I'm thinking about doing that so it can fold up completely
Dear, excellent video, I have the same steering wheel and thanks to you I can save space I only have one question, do you know the diameter of the bolt that uses the steering wheel to anchor it and make it firmer to the base? since mine were lost.
Super cool and seems way more sturdy than those overpriced stands they sell! Definitely going to consider making one of these but I'm a total noob at this whole construction thing so hopefully it turns out good.
I recommend to actually place the pedals much more forward, maybe even independently. And attach an extra arm with the same adjustable height option on the side. Then in my POV its the closest to an race seat like feeling :)
how much was it, roughly? looks like a solid diy wheel stand. i will be doing something quite similar when i get my g29 or t300 in a few months for AC and f1.
Thank you alot. I like this wheel stand the most of what ive seen since now on YT. I will make some changes to fit it well to my desk but overall its a solid nice looking wheel stand. Thanks. btw sry for my english im austrian but i hope you get what i mean.^^
Not to bad but far from "The Best time Homemade Stand". One thing I'd change is the way you have the height adjustment, instead of all the holes and having to remove 4 nuts,bolts & washers had you made a SLOTS in base & top side rails then used fender washers with bolts and wingnuts 2 on each side. That way all you need to do is loosen the wingnuts slightly and raise or lower the top without having to remove all those nuts and bolts.
I know I'm Abit late lol, but just wanted to say while that will work for a while, it would more than likely start to slide down at some point, causing you to retighten it. If you do it his way, chances are you set it and forget it since it's possible that you're the only one using it. Once again, I know I'm late haha, but I figured I'd give my 2 cents haha.
Just to let you know, I made one support for my g29 using your project. The result was good. Could be better if I have more talent to work with wood and saw. Thanks for share.
Nice... thinking of building this myself.. I'd only want an other way to hide the cables. But you just received a new sub so that makes both of us happy i suppose.
+Theferrariguy5 Retractable as in if I can fold it? No, unfortunately not. It's kinda difficult to make a retractable stand using 2x4. Might be possible if you use thinner woods though.
Great video, Marcus! I'll have to try this myself down the road when I eventually get a steering wheel of my own. I checked your channel but I couldn't find a review of this specific wheel. Was wondering if you could give me some input. How well does it perform? Cheers! :-)
+VEX Blackout Thanks for watching. I have another video where I used the G27 on the GT6 for PS3. It's a very nice wheel. The paddle shifter was excellent and responsive. The stick shifter actually had 6 speed. Also the leather wrap wheel is very nice. I've also tried the Logitech Driving Force GT and I like this one better. Compare to the G27 the Driving Force GT's paddle shifter was just 2 buttons behind the steering wheel. It's hard to press doing play and the joy stick only have up and down shift. The only problem I had with the G27 is the 3 foot paddles are really close together. If they are wider then it'd be perfect.
Awesome! How is the feedback? It appears to be a wired wheel but I could be wrong. How responsive is it? I had an old wireless wheel for my Xbox 360 and that thing was a pain to use. I'd imagine the G27 is wired, however. :)
Yes it is wired. It has a USB connector and a power supply that goes to the wall outlet. The feed back is ok but the Force GT is stronger in my opinion.
+Mike Rice I used a pencil to trace the outline of the peddle on the board first. then I measure the length of the bolt from the 4 side of the peddle. Using the same measure I put an X on where the bolt is suppose to go before I start drilling. But be careful because the bold is kinda off set to one side. So you have to know which side is which.I accidentally drill the wrong holes because I mirror imaged the bolt holes. Let me know if that doesn't make sense...
+Luca Virgona The top piece is 2ft x 6in x 1in and I double stack it. The side piece is basically left over of the top piece, the dimension is 1in x 6in x 7in.

Max Donnelly well shit! do u want a medal? the only thing you can build is negative karma. make a positive change NOW or suffer in a hell of your own creation!
Saw the video you posted of your rig and I don't understand at all the reason you talked that much shit. He built a racing STAND not a racing RIG like you did. If you had spent more time reading into the reason he made his as he did instead of trying to have a dick measuring contest you would have realized that he built this stand to go under a computer desk and not to fill up a closet like yours. Next time maybe you should buy foreign because clearly the "immigrant" knows how build better than you. 🙄 moron

can you play it with vr
Marcus Hui I subbed
yes you can play know you can atleast play some games
with vr

I just found this video, I have been subscribed to you for years for the Miata content. Good work
That is so fine, thanks for publishing.

Thanks for sharing this. After watching your video I built my own based on your design. It's very sturdy and stable and playing Assetto Corsa is a lot more fun now.
By far the best and most elegant design, trying to make it foldable based on this design.
Just got the material to build this. Love how it is adjustable so my daughter can play also! Thank you for video
If you have the G920, the top board will be too thick to mount. 30cm or less for top board
I'm a noob...how did you properly align all those holes? I measured, but when drilling things always seem to shift a bit... and then at the end most of the holes don't line up properly.
I like this stand. Simple, but seems strong and stable.
The only thing I'd change is the height adjustment system.
Instead of drilling many holes, I'd go for a long vertical line so you wouldn't have to remove the screws completely.
I would use quick release pins

Thanks for making this vid and giving great details!
I specifically came for ideas. I like your set up.
I never got a gear changer with mine nor I have never seen one.
You seem to be very proud of it good work
Great job bud im gunna make one myself
Great inspiration
How much more unstable would it be if you put the steering wheel part on the outer side instead of the inside. I'm thinking about doing that so it can fold up completely
Not bad mate. Good job. Greetings from mother Russia 🇷🇺

M6
7 years later thanks for this
Thank so much been looking all over for something like this. The stands are really expensive, so thanks!
Thanks my friend for putting this video on yuotube you are the best, i just make my own set-up, thanks again
Super cool and seems way more sturdy than those overpriced stands they sell! Definitely going to consider making one of these but I'm a total noob at this whole construction thing so hopefully it turns out good.
Do you need an adopter to use Logi tech for ps4?
I recommend to actually place the pedals much more forward, maybe even independently. And attach an extra arm with the same adjustable height option on the side. Then in my POV its the closest to an race seat like feeling :)
Show us what that would look like maybe?
Dani M I
The picture for the diagonal support is no longer working.
I like it I might try this one! I built the death mobile in the past with a dodge neon seat but I like this it's small, simple and solid!
How much for the game
Great project buddy! Thanks for sharing your idea!
This is really nice. I may try constructing one soon
how much was it, roughly? looks like a solid diy wheel stand. i will be doing something quite similar when i get my g29 or t300 in a few months for AC and f1.
It's roughly about $50 for all the wood, nuts and bolts. I was going to see if I can build a good unit for cheap.
sweet, that isnt much at all. looks pretty sturdy and beats the hell out of paying 170~ for some crumby looing steel one.
Yep. Have fun!
Thank you alot. I like this wheel stand the most of what ive seen since now on YT.
I will make some changes to fit it well to my desk but overall its a solid nice looking wheel stand. Thanks.
btw sry for my english im austrian but i hope you get what i mean.^^
+FaDiSi Thanks for watching. And thanks for your kind words!
would you happen to have any ideas for a steering wheel for xbox 360
I built this for me only complaint I have is the stability I used L brackets for the bottom

M6 14mm or 40mm??
Can you write the dimensions of the wood pieces in the description? Thanks
+jeffrey l Good idea. Done.
Think you could do this for a g29?
Looks simple enough. Thanks for the video.
Very informative video, thanks for posting!
What kind of chair do you use for this set up?
pretty good idea
Just to let you know, I made one support for my g29 using your project. The result was good. Could be better if I have more talent to work with wood and saw. Thanks for share.
thanks for the video. it has been a great help and i have actually decided to make one to.
Good video, Good ideas. Thanks!
Can you drill holes anywhere in the pedal?
+Blake Powell Why would you do that??
That's neat!
Nice... thinking of building this myself.. I'd only want an other way to hide the cables.
But you just received a new sub so that makes both of us happy i suppose.
love it mate :)
yes, simple and efficient!
Is this retractable?
+Theferrariguy5 Retractable as in if I can fold it? No, unfortunately not. It's kinda difficult to make a retractable stand using 2x4. Might be possible if you use thinner woods though.

How did u matchup the holds to mount the peddles wit the bolts?
+Mike Rice I used a pencil to trace the outline of the peddle on the board first. then I measure the length of the bolt from the 4 side of the peddle. Using the same measure I put an X on where the bolt is suppose to go before I start drilling.
But be careful because the bold is kinda off set to one side. So you have to know which side is which.I accidentally drill the wrong holes because I mirror imaged the bolt holes.
Let me know if that doesn't make sense...
What are the dimensions for the sides and top face
+Luca Virgona The top piece is 2ft x 6in x 1in and I double stack it. The side piece is basically left over of the top piece, the dimension is 1in x 6in x 7in.
I just came across your video today and I built it. Thanks for the idea. :)
good build
youre the man thank you for the tutorial
I love it !!
NICE !!
Very nice
Thanks this is really helpful😃😃
well its actually a really smart idea but for me, convenience and look’s matter way more than price (to an extent, of coursej
gameplay vid is unavailable :(
th-cam.com/video/KS9Q_vYxMfg/w-d-xo.html
@@bigbigdog thanks buddy!
The best home made wheeling setup and cheap
small size ..simple...great
thank you very much for this video
Thanks. Going to make the stand collapsible.
Does anyone know if this piece is used to adapt an omp racing wheel or i need more stuffs? www.amazon.es/dp/B08L1D2977?ref=myi_title_dp
Is that a 1300$ steering wheel mounted on 6$ worth of wood and bolts?
love the vid only problem is i am NOT that great at building thins XD!
I thinknim taking your build appoach
In metric if possible
+Luca Virgona The top piece is 2ft x 6in x 1in and I double stack it. The side piece is basically left over of the top piece, the dimension is 1in x 6in x 7in.
I don't have metric units on hand but you can try the Google converter

nice
Do you know how big the world is, whats up?
felicidades
I'm sorry, but "The best" gaming wheel stand??
+Pontus Häggström Yes. "The Best of the Best". LOL
;)
Pontus Häggström svensk här med
Grape gööött
Pontus Häggström por lo menos lo hace el mismo
Is is not how to make it. This is a review
masa
It works for him but it's not the best in the world.
too bulky tho
You don't want it to fall apart, do you?
so when yougoing to make The Best Homemade Logitech G27 Gaming Wheel Stand In The World"?
that can't be it
Your title sounds a bit pretentious
Just a bit? :(
:)
M8, I could build something way better than that
Max Donnelly well shit! do u want a medal? the only thing you can build is negative karma. make a positive change NOW or suffer in a hell of your own creation!
I'm building out of an old ASA NASCAR
shut up maxi pad.
Your chair sucks, whats up?
that looks like shit compared to the one i made
LOL These? th-cam.com/video/wlsRa-Jhjfo/w-d-xo.html
Marcus Hui when a noob gets salty so he gos back to videos made 4 years ago 😂😂 learn to build stuff Immigrant
So are u gonna show me or are u just all talk?
LOL I thought so.
Saw the video you posted of your rig and I don't understand at all the reason you talked that much shit. He built a racing STAND not a racing RIG like you did.
