- With the holidays fast approaching -- I'm still trying to put together, at least, one video per week. In today's video, we take a look at my wood sim rig I built over the summer. It was about $60/$70 for the lumber, and an additional $10/$15 for the nails and paint.

I built a similar rig out of wood. Mostly 6x6s and 1/2 ply. It stood up to my Logitech g29 pedals and wheel with no trouble whatsoever. I got loadcell pedals and managed to re-engineer it to put up with 60kg consistently after a couple iterations. I now upgraded to a 23nm direct drive wheelbase. Regular wood screws kept failing. Got some bigger wood lag screws and that worked for a while. Eventually they failed too. The screws work their way out, strip the wood or just break eventually. Morale of the story being wood rigs are great and would be my recommendation for anyone starting out sim racing with some minor diy skills. It’ll save you hundreds of dollars. However they don’t equal an aluminum profile rig if you want to run a high power direct drive and loadcell pedals. Side note; unlike almost anyone I actually use around 20nm most of the time. If you are like most people and only usually run 5-13nm, wood will be great and do the job forever.
Only a minute into the video and man, I gotta say, what an awesome job!
I always love seeing these custom rig builds, so interesting to see all of the different solutions that everyone comes up with.
Imagine what you could do with your next build! Happy racing brother.
By far the best wooden setup I’ve seen and likely will recreate a similar one ! Awesome
From a guy who can't hammer a nail without a trip to casualty, this is like voodoo magic to me! Extremely nice rig. Be proud Mr Baird!
Holy sh!t its so clean👌 for a sec i thought it was sim lab p1, i love it😍😍😍😍 by any chance we can get the blueprints for it? That would be awesome

I'm about to copy this. Thanks for making the video.
basic wood working knowledge, skills to work, yes to both, then build your own i recommend your build as a first rig set up!!!
Well done fella I love it as for the splits in the wood you live n learn well done
I thought you was using a proper sim rig in thumbnail but it’s actually the wood rid you made. Looks extremely nice. 👍
This is some impressive DIY! Great job.
Really clean, great job!!
i like the use of the 4x4 on the inside corners for support
Looks great man
VERY NICE RIG
Very nice! That rig is sturdy as can be, shouldn’t have any type of flex. A fellow Zach here 🤘🏻
Clean build👍I love the sim diy rigs people come up with. I think I have build 5 rigs over the years. But never this clean.
Really solid.. i was thinking about making one myself for a long time. But i will tray to make it foldable to store it since i will be using my living room tv. Casual play only, not so hardcore competitive
Really nicely done!!
Nicely done. I built one years ago, the problem was, over time, my fat butt made it all creak and groan. Got pretty noisy after a while so I just disassembled it and bought metal rigs.
Sooo clean!
Really nice job!!
Thanks you
This is fantastic i would have killed for this a few months ago before I got my own rig 😍😍👍
I think the rig is good, great value for money and assuming it's as solid as it looks, nice one. Pedals, I'd be tempted to look for the original Clubsport pedals, they're a bombproof design and it's simple to replace and cheap to replace the load cell if it's ever necessary. Probably wouldn't cost anything given you could easily sell yours. I like TM wheelbases, i had the TS-PC/F488 wheel and a set of T3PA with a load cell mod and later another set with a prototype load cell (only 40kgs but very precise, give my weight hovers around 50kgs a 40kgs load cell was plenty) like your secondary screens, and display. It's a great rig buddy. I'm severely space restricted at present but should be getting the spare room for my gaming room soon. I'd love to build my own rig but I'm not sure my health is up to it. Have you considered going direct drive? Your rig looks like it could cope with 10Nm possibly with an extra brace here and there.
HEY! IM YOUR 200TH SUB🎉🎉
LETS GOOOOOO
Cool set up!
😍😍😍😍 Nice sim rig !
Thank you!
i really wish someone would make a plan with woods to make something like this. I am pretty amauter at building htis from scratch but def would do a project like this to save money and also be proud that i made it myself.
I know its from forever ago, but any schematics as far as size of lumbar and amount of each needed? Ball park maybe? I love the way this one looks all completed. Good work
cool rig, do you sit comfortable in it, is there a way you have a video on how to build it, cuz i thinking about building one and i really like this one :)
Wow 🤩😍😊❤
Nice cockpit!
My setup costed 70 bucks it's all wood and real car seat just like your setup
Also nice setup
That’s a pretty awesome job you did there! I built one 1.5 yrs ago, but I use an office chair with it, I’m going to finish it with a good stable seat, also have been looking at the NRG seats. Do you still race? Thanks for sharing. W
Hey Walt - No, I've stepped back for now, but plan on jumping back in at some point down the road
your mustache is intimidating, thank you.
How did you setup your heads-up displays? Any chance you can do a set up video on how to configure those, please?
Even doh this video is older now, i have a diy alu rig for about 300€. I know it is much more, but i thought, better do it once right and have peace of mind then tinker with it all the time. But this is really a nice looking rig i have to say.
Awesome job man, you dont perhaps have the dimensions of the rig itself?
Please please please tell me you got plans for this. I would like to buy it please thank you ❤❤ this is great
The seat is the only bit I’d say is not under $70. To be fair if you’ve got the skills to do this then just purchasing a few lengths of aluminium extrusion and some connectors could also be done fairly cheaply always surprises me the markup some company’s charge for a few bits of that stuff the seat itself is usually the expensive part if you can get hold of a seat and the runners for it from a scrap car the rest is fairly easy to put together.
Nice job wish I had tried that rather than a cheapish seat that flexed.
Can I ask what model and price is the monitor your using, very nice!
Hello. This is very nicely done. I'm looking to build another wooden rig and I like this design.
My one question is about the uprights for the wheel deck. Did you not stabilise it in anyway to help with side-to-side flex?
Sorry if I missed out something.
Hey Joey, to try to answer your question, not really. The two 2x4s on each side do very well on their own with no flex or bend. I've got two 4" wood screws in the base of each 2x4. I hope that helps!
@@zicburd Thank you. Fast reply and informative 👍
you should get a usb c hub or something so you can plug everything in with a single cable except the hdmi ofcourse
My heart would stop if i got a sim rig like in a thumbnail for 100$ 😅
It's very nice, I just wish that I were as handy. It'll probably cost me twice as much if I tried it because I'll make mistakes, lol.
I want the blueprint now
Could you please tell me the height, depth and widt please im gonna try and copy this build coming week.
How did you put the sliders in for the chair?
How much flex did you find in the wheel deck + pedal plate? Thanks
Nice, but the 2x10s seems like overkill.
Very nice .can we have a tutorial and blue prints if you don't mind
this is sick dude
Excuse me bro, how tall are the arches of the screen and the steering wheel, sorry for my bad English haha
Any chance you have the measurements for this?
What’s the length/width? Going to recreate this but need to know where to start
Can I get the blueprints to this? I need a project to do for the next 7 days
Any advice on building one of these and making it STRONG? Particularly things like how is best to create joints, right angles, joining pieces together, etc. Cheers!
Hey Deao! The standard 2x4s seem to hold very well. I used 4x4s in each corner to give it extra durability. Hope that helps!
Thanks! Do you ever feel that the rig needs triangular supports on the wheel deck columns?
Ooh also, do you think stacking two 2x4s to make the base and wheel columns is essential? And how did you join them together?
I have a similar set up and I have my wheel deck on a triangle support. Rock solid. Also, I pulled a car seat from a Mazda rx8
If you just use screws, also spend a couple of bucks and use wood glue with the screws, it will add a ton of strength to the connection.
I would like to raise my seat height with a wooden platform under my entire rig. Im sitting so low on the floor its hard to get up and sit down on
buy a wooden pallet to put it on. or buy aluminum sim risers add 1.5in
Is it 4K lumber?
Looks sick , still going 2 years later ?
Thank you! When I moved last year, I ended up having to break it down. At that time, it was still holding very strong. Sometime down the road, I'll probably build another and be sure to make a how-to video for it
@zicburd with Forza Motorsport 8 just out these type of videos are great
Why you use a -100€ rig with a 400€ Seat?
Hey man great video! Looking for inspiration to build my own and this is great stuff! Maybe something to consider in the future, no idea whether this is due to your mic or because you don't want to wake the neighbours or something but it feels like you're scared to speak up, don't know if you get what I mean? :p In any way have confidence in yourself, speak up, what you have to say is interesting and is worth saying in engaging way! keep it up!
The first part is because I'm too far away from the phone lol. The second part is some kind of condenser that is applied. Either way, I can definitely fix in post!
@@zicburd Aight wasn't sure where the problem came from, glad it's an easy fix!
Do you have a build list?
Very nice monitor model and price?
Thanks! It’s an ASUS Rog XG49VQ. I’ve had it a few years now, but I think it was around $7ish? Sorry, can’t quite remember.
Che tipo di vernice hai usato?
Ho usato solo vernice per legno semilucida standard. Due strati.
Wat are the dimensions of the base of the rig
5.5’ x 30”
bist du italiener?
hi im very interessed into building a rack do you tink you could send me the dimention (length, wide)
Hey Scrawz, unfortunately I’ve lost the schematics to the build. If I run across them, I’ll post them. Thank you!
@@zicburd but if you still have it just measure the length and the width?(i will build my rig next week but I juste need the total length and width)
Es de madera o metal 🤔
Madera
@@zicburd si sos ser tan amable deberías aser un review de como crear uno así la verdad tengo todo el día buscando y este es el único que se me ase mejor
The cost of the frame means nothing. When you build a NRG seat, 49" curved monitor, wheel/pedal combo, speakers, PC, tablet, and speakers for under $100 I'll be impressed.
then feel free to drop 500+ on any semi-decent sim rig online
@@b0neheads GT Omega for $200 is fine with me. And the sim frame looks great, no need to get offended.
Under 100$ incl. nothing.... ;-)
