Great video! It looks easy to build and very solid. I know what to do this or next weekend (nice soundtrack too).

Hi I really like your stand. I would love the specs

[CapnCwby1969]

Great stand! I think I saw this one on a GTPlanet Forum! I got thus wheel for Christmas and now I'm gonna get the wood for the stand tomorrow!

do you have the plans still im not much of some one who is good with drawing and numbers it would be a huge help i want to make one just dont have any plans to go by

[ibmguy]

@atvking04032

I don't have any plans, all the info I have was posted here.

Thanks for the video. Got mine completed over the weekend. All black with Cherry Red racing stripe on top and flames up the sides.

I use MDF for most of it (I had an extra sheet) and I think that made it too heavy on top because I couldn't get it to stay at one angle with the wheel clamped on. I ended up screwing the up-arms into the 2x6 blocks after I found an angle I liked. That worked.

@paprstsoapco

Good to hear you've completed yours. Do you have any pictures of your finished project?

[randlerains12]

Ok thanks Definitely one of the best stands I've seen

[randlerains12]

Do you have measurements for the stand would definitely have ago at making one

[ibmguy]

@randlerains12

I used 3/4" MDF cut to 18" square for the base. I used MDF as it would be heavy enough to support the rest of the parts and make it stable. Next I glued and screwed two 6" pieces of 2x6 on the front edges and a 2x2 longer piece on the front to hold the pedals from sliding out. The side upright arms are 1x4 cut to 27".

@ibmguy could you make the measurements into centimeters? I live in norway and i'm going to build this :D

[ibmguy]

@TheKiiwii1994

There are many online conversion web sites to help you with that.

1" is about 2.54cm and 1 foot is 30.48cm

[TheKiiwii1994]

@ibmguy ok thanks :D

[cowboycustomz]

What was the complete list of materials used if you don't mind me asking?

[ibmguy]

@cowboycustomz Just wood, glue, carriage bolts, knobs and spray paint.

[ibmguy]

I used standard 5/16" Carriage bolts with a 2" female bar knob. I bought the bolts at Home Depot and the knobs at Lee Valley.

[paprstsoapco]

@ibmguy How long are the carriage bolts you used?

[ibmguy]

@paprstsoapco I don't remember exactly but it will depend on the thickness of the wood you use.

Very resourceful awesome job here - my dad plans on making me something similar (I am not a handy man) but would like to know - What are the names of those adjustable screws you have on them? I could find them at my local hardware store right?

[lexcavaj]
