Great project! Favorite bit was the warning to us husbands not to make noise inside or we would get additional unwanted noise 🤣🤣 that and the dog took your white pen! Guess dogs really do eat the homework sometimes.
Great DIY rig. One suggestion... Instead of drilling / screwing into the narrow edge of the MDF, get a strip of 1" x 1" and put in the joints of the pieces (top & sides), screwing through the flat surfaces of the MDF into what is now a wood gusset.
Indeed but you can get some very good fixings for MDF,most people use the wrong ones.It's uniform structure which makes it easy to work and finish also gives it better holding properties than most softwoods if fixed properly and a glued and maybe even dowelled joint would be better still,more durable and stronger,even more so gusseted.
Interesting, gave me some ideas. I think I would use a battened frame inside for additional strength. How the guy managed to keep all his fingers is a mystery. I'm not a DIYer myself but the guy didn't seem worried about his own safety.
This is really great! Thanks for posting. Despite your perfect, idiomatic English, three things make it clear your not from North America: MDF in different colours. (Nice) Dims in metric (Nicer) Sweet, new looking Defender in the drive (Nicest) Oh, and you’d definitely have already have a pickup to bring all that beautiful black MDF home without cutting it first...
@@elsupernelson9475 1.8 cm should be more then enough .... can go higher but your rig will be heavy....just make sure you add corner reinforcements....either metal or wood.
Great content! I was looking for a step by step video to make one for myself; and I am very pleased to have found your video. Very informative and made me laugh a few bits. Cheers from the States!
that speaks for itself i think.... the rig came out (with pedals/wheel etc) at about 30kg my weight is 72 so that just about works out great. However when i friend of mine took place in the seat i saw that the wheels had a hard time....my friend weighs 105 kg so..... like i said in the video just about right for me but not for everyone....
@@channelvr1293 sure, I didn't meant to be pedantic, I use casters a lot to be able to do woodworking at home and I use similarly spec casters, I can say they usually have quite a tolerance, at the expense of durability, but for this case I think you can abuse them and wouldn't matter if they deform a little bit.
@@cupcake474747 nope works perfectly the wheels are pretty cheap so they dont really work well you need to apply a bit of force to get them going , in this case that's a good thing ;-)
Excellent, well done! Did you add anything to the base (inside) to stop the pedals from sliding? I would have loved to see the rig in action! It looks like it has enough room to mount a monitor on it too.
yep good idea ...should make a final video of the finished product... and yep plenty of space for multi monitor setup have a look at my old setup that was made with the same measurements : ua-cam.com/video/MSsnioSpbek/v-deo.html
Nice man really descent build but just was wondering why you bought the more expensive black mdf wood then the cheaper white wood if you were just gunna paint it anyways? Truly just wondering.?...
Actually a very good question.... I have been drilling holes in my rig for adding holders for headphones and VR set. And I had to redrill some of them. And honestly you can't even see where I have made a hole. It's also good if you bump or hit your rig (and you will) then you don't see the damage so well 😉👌 but if you are on a tight budget go for the cheapest MDF you can find 👍
Channel VR oh OhKay but as far as the cheaper white wood is everything the same just the color is different or is the black one thicker or anything like that.??...
I imagine building one of these and busting my ass after 10min of gameplay 😂. Then laughing my ass off 😂. I am horrible at wood work. Can't even make a box.
You can do this...honestly its dead simple...... just count your fingers before you start.... and count them again when finished.....just to make sure.
Well the carseat was very affordable just about 90 euro. Like this one is 150€ but then you get the rails included so different size people can have a go : www.vikingchoice.nl/sportstoel-rood-met-rails-gestoffeerd.html
Awesome! 18mm is enough or doing with a bigger thickness is better? I mean, it will be better in your opinion or is totally unnecessary? I would like to record a similar video in portuguese. Let's help sim racers worldwide...
@@channelvr1293 Ok, fair enough. But you wanted to make a video about the cheapest simrig you could make, could have spent a few euro's less 😇 Another question, how tall are you, and do you think you have enough space in the rig? It seems a little low. I know you said you were limited to the one mdf plank, but seeing a full size normal color mdf sheet goes for 26 euros where i live, i might want to make it a bit higher.
@FuzzyFrogAmarantha I'm 1,76 but I got a friend that build one and he's 1.87 and fits perfectly. No need to buy wood ,old stuff or even a used door would to the trick. Btw the seat is on rails so length of legs is no problem.
@@channelvr1293 Thank you very much for the reply's. Will probably give this a try, as it is one of the cheapest options for building a rig, and looks good aswell.
