Looking for a super simple DIY wheel stand

[Benny44]

So, I’m finally going to get a wheel this spring. Our budget has been super-tight, but it looks like I’ll be able to squeeze out enough for a wheel soon. T-150, to be exact. I need a simple (cheap) wheel stand. I haven’t quite been able to find what I was looking for yet. I have a big and fairly deep leather chair that I’d need it to slide up to to use. It doesn’t have to be particularly pretty. Just something I can build (I have access to tools and a small wood shop). I don’t think the T-150 has permanent mounts on the wheel, so it’d be clamped on. I also don’t have any use for a tray beside the wheel. Any help would be appreciated

Do you want to make one yourself or buy one? It is not clear.

Yeah, just a DIY (do it yourself) wheel stand I can build. I’m thinking basically like a TV tray, but more solid. And something I can slide up to me while I’m sitting in my chair

If any spare change is left over, I highly recommend you get a hard mount adapter (Ricmotech) for your T150. Or you will constantly have to re-tighten the clamp. Cost me around $35 after shipping.

Thanks, and yeah - I’ll definitely get one. I heard about them. It may not be immediately after, but soon.

@Benny44 How about something like this?

You could probably simplify the design even further to suit your needs.

When I had my old Xbox I did this one. Sorry, I don't have the blueprints with the measures anymore, but I have the sizes of pieces:
MDF [cm]
1 pç - 60 x 55
2 pç - 60 x 15

wood 2x5 [cm] transversal section
4pç - 6
4pç - 9
2pç - 30
2pç - 45
2pç - 70

In the end, you can fold and put under the bed.

That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you! I know what I need now. I’m doing a job with my brother in law in a week and a half, and I’m heading down early the day before. He’s the one with a little woodshop, so I’ll show him these pics and I’m sure we’ll be able to put this together

Post some pics when you finish.

Now I have this one, that I used an old office chair. It has little wheels in front, to carry and it folds to save space. Not beautiful, but very confortable.
