Well, I hit 30 years old and realized I’ve never really tried building anything for myself. Here’s my finished racing cockpit, built to use with an office chair. This is my first time using a miter saw, circular saw, half laps, pocket holes, etc.
My limitations were: it had to avoid a horizontal bar that my desk has in the back, I wanted inverted pedals, I wanted to use my office chair, it had to be short enough to slide under my desk for storage, and it had to be no more than 18” wide for storage purposes as well.
For never attempting anything like this before, I dub this one “far from good, but good from afar.” Don’t make fun of it too much. It’s got some quirks like the wonky cross support, whoops. But it was all a learning experience, and I’m excited to try it out.
