Stick and Throttle Stand


Recommended Posts

I had a few people ask me about my Warthog stand that I built, so I figured I would make a quick thread for anyone who might want to build one themselves. It should require a little bit of woodworking experience, but nothing too extreme. I didn't need any special tools, I used a miter box and table saw for all the cuts, but you could do it all (carefully!) with a portable circular saw. I also used a chisel, drill, knife, pencil, a nail, a pair of safety glasses, a couch for a quick break, and a can of soda part way though as a quick pick-me-up.

 

On to it now. I think it's pretty self-explanatory for the most part:

The stick had the original base removed and is attached to a piece of plywood. That piece is then attached to the next piece with two socket head screws into two T-uts so it's easy to take the stick off if needed.

The next two pieces are attached to each other with four bolts that have nuts on the top and bottom of the very bottom piece that can be adjusted up and down to change the height of the stick. The bottom plate is screwed to the 2x4 tripod base.

The throttle stand is built with three pieces of plywood to and a few 2x4 blocks to make a base.

It's attached to the tripod with two more socket head screws through a block on the tripod and one on the throttle stand into two T-nuts.

The Throttle base is built the same way as the stick base, with four bolts to adjust the height. It is attached to the throttle stand with one bolt that allows it to be rotated a bit depending on what you need.

The throttle stand and and stick can be removed and the tripod can be folded up for storage or transport:
