DIY Video Game Wheel Stand

A steering wheel accessory can make a video console racing game feel more realistic. Rather than having to hold the steering wheel, build a stand to hold it for you so you can concentrate on driving. The stand will be portable so you can put it away when you are not using it. Supplies from a hardware store and tools from around the home will be needed.
