L-Tek Homemade Handlebar

So my son bought an L-Tek pad but no handlebar, so I did some research and borrowed from another design and created the platform and handlebar for the L-Tek.

I know many people are buying L-Tek pads so I want to share my design.

I borrowed a lot of design ideas from dave eddy.. Thanks Dave

Here is pic of the finish product minus paint.

Here are the design elements.

Frame Made of 2x4's

1 x 2 strips to hold l-tek in place
1 x 12 x 35.5 x 1/2 (cut from 4x8 plywood)

1 1/2 inch screws to hold it together
Elmers glue to bind each board together

I bought the pipe from Lowes. I bought one long 10' piece and had them cut it into 3 pieces with threads to create the handlebar, which saved me some money.

Directions

Assemble the handlebar. Make sure to tighten everything as tight as you can and make sure to be careful with the threads. They can slice you up.
Build the main plywood frame by cutting a piece 46.5 x 35.5 x 1/2 from the 4x8 plywood sheet
Cut the 1 x 2 pieces as follows : Cut the pieces on either side to fit in between the brackets on the end (see diagrams)
Cut the front piece in one long and one short section to create a gap for the USB port
Create a piece from the plywood 1/2 x 12 x 35.5 for the back
Secure it all together with the 1 1/2 screws
Drill holes about the same size and Use long Carriage bolts to secure the handlebar.
Note : Position the bar so it is comfortable for the player. In my case it was about 5 inches from the back. Now cut the 2 x 4 to these dimensions 8 x (2.x.4x13) 3 x (2 x 4 x 46.5) . Note 2x4 are actually 1.5x3.5) I would measure when against the frame you have already built to get exact measurements)
NOTE : use Elmers glue to secure each piece together
