I've seen a few of these built, so I wanted to give them a try. Flew some sorties tonight and pretty happy with them so far. Really nice to have something which can be removed easily when I'm done.
3" Drill Press Vice
Steel brackets
Extreme Velcro
I found this extreme velcro on a whim and it's awesome. It adheres to anything and locks your stick/throttle down tight, yet can still be removed when you are done. I used it to attach my IR clip to the headphones, and it's great there also.
Boards are simply a cheap bamboo cutting board I got at Walmart and sawed in two. Add the bolts and screws and I'd say this whole thing was less than $50.
Maybe be aware the brackets are on the small side, so if you want something that will hang lower, you'll want to look at something different.
Edit: just wanted to say....you'll need to wipe down the vices when you get them. They are covered with a light oil to prevent rusting I'd guess. Take a rag and give them quick wipe all over (the jaws too, they will leave a mark on your desk!)
Back in time a popular mod for CH sticks was put rubber bands (for fix model aircraft wings), condom rings... over their springs, adding tension.

But don't exaggerate or gimbal parts - made for weak springs, may break or (plastic) pivots of gimbal wear and increase their natural play.
> I could use a desk or auto seat, but I would like to have the hole for the stick between the knee while keeping a system or sliders to get in easily
If you went with a car seat, you could just get a slider to go with it and avoid trying to build a decent seat yourself. Or, if you're already looking at building out of aluminum profile, you could add linear bearings and brakes.
Other than that, I'm probably not the best person to give advice. I do know, when I was looking at doing a desk out of 80/20 a while back, the local distributor offered design help. Might be worth checking in to?
I got like six magnets this size and they worked just fine for my x52 mod. This is the easiest mod you’ll ever do, so I honestly wouldn’t worry too much about the process. Amazon
I've used these in the past for a non joystick related project:
