Deer Head Welding kit For Beginners Practice, 201 stainless steel Welding Coupons, Welding Training Metal Suitable For TIG, MIG, Gas, Arc, Stick, DIY Welding Practice Kit（15 pcs）

Looks good on the wall.

This is a great kit! Life size! It is not what I would call a beginner kit but it is great practice for welding thin gauge stainless. Everything can be bent by hand or with some pliers. The instructions are a little sparse but all the information is there. Take your time and read through and use some fine tip sharpie markers to number and color your edges and joints according to the print. Bending the parts past 90 often results in the tabs breaking but sometimes breaking a section off helps with fit up and the broken tabs will help you locate it back in place. Clean your parts!! Especially if you’re TIG welding. If you pay attention to fit up you can nearly fuse weld the whole thing. The material is THIN! .036” this is a test of skill and thin gauge welding. I think these are great kits and people love them!

This comes with very little instructions. The pieces aren't numbered and the identifying numbers that are on it aren't correct according to the diagram. No images or description of how the pieces are supposed to look once bent. Bending is a challenge because if you bend past 60° it breaks. The material is 1/16" thick so very thin and harder to weld. Getting pieces to line up correctly after bending is a struggle. I was expecting this to take a few hours to build and another couple hours to weld. I'm on the left antler and I'm about 8 hours in so far. It's a struggle but it's starting to shape out and once it's grinder down and polished I can maybe work out some of the misfits. I'd recommend to the seller to have one of your staff make an educational tutorial video on YouTube on how to properly build this. Also I'd recommend getting a new QC because the numbering and the misfit on bends shouldn't have happened.

Great kit to get back into welding with. Assembled easily. Looks great mounted on the wall. I added some brow tines to finish it off. Highly recommend.

As As you can see in the photos, there are no numbers on the parts, but each open part has its own numbers that you have to bend or fold them as instructed. And no matter how carefully and delicately you try to fold them, they break and separate.Even in the instruction paper, there is a QR code that you can scan, but it does not open any page and you cannot see a better instruction. However, if you want to create this shape entirely, good luck.

Heat up the spots you’re gonna bend with a propane torch! They will not break as easy!!!! Love these!

The stainless steel used for this project is non-magnetic, so most welding accessories for holding parts in place won't work. The tabs on all the parts are very prone to breaking, especially the ones that need to bend 90 degrees or more. You have to write the numbers on all the parts yourself, and as a beginner, a bit more help in knowing which type of weld is best would have been helpful.I burnt through quite a few welds and struggled to keep the parts in place. In the end I used metal ventilation tape (not saying "duct tape" since that'd be confusing) to hold some of the parts together while I tacked them together. My end result is ugly enough to not want to share, but it does have the shape expected.

This was a great project to try out. It does not fold into place. Very challenging to make.
