Oh Deer! (PWJ228)

I made a deer from sheet metal with a plan from Etsy. The parts did fit perfectly but the assembly instructions were a bit minimalistic. That explains the frequent hammering and bending....
It took me about 2 months from February to end of March 2024 to build it. It's made from steel and it will rust after some time. This is intended because real deer are brown, not silver :-)

I'd be tempted to wrap it up like a piñata for kids' birthday parties, just to make sure they get some exercise first. 🤔

[@StubbyPhillips]

Diggin' the jams!

[@LawpickingLocksmith]

Cool! The next deer hunt will sound like: Ding, ding, ding.....

[@bertholtappels1081]

You should have made it from obsoleted rackable server enclosures 😁

[@noisytim]

Wow, that thing looks cool ! Well done !!

[@mumiemonstret]

Very nice little project, perfect for welding training too. The result is beautiful!

[@NUTTER8291]

That truly beautiful !

[@jimsvideos7201]

Who knew you're a competent welder too? 😀

[@PlaywithJunk]

Practice makes perfect.... 🙂

[@zaprodk]

Pretty cool - Good job on the welding and grinding :)

Beeindruckende Arbeit Chrigi Mein grösster Respekt

[@PlaywithJunk]

Danke! :-)

[@haralamc]

Bro made the deer from deer simulator.

[@f.k.b.16]

Playing with awesome!

[@Sven_Dongle]

Now mount some RC gear motors down near the hooves so it can zoom around and have fun with local hounds walking humans.

[@PlaywithJunk]

It would scare the shit out of them.... 🙂

@@PlaywithJunk The stuff of legends: the Iron Stag that comes in the night to steal souls.

[@PlaywithJunk]

@@Sven_Dongle Rumors say it was welded together by a lunatic computer nerd in full moon nights centuries ago in another universe...

[@ledhunters]

300 bucks for that, thats crazy... I would expected to be 1:1 size for that much money.

[@nor24o2010]

nice, why not polish it?

[@5argetech56]

I would love some steel venison! 🤣🤣

[@BenMitro]

Wow, nice work. Will you let it rust naturally?

[@PlaywithJunk]

Yes, that's the plan

[@QuantumDan]

It's the CyberDeer 😁

[@PlaywithJunk]

CyberTruck would be done with 4 pieces in half an hour... 🙂

[@QuantumDan]

🤣🤣 it probably is

[@PlaywithJunk]

@@QuantumDan And I could draw the parts myself.... 🤢🔲🔲⬛⬜◾

[@thomasholthausen335]

Cools Teil! Kompliment!! Wie lang häsch gha für alles zäme?

[@PlaywithJunk]

Naja, Bleche im Januar bestellt und bekommen und vor 2 Wochen fertig. Aber ich war ja nicht jeden Abend dran. Sagen wir mal 50 Stunden.

[@dieterjosef]

I don't want to destroy that Etsy business but I guess with AI you could make a deer picture into polygons, adjust the resolution level of the triangles and then have the plans also done by AI. At least I would like someone to try that.

[@PlaywithJunk]

Well, the assembly instructions looked like AI did make them... 🙂

[@christiankoller80]

wow super👍🏻 chöntsch doch no en chline DeLorean so mache.

[@PlaywithJunk]

Das wär no e Idee... isch sicher eifacher.

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

I bet that cost a few bucks 😂

[@PlaywithJunk]

$300 for the laser cut parts and 50 hours of work... and a welding machine, a protection helmet, gloves and gas.

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

@@PlaywithJunk Buck male deer 🙂 Are you going to drill a hole in each foot to allow any moisture to escape if it gets in. Great bit of welding, would you like to pop over and get a bit more practice on my LR Disco 2 chassis. I think there might be more than 50hrs 😞

[@WhoCares4uM8]

Oh dear it’s first comment 😂😂😂

[@DataDashy]

wtf

[@SeanBZA]

Neighborhood dogs will chase it, and have chipped teeth....

[@puciohenzap891]

Such a waste of materials...kids in Africa could've eaten that steel. Not nice! /jk
