The Broadside Industries Octahedron WIY (Weld-It-Yourself) Kit is built for welders ready to take the next step in precision fabrication. With eight equilateral triangular faces converging at six perfectly aligned points, the octahedron demands accurate fit-up, disciplined tack sequencing, and careful heat management from the first weld to the last.
Unlike a simple box, the octahedron introduces compound geometry that challenges your ability to maintain symmetry while minimizing distortion. As the structure grows, every weld influences the next, rewarding patience and craftsmanship with a perfectly balanced finished piece.
Precision laser cut in the USA from premium 16 Gauge 304 Stainless Steel, each kit is engineered for exceptional fit-up while leaving the welding entirely in your hands. Whether you're developing your TIG skills or refining your fabrication techniques, the Octahedron is a rewarding project that builds real-world welding experience.

Anyone looking to improve fit-up, weld sequencing, and distortion control
The octahedron introduces a new level of geometric complexity while remaining approachable for welders with some TIG or MIG experience. Its triangular construction develops an understanding of symmetry, alignment, and weld sequencing while reinforcing the importance of consistent heat input and distortion control.
Fabricating with 304 stainless steel also teaches proper heat management, puddle control, and clean finishing techniques that directly translate to automotive, motorsports, food-grade, and architectural fabrication.
Every completed Octahedron is more than a practice project—it's a testament to patience, precision, and craftsmanship.
The Broadside Industries WIY Series isn't just about building Platonic Solids—it's about building the skills and confidence to tackle more demanding fabrication projects.
