Q & A on this week's episode HERE!➡➡ua-cam.com/users/shortstWRxwlClpxI?feature=share
How mutch dos all this cost for you guys?
And will you guys make some of the tanks so good that it can be in reenactment events? And also, itsnt hecking hot working on tanks?
What is each of the guys favourite tank in the museum?
What qualifications/experience would somebody need to have in order to work on tanks like this?
Isnt it putting lots of excessive stress in the material which can cause cracks, when the boys rapidly cool the parts theyre trying to losen up with the heat?
@Villy-dv5yn I wonder 2 things, if it is for Queensland Movie Industry as Props, & or maybe another labor of love of a New Zealand Movie Maker who also restores WW1 Aircraft ...
13:37 My favourite words in an Ausarmour video "I think we'll go with a bit of heat" 😁
YES! the old "heat wrench"
I used to be a machine tool maintenance engineer many years ago before retirement, a German company called Spandau made duplex grinders and the work head had exactly the same setup as the turret ring. I used to enjoy rebuilding them after the ball tracks had been reground to accept slightly oversized balls! All this to an accuracy of 5 microns.
Spandau were more famous ever since WW1 for making machine guns
Absolutely enthralling, I could watch this for hours and not notice the time slipping by.
Highly addictive stuff and so "more" will never be enough.
You guys make my day when you publish videos.
What a team! You figured it out.
So happy to watch every Panzer getting back to its life again is always Awesome !. See you guys on the next one ! 😊👍
1:03 that's how they used to make OLD (and i really mean) old bearings. Those smaller balls are not actually ball bearings, they're spacers. The balls can't bunch up and friction wear, because they space the larger balls apart (since they can't get stuck). I did a bunch of custom bearings for a piece of old equipment and had the same conundrum as to why some balls were smaller.
Interesting!
When I was a contract mechanic for the Army, to get the ball bearings out of the ring we turned the ring so the hole faced down. we placed a bucket below the hole and as we rotated the ring, the bearings would fall out the hole into the bucket as they rotated to it. It didn't work every time but it did more than 80% of the time. Put a cloth in the bucket to stop the bearings from bouncing out.
I bet you didn't use a steel punch and hammer to move the balls. It's great the museum is doing restoration, but one of the usual requirements is to not do additional damage doing so.
never knew about the washer trick, that's genious!
I nearly forget it's summer down there until Wednesday rolls around. It'll be a lovely -30C weekend where I am. 😂
34°c where I am in Tasmania, Australia's coldest state.😊
At the Mother-in-law's?
Interesting video today on how that turret ring was put together. See yas on fix it Friday.
+35 Celsius where these blokes are!
the thing with the big and small ball is the small one spins reversed while turning so the balls dont rub on each other
usually you would see some kind of spacer but this is one is actually really clever designed
The WW2 British report on the captured PzKpfw IV G also found the same arrangement for that turret ring. In the report they too credit that fractional difference in ball bearing diameter aiding in circulating grease around the Ring
Simply amazing !!!
Dear Guys,
This part of the Panzer II will look perfect when all is ready
Legend has it that Daryl is still hammering at that turret.
With Panzer I-III the Germans were teaching themselves how to design tanks. That's why they all had different armaments, suspensions, and hull constructions. Not surprised to see that disassembly of the turret ring and its bearings was also unique!
Interesting stuff as usual, and look forward to seeing this project finish. Hope you aren't being impacted by the floods that are afflicting Northern Queensland at the moment. STAY SAFE GUYS
Did Daryl get the hatch moving freely? …. Course he did this is Daryl ! 👍👍👍
Don't know what it is but I find these videos incredibly relaxing😂
It's the joy of watching someone else working hard 😀
It's like a jigsaw puzzle in reverse with pieces which have to be banged out of the frame and half missing
Great craftsmen and the editing on these videos is excellent. Really tells the story.
Under optimal conditions, eight M8 bolts of strength class 8.8 can support approximately 16 tons under tensile load.
If the bolts are subjected to shear stress or made of lower-quality material, the load capacity would be significantly lower.
Nothing that a little heat and a big hammer cant fix! Best from the USA.
16:15. finally seeing the unsung hero of the crew, busy sweeping the floor!
It’s the things in the background that interest me. Panther commanders cupola, Panzer III commanders cupola, drivers gauge panel on the table back there.
Going to be a great year of restorations.
A great bit of percussive maintenance.
Another great video thanks Daryl. Proves that you can achieve wonders with heat and a BIG hammer
Daryl, one trick that might help you out that I have picked up in the machining world is when you are heating stuck bolts or joints is to put wax or tapping fluid on the threads or joint after heating instead of water. it helps to cool similar to the water but usually seeps into threads and tight spaces better while adding a lubricant. However, when using the oil watch out for flame ups. usually nothing serious but I wouldn't recommend it in confined spaces.
Darryl is a total rockstar.
I build alot of plastic tank models, but my greatest thrill was doing a frame off restoration of a WW2 1943 Chevrolet g506 4x4 army truck. Appreciate the work and patience it takes to work on restoring military equipment. Keep it up men. One day I intend to show up at your museum.
Greetings from Vienna, Austria. Great content! :)
Great job, Short Pants is a magician
A good mallet, aka persuader, works miracles 😊
Perfect length this time to watch while the kid gets ready for school!
Absolutely loved the disassembly process in this video! It's fascinating to see the intricate details of the Panzer II turret ring. Can't wait for more Workshop Wednesdays to dive into the restorations!
А тебе это интересно?

@@РамонСчварыHabe schon einmal ein Kommentar von ihr zu einem ähnlichen Thema gesehen und mich das gleiche gefragt 😅
Go Daryl! Mr Relentless. Good to see, Mate. Show it who's Boss
I want to jump in and cleanup the turret ring, ball bearing, and race. It would be so satisfying to see them shining and moving like new.
Great work perceverence.
8.58, there is a nice early tiger tank commander hatch !!!
Amazing work daz
Always very interesting. Thanks for sharing
the bolts shearing off he turret ring saved it from being bent or deformed beyond repair. The thickness of the steel of the turret itself, would not even keep out a 50cal BMG projectile or the anti tank rifles of the 1930's.
Grazie ❤
i guess your getting this rain to also can not wait to see how you guys do the panzer 2 in the coming months
AAAM shop: noodling-out capital of the world.
Great closing image of Daryl hammering away at that visor cover! 😅
Fascinating, as usual.
Great progress.!
always a highlight of the day, ty
Just found this channel, you guys are amazing!
Love the videos, and very nice to see you all make these old rusty parts back to glorious historical tanks.
Maybe if you have time during the video editing it might be fun to explain why you do stuff. Like the heating and rapid cooling, what do you hope will happen.
Go Daryl!
Best day of the week Workshop Wednesday!!
My favorite channel ❤️
You guys do amazing work.
Only got this notification when it's been up a while I wonder why? Anyway yippee another upload from the lads .
Those 10 8mm bolts holding the ring to the turret still fared better than the bolts holding the ring to the hull.
Awesome thanks guys 👍
Niceeee, video quality looks so sharp today.
You should bag up that 80 year old grease from the turret ring and sell it in the museum. Would help keep the boys in beer for a bit. Good work as usual.
Great effort!
I would recommend using a lead hammer. Doesn't damage the surface or the parts but doesn't dampen the impact like the plastic hammer does
Great work Daryl ! What a ball-ache lolz
Hi Kurt, still have to say love the music selection. Would love you to release/ or pass on all the music from this fantastic series.
Oh Balls!!! Nice work lads!
I wish my workplace had a Panther tank cupola just laying around in the back. 😄
11:20 the tank got blown up, the turret decided to try for the lollipop olympics and left the tank in a hurry. THIS is why the ball was shattered. It was basically almost sheared off when the force of the inner ring tried to rip out of the outer ring. It didn't happen, and the bolts broke. This is also why the ring is intact otherwise, because the upper ring was bolted to the turret and the inner ring was affixed by each ball in the two races. Had the bolts sheared off unequally or on both sides, it would've been a different story.
Get the jet wash in!
That is why ball bearing factories were a prime target. Big machines ran on loads of balls.
It's been said here before; Daryl is a patient man.
Pulling out those ball bearings reminds me of pulling out bot flies.
Go on Darryl, HIT IT! 😅
The bearings are 2 different sizes because this allows grease to pass through and not get packed together once you pull out the smaller bearings pull bearings to you and the remove the larger
Problem is that the cheese head screws back out and bearings fracture them
On the job training for old armour! Go Darryl
I love the lower case c business 😂
It might sound weird but ive always wanted to know what the ball bearings in a tank turret looked like , how big and where in the turret assembly they were located . Hearing about WW2 from my father and from documentaries i associate ball bearings with the USAF raid on the German factories at Scweinfurt that produced them .
I think they build it so lightly with few bolts, because it was only inteded to withstand 20mm rounds from the front (Ausf.F) and otherwise 7,92mm S.m.K. allround anyway, to save on weight and cost.
Yes, but it is German. Why is it not over engineered?😊
Heat always wins. Heat / Quench / Repeat
good old Daryl!
Holy framerate, Batman!
Nice! New camera or lower max resolution?
Best way pop it out of main assembly
Thanks.
Погон башни специально мощнее болтов. Если что - болты сорвутся а погон не поведет.
Maybe the turret ring was supposed to be a weak point as a way of relieving inside pressure if the tank got hit & ammo went off, saving the tank from damage? Hence the puny 8mm bolts.
Last week I saw a vid of a german tank factory making panzers
You're meant to weld the washer to the broken bolt first and then weld the nut to the washer. This is because it's easier get a solid weld from the washer to the bolt rather than trying to weld down inside the nut to the bolt. What you're doing is probably making it harder because you're welding down through the nut and the washer.
Excellent
I wonder if the old ball bearings will be reused, or replaced with new ones?
Love the content. Cheers from Estonia
The original Lazy Fritz.
Actully you put a large washer over the broken bolt weld inside the washer to the broken bolt it and the you weld the outside of the nut to the washer
You need some Ardrox 1812.
Thanks :)
Hans and Rolf at the Panzer plant were firm believers in the Russian doll method of turret ring assembly.
Cool 😎
The disassembly and repair of long frozen tank parts (from tanks that we are interested in) are the money videos of this channel. My personal view is I'm only interested in WW2 equipment from Germany, America and Russia. I personally have zero interest in the obscure equipment from France or Italy for example. I don't watch the videos when those types of restorations are going. I love Daryl's tenacity in getting things apart. He's representing the older workers nicely!
The smaller bearings are probably just spacers for the actual bearings
I think I would try some sponge plastic in margarine tub to wipe off grease from screwdriver.
Mk 1 & 2 panzers were basically training tanks that were used in war due to a shortage of medium tanks. The idea that the German economy was mostly war production right from the start is inaccurate. It was mostly geared to peacetime production of consumer goods until early in the war as it was thought that Germany could achieve its goals in a series of relatively small conquests to secure their people separated by the Versailles treaty, obtain resources and counter nations that did declare war on Germany on or after Sept. 1, 1939.
Germany was essentially fighting a defensive poor mans war.
I was curious, when you have original parts that are broken, unrepairable and so on do you keep them somewhere? Or are they sold to the scrap man? The small hidden bolts made me think of this question. They aren't worth much other than a souvenier are they?
Surfer shorts in the back sweeping up lol
AMAZING and Daryl has beautiful legs.
🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰👍🏻🫵🏼
