Beau is an artist...but instead of paintbrushes, his tools are a blowtorch, hammer & a multitude of other hand & power tools. ...& Kurt makes it a viewing masterpiece with his film work & narratives.
Cheers Lads 👍
I like the way they build the wrench into the mechanism to tighten the roller. Something I would have not seen at any military museum. Thank You
As usual, Aus Armour proves how entertaining taking apart rusted steel gizmos can be! Especially if they have historical provenence. Beau and Kurt also show us how a genuine friendship can make media content so much more pleasant to watch.
Professionals at turning complete scrap into valuable and often unique bits of history. 🙂
Saving what looks like pieces of complete scrap, and returning them to their rightful place in history.
The best thing I've learned from watching the WW videos is how effective heat from a torch is for loosening parts that have been rusted and stuck together for decades. What looks like unusable lumps of rusty metal are often saved and restored. Great stuff!
Awesome mates!!!.Keep the history alive!! When y'all tackling the Tiger 1 resto to running order??.That would be the cats meow!!!
Patience makes perfect. Beau's patience at teasing the bolts loose, and re-assembling the parts so all of them move, is a credit to his years of experience. And for the most part using all the original bits, too.
Incredible job, gentleman. This, Stug will need a brass restoration plate mounted in it with the modern-day names of those who restored it
Allways amazing watching this craftmanship.
As a german craftman i allways smiley when you talk about how we craft our stuff.
Kurt we hope all is fine, nice that you are back.
Fantastic, Work shop Wednesday Well done guys.
What these blokes can’t do with metal and old parts just ain’t worth doing. Well done yet again.👍🇦🇺
3 things: 1. MIG pliers 😅. 2.dang roll pins! 3. Love the offset vice!
Beau's workmanship is just amazing. What a professional. Sign him up. The Herr would've taken him...
Holy Toledo!!! That’s awesome work that Beau is doing. Little parts are one thing but recreating the whole gun mount… gad zooks!
Great job recording it all Kurt.
Beau is something else, he's awesome and what a hell of a asset he is to Australian Armour. I hope people watching this can understand the degree of difficulty it was in making this gun mount ,I sure appreciate it thank you Mates
WW is great! I think everyone who has worked on rusty old cars will identify with this one. I can smell the penetrating oil on hot metal
Exactly. I look at it and get flashbacks to my MG BGT. (I don't think it's PTSD!)
Your Thumbnail reads "STÜÜÜG III".
This is the invention of the:
🤘☠️🤘 HEAVY METAL WÖRKSHOP UMLAUT☠️🤘☠️
So Metal on, your are the Mötley Crüe of Armories. 👍
Thank you so much for recording the history of how you blokes restore history. These videos are incredibly interesting, and so damn fascinating to watch. And I can't wait to see the video on the KV-1 that Kurt is standing in front of at the start of the video!
that makes me smile, it doesn't just happen to me, i am forever frustrated at stupid jobs like this, and it never amazes me that such small parts play an important part in keeping larger things together
i often find jobs such as this take several attempts, knocking pins out, getting drills stuck, punches, you drive a pin 7/8 the way out, just for the punch to get stuck, as you try to remove it breaks, the pin falls out, but the piece of punch or drill takes even more effort to remove
amazing work boyz
That was so impressive to watch. It was even more impressive to see the STUG III G's main gun traversing so smoothly. Well done to all.
These guys figured out the farmers tool box.
Heat, leverage, brute force.
Things become easier at a liquid or semi liquid state.
Its the thingy that holds the bit that makes the big piece move before it can go bang! Hope that helps!😅
To use the correct vernacular
Es ist das Ding, das das Gebiss hält und das nächste große Stück bewegt, bevor es knallen kann 😂
A lot of todays engineers couldn`t do such a clamp with 3D CAD and FEM and they did it with only on paper. Great work on this mount guys.
This is first class design analysis. Aus armour have a potential side line business stream here. Value analysis training films.
Y'all are genuinely Blessed to have such a talented young man willing to apply his talents refurbishing whatever is thrown his way.
Guard him close as others will want his talents for their own shops.
Amazing what skills the engineers, and craftsmen the Germans had.
Imagine if they had real leadership with the intelligence, and motivation the craftsmen, and all the others in manufacturing had how things might have changed.
Probably wouldn't have had the madness that was the trademark of the one's following Hitler surely.
Nor would they had aspersions to take over the world either i wouldn't think.
Dear Guys,
For me it’s always amazing to see how even small parts of classic army vehicles are restored with a lot of eye for details as well as with love to work with metal. The more I watch your episodes the more I regret I never will be able to visit your museum and your fabulous restoration team. At the other hand I’m grateful that I can follow your vlogs so I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
Beautiful work again Beau. I still can’t get over the brilliant engineering, all done while there’s a war going on and they weee under pressure to produce large numbers quickly .
It's funny, but within the last week or so I watched a video on EngelsCoachShop where Dave used a smoke wrench and worried fasteners back & forth like Bo did to loosen them without destroying them. You guys are very lucky to have folks like Bo on your Team!
I liked the way the wrench is build into the mechanism to tighten the roller. Something i would have never seen or learned from a military museum. Thank You
Got my Aussie Armour fix, well done lads, I'm definitely not a whinging pom now!
this is so awesome to watch.
the craftmanship of you guys are simply mindblowing
You guy's are Magician's!!!
Excellent , it's so nice to see the effort you guys go to to bring a machine of history back to life , Thank you
The sheer PAIN when you hear those words, "That's all we have time for today !"😮😱😱😢😢😢😢😢
There is just something so soothing to my soul watching a true craftsman perform their art. Beau is that craftsman. Perhaps James May could be convinced to visit for a guest appearance? His "Reassembler" series felt the same way.
I have a model stug iii b and it is fun to follow along with this projects and seeing the parts you repair and comparing to my tiny one
Absolutely amazing work ! Kind of makes me wish I had paid more attention in math class
So nice to see our old tech being restored as best as possible and the dedication from you guys.
Great close-up camera work.
A thing of beauty
Impressive work!
Those rollers were a good size to throw into a bucket of used motor oil for 2-3 weeks before trying to free them. Works well if it's not a right now situation and you can plan ahead a bit.
I didn't even know the StuG's gun had horizontal movement. Very cool to see the workings of the assembly.
Amazing job. It's so cool to see how all this parts work together.
Thanks for another great video! You fellas make me feel like I'm there and involved. I swear, I can almost smell the rust, grease and oil!
Amazing job guys. I love Wednesdays just for these videos and the Stug is a firm favourite of mine. You guys have the best job in the world. See you soon, hello from Brisbane.
Fascinating. I could watch this disassembly and reassembly process all day long. I should be earning college credit for all the things I learn thru this channel. Best armor restoration channel on UA-cam!!
Very good work absolut amazing.
I can imagine by the last shot of the Video how it feels when you stand at the wrong side of this gun.
It is final
Y'all are magicians!
What a wonderful way to start a Wednesday! Thanks!!!
Beautiful another nice little nugget in place well done fellas.
The satisfaction that must come after all that work, and to have it work as you envisioned it must feel really good. Well done Beau.
Quite an intresting and really good video. Its very nice to see the progress on the Stug 3.
Great to see you back Kurt. Hope all is well.
An absolutely awesome rebuild of the gun mount! Beau is a really talented fabricator and engineer. The Aus Armour Museum is really lucky to have had Beau working there with his father (since he started there from school I believe,) and they have trained him extremely well.
Another great video showing the detail and hard work of those awesome lads working to restore this piece of history and of course, all the others as well. I binge watched the whole StuG build up to date a couple of days ago and appreciate this next piece on the StuG. One of my favorite German vehicles of WW2. Love watching these videos and this one was a great way to start my day. I ate my breakfast, kicked back in the chair and enjoyed this very much! As others have said, what a great way to start the day. Thank you! Keep up the invaluable work guys! You all are appreciated so much. Thanks Kurt for capturing all of this and editing it and getting it out there for us to all enjoy. Can't wait for the next WSW!
So cool to watch the progress. The perfectionist in me wants to mill all those hideous castings, the historical reenactor in me knows that wouldn't be authentic.
Congratulations guys on a BEAUTIFUL restoration and i love how you have all taken so much car of everything!
One day i hope to come over from the UK and join Aus Armour fest, and hopefully meet all of you!!
Nice I remember seeing this stug in pieces massive transformation
Damn fine work as always guys.! So, a quality air power chisel would work super for you guys in some areas of your work.
Your mechanical magicians did it again. Nicely done!
I'm so incredibly happy to see the Stug again! Beautiful work. Bonza mates. Cheers!
Rebuilding the Stug life.
Thats cool, the integrated handle on the stop block is amazing. German complex engineering. But in wartime, you'd loose adjusting wrench, so brilliant.
I used to removed seized links by drilling them out nearly all the way and then using a punch. You have weakened the metal and driving it from the end you want out rather than turning it into rivet by splatting one end. Nice
Nice work and … as ever … a gentle reminder that taking it slowly is quicker and cheaper😁! Thank you gentlemen.
as always, beau does impressive work.
Wonderfull craftmanchip from those mechanics.
Another amazing, informative video. You guys are knocking it out of the park with your videos!
Kurt Some of the Stug and Panzer designs were done in 1939 (listed as farm tractors). That would be prewar economy. Beau great craftsman work.
Love everything you guys do. I so look forward to every one of your videos.
Impressive amount of detail in that build. I like the fact that the wrench to tighten it down was attached so it wouldn't get lost. Lol
Ever since I started watching you guys last year when you started doing work on the tiger one I've been hooked ever since. And it's really cool how you try and save some old Parts if you can and then incorporate new parts into the build because some of them were too badly damaged.
It's still amazes me that people still go out there and search for World War II parts from the battlefields of World War II.
Dealing with that roller reminds me of dealing with big golf mower rollers.
Excellent
WOOOO STUG EPISODEEE
you guys are incredible artists.
Flipping brilliant as usual guys!
its always nice when things come together
Brilliant, it will be great in the end 👍👍
Wow! Exciting to see this traverse mechanism wrapped up and the gun mounted in the hull!
Jste borcí,jsem váš fanoušek.Aleš Česká republika.
Thank you, Beau & Glen, I absolutely love Workshop Wednesday. The attention to detail leaves me gob smacked. Looking forward to next week's episode. If I feel I need a fix, I do rewatch older episodes. Cheers
Absolutely bloody brilliant work
Świetna robota 👍. Pozdrawiam całą ekipę z Polski 🇵🇱
That is some sick work on the mount.
Seeing the skill and care you guys show, and then watching other channels, you realize that some are literally hacks.
Another great video, thank for taking the time to explain what you are doing.
Weer een prachtig mooie film verslag van Workshop Wednesday , Bo is again so talented in how to attack stubborn bolts to get lose, and how to temper them to prevent more damage. O Lord i love this channel!!!
Thank you for all your work-you have some VERY clever people there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You all continue to impress!Thank you for keeping history alive.
Another Gem vid thanks guys you make it look so dam easy brings back memories.
Beautiful craftsmanship, really do wonder what through their minds in a war time economy making complex pieces such as that.
Just love watching this guy work.hypnotic😊
Ahh the reversen kanonne raden uppen Machen Gerat... Ok typed in jest but as always such care and skill displayed, and good camera work
Great work Beau & Kurt! 😃👍!
You guys show what Museum Restoration really involves. I applied for a job in the National Army Museum in the very early 70's in London. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful as I was just out of college, and not even semi-skilled at that stage. That is the reason I watch your videos. You show what I have been missing all this time. I did become an engineer/mechanic and got to work on some really interesting tractors and other equipment to not so high requirements as museum standard. I would love to help you guys out on a regular basis but I'm now 69yrs old, disabled by so long in rough engineering that I can't walk(back, knees and the rest) & stuck in rural England. I can watch and imagine myself taking on some of the tasks you get to play with, and love every minute of the videos. Keep up the excellent work, you are true Museum Class Restorers of the highest order. and should be lauded as such. Thanks for the work you do, and I look forward to watching your travails and triumphs in the future.
That was brilliant, great to see the gun gliding around after the hard work.
One of my favourite tanks. My most favourite is the Jadgpanther.
Thanks chaps.... once again I'm fascinated by a bloke working on bits of metal that I had no idea existed until 20 or so minutes ago. The team make this so accessible and engaging... thanks all.
