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.
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 👍
You guys are a step above all engineers. Thank You Thank you
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

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!
That could be said about VW as well :D
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.
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.
Fantastic, Work shop Wednesday Well done guys.
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.
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.
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.
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 😂
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!
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!)
Beau's workmanship is just amazing. What a professional. Sign him up. The Herr would've taken him...
We need more content longer videos need more
Hour long episodes would be just about right, I agree.🙂
@@AdamWeber-pi1gs a complete job with details of what is going on
Impressive work!
Excellent , it's so nice to see the effort you guys go to to bring a machine of history back to life , Thank you
Awesome mates!!!.Keep the history alive!! When y'all tackling the Tiger 1 resto to running order??.That would be the cats meow!!!
What a wonderful way to start a Wednesday! Thanks!!!
Great close-up camera work.
This is first class design analysis. Aus armour have a potential side line business stream here. Value analysis training films.
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
Love everything you guys do. I so look forward to every one of your videos.
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.
Rebuilding the Stug life.
Great to see you back Kurt. Hope all is well.
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
Got my Aussie Armour fix, well done lads, I'm definitely not a whinging pom now!
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!
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
Incredible job, gentleman. This, Stug will need a brass restoration plate mounted in it with the modern-day names of those who restored it
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
3 things: 1. MIG pliers 😅. 2.dang roll pins! 3. Love the offset vice!
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 .
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. 👍
A Shop full of Mötörheads 🤘
its always nice when things come together
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!!
Another beauty lads.
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.
Absolutely FANTASTIC!! Great video to watch. Well done.
as always, beau does impressive work.
Great work Beau & Kurt! 😃👍!
Another great video, thank for taking the time to explain what you are doing.
Just love watching this guy work.hypnotic😊
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.
Always an Outstanding video and presentation buy the mechanics and Kurt!
What these blokes can’t do with metal and old parts just ain’t worth doing. Well done yet again.👍🇦🇺
One of my favourite tanks. My most favourite is the Jadgpanther.
I didn't even know the StuG's gun had horizontal movement. Very cool to see the workings of the assembly.
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!
A thing of beauty
Świetna robota 👍. Pozdrawiam całą ekipę z Polski 🇵🇱
this is so awesome to watch.
the craftmanship of you guys are simply mindblowing
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
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.
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.
That is some sick work on the mount.
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.
First yeah we have yet another great stug iii episode
Fantastic work. Love that Stug project.
Dealing with that roller reminds me of dealing with big golf mower rollers.
I'm so incredibly happy to see the Stug again! Beautiful work. Bonza mates. Cheers!
Amazing job. It's so cool to see how all this parts work together.
Absolutely amazing work ! Kind of makes me wish I had paid more attention in math class
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.
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
È incredibile che dietro ogni singolo pezzo ci sia una così incredibile ricerca ingegneristica!!!! E tutto ciò più di ottant'anni fa!!!!!
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
Brilliant, so good to see the Stug coming along. A credit to everyone involved.
Keep up the good work
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!
That was a great start to my Wednesday. Many thanks for another awesome resto video.
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
Excellent work, guys ❤
This is such a cool channel! Thanks, Mates 🦘
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.
Beautiful another nice little nugget in place well done fellas.
Your mechanical magicians did it again. Nicely done!
As always guys beautiful work! Great work on the cinematography Kurt!
Thats cool, the integrated handle on the stop block is amazing. German complex engineering. But in wartime, you'd loose adjusting wrench, so brilliant.
Nice I remember seeing this stug in pieces massive transformation
Flipping brilliant as usual guys!
You all continue to impress!Thank you for keeping history alive.
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!!
You guy's are Magician's!!!
So nice to see our old tech being restored as best as possible and the dedication from you guys.
Beautiful. My Fav project
There are some old artillery ranges on FT. Benning that have sunken tanks in the woods. I found a couple when I had to use a M88a1 to recover some vehicles from those woods. We kept finding dummy rounds all over the place. And what we thought were dirt mounds ended up being WW2 tanks and not just typical Shermans. Some smaller kinds from what I could tell. It's all just sitting out there in the mud and dirt hidden.
Another amazing, informative video. You guys are knocking it out of the park with your videos!
That was so interesting so much so that l have subscribed, what you guys do to get these bits of history back to working order is unbelievable 👍
Excellent
Y'all are magicians!
These guys figured out the farmers tool box.
Heat, leverage, brute force.
Things become easier at a liquid or semi liquid state.
Masterful as always!
Greetings from Sweden.
Wonderfull craftmanchip from those mechanics.
Excellent work as usual. Great too see.
Absolutely bloody brilliant work
Quite an intresting and really good video. Its very nice to see the progress on the Stug 3.
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.
Damn fine work as always guys.! So, a quality air power chisel would work super for you guys in some areas of your work.
