You know they’re good just from Beau wandering with a grin on his face! What a pool of skills and from Michaels comments about cast in Poland supporting more local industries too. Their museum will be well worth a trip when they get it going.
Thank you guys for restoring and saving history for all future generations! It's not about war and who's won what - it's about engineering at its finest for the periods that sadly was used for bad things. Saving history is about learning from the past, and if you're at the same time a bit of a tank aficionado like me and most of you here, then you're in for a treat watching our Aussie and Polish friends here! I only wish these videos were a couple hours each walking through the treasures at Panzerfarm, but every minute of it is awesome and I thank you for making the trip and the videos!
When they said they might get their Tiger running one day, I thought they meant decades away. This is so cool. Imagine if we see it headlining Ausarmourfest in a few years.
I will say it again, I just love Workshop Wednesday. Kurt & Beau, you both must have been drooling and smiling like children. I hope you took some shirts & caps for the Panzer Farm team. If it was me, I would be scoping one of their jackets. Great episode, Kurt your Polish is also incredible. Cheers
That is one hell of a teaser to finish with...full working Tiger I with newly machined engine parts? Think that might just top the list of requests for Aus Armor Day!
The plus side is modern metalcasting and machining is far better so they will last way longer than factory stuff. Given the shortage of alloys and metals the germans faced during the war it is impressive some of the stuff they got built
About 85 years ago, my ancestors unrightfully entered Poland and shamefully brought death and destruction, nowadays these guys from Panzerfarm as well as AusArmour restorate this technical stuff with absolute perfection. I hate the purpose, this machinery was made for, but I really enjoy and love the technical thing itsself. Thank you Panzerfarm and AusArmour for another wonderful vid.
Your ancestors were rightfully saving the lives of ethnic Germans who were being persecuted by the Bolsheiviks. You have been lied to by the victors, who write history. Be proud of your country and people. Even the US General Patton said; "We fought the wrong enemy." Germany fought with Christian honour!
This show just gets better and better. This and last weeks episodes are awesome. Love how these Polish guys can turn out such high quality parts. Love this stuff!!!!
I’m glad to see a mixture of young and middle aged craftsmen working on these pieces of history I’ve heard that machinist are getting fewer and fewer but your videos give me hope.
Thanks. All you grease-stained people are the heroes of my childhood dreams. I'm 63, and now have tears in my eyes from seeing so much dedication, search for perfection, pleasure and satisfaction. Wow.
When I did my apprenticeship back in 1970, our training staff had an Ex RAF W/O Engineer who had been out in the Libyan Desert. He would tell us tales of all the Aero engine parts he and his unit used to MAKE when supplies had not come through, Marek at 15:16 is the spitting image of him, and I could see that same look in his eyes like there is NOTHING beyond his skill ! A bit like your young Beau. I would PAY to watch Marek making stuff, as I bet he would be as hypnotic as your tea in their artistry. Our Mr Brewster would ALWAYS just have turning formulae in his HEAD as well as an almost unlimited memory of all sorts of heating temperatures for different finishes etc ...ALL before CAD and calculators, only with SlideRules. I'm so grateful YOU guys are keeping those skills ALIVE
It's really impressive how they combined ultra modern techniques like 3D scanning and printing with classic machinist skills to remake previously unreplaceable castings.
It's amazing to see the amount of metal, special alloys, castings, and precise machining that went into things that were eventually going to be destroyed or break down and be abandoned, sometimes not long after they were made. That really stands out when looking at power plants.
The cumulative skill sets of all the old boys in that video is humbling, mad respect. Worked on enough old war era equipment in my youth to know they are in a class all to themselves.
What a gold mine you have discovered in this Polish engineering shop. Congratulations, may your collaboration with them deliver many more projects in your Smithfield Museum.
Those maybach engines were working so hard to push a tank that was usually 10-15 ton heavier than what they were spec’d for. That is so thin between the cylinders, no wonder they self ventilated so easy, aside from inexperienced drivers. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I'm surprised that they tried to make those V12 engines so small. I would suppose the newer tanks like the King Tiger and Panther would have bigger engine bays that it would not have been necessary.
Happy wksp weds from UK, all those guys are so enthusiastic about what they are doing people like you keeps old machines and the skills needed to fix them alive . Long may that continue
The name Tadek is sacred to Aston Martin lore. I would love to go the the PZ Farm and muddle about whilst on holiday. Would like to volunteer for a week and work at their shop. I used to go to the Jaques Littlefield Collection, and help out the restoration team. Got to work on a Panther, Goliath, and a Sherman. Wonderful workmanship and video series!
These guys are the real deal at Panzerfarm that can manufacture parts and do all the fitments necessary it's to bad they don't have a program ( a apprenticeship program ) for youth ,This is fascinating to me and I'm sure a lot of others
I saw al your videos and i have a great RESPEKT of your job. in germany we said I take my hat off to you and your work. And I think many of you don`t go to work, but to your hobby. Wonderful keep it up and many thanks from germany.😃😃😃
i just wish someone from hungary would go to kubinka, make a deal with the museum to measure and then make 100% accurate replicas of the hungarian tanks to display them in hungary, a country deserve to show off their own production vehicles in their country, its part of our history
What top notch engineering despite not always having parts to copy. These engineers seem to be thin on the ground now unfortunately. Wonderful video...thank you!
Hiring . . . if only it was in Australia 40yrs as a Fitter and Turner CNC Machinist and 12yrs in Aerospace manufacturing for US defense. Damn its on the other side of the planet. Great vid🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
These Panzer Farm videos have been amazing, who wouldn't want to work there, everywhere you look, are more vehicles, parts and gifted and commited staff, great setup. Fantastic video.
What a setup they have. I remember buying my daughter her first bike in 86. It was bult in Poland and was heavy as a panzer.🤣😂. Much respect from the U.S.
Yeah, they have definitely scored full marks on the wow factor. I find it amazing that 80 years after the war there is still German equipment to be found. It isn't the thousand year Reich that Hitler promised but a much better one that serves as a reminder of those dark times that hopefully won't be repeated in the future. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Polish people for many reasons, this being yet another. I wish them loads of success going forward with this great project. Their craftsmanship is inspiring.
Fantastic stuff! You folks are defining your niche perfectly in the burgeoning UA-cam afv restoration scene. Your tie up with the Panzerfarm is totally on point, coming just as Joe Hewes & The Tank Museum begin their co-operative FV4005 project.
Absolutely MAGIC episode! It gives such hope and inspiration that if PanzerFarm can recreate so much of the Maybach HL230 engine (and other components needed) that we here in Aussie could one day actually have our own fully running Tiger H1! And I dare to dream it, even the Jagdpanther, which is such an amazing vehicle. To see them running each year would be truly amazing!
wow what an amazing place, You can tell Beau was so impressed he never spoke 😂😂. Its great to see how you acquire the parts for your projects and how they replicate them . this is what i love preservation of histort for future generations, Can't wait for part 3.
Wow absolutely amazing to see all these vehicles and parts. One can almost feel the passion of these guys and all of you to . It definitely is an eye opener to see how much is still around. Greetings from a German in Western Australia 🇦🇺
Greetings from Poland to enthusiasts from Australia
You know they’re good just from Beau wandering with a grin on his face! What a pool of skills and from Michaels comments about cast in Poland supporting more local industries too. Their museum will be well worth a trip when they get it going.
This place is on my bucket list now besides AAAM and a few others.
Some of the machine tools probably deserve an episode of their own. Fascinating.
Agreed
Yeah everything is done by computers now old school milling and lathes fascinating

They really are the gatekeepers of history. Remanufactured parts and the efforts taken to deliver perfection
Love the schwimwagon, beautiful .

Old skills are slowly fading.
You have to have them over for a visit
Thanks God he put on Earth these amazing people !Biig thanks for both teams for their precious work!
20 minutes a week is just not enough my friends. 😅 great videos guys, love it.

Loving Verkshop Vednesday with Kurt and the guys. A famtastic team up and great to see knowledge shared, and skills passed on.
What an amazing place and an even more amazing bunch of people. Thanks for sharing it with us. 👍🏻🇦🇺
Wow ! There don’t seem to be adjectives appropriate enough for this episode ! Truly amazing shop and work ! Thanks for taking us along
What a gold mine you have discovered in this Polish engineering shop. Congratulations, may your collaboration with them deliver many more projects in your Smithfield Museum.
I really look forward to workshop Wednesday!!! I really wouldn’t complain if you guys decided to do two videos a week? One can dream
Those maybach engines were working so hard to push a tank that was usually 10-15 ton heavier than what they were spec’d for. That is so thin between the cylinders, no wonder they self ventilated so easy, aside from inexperienced drivers. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I'm surprised that they tried to make those V12 engines so small. I would suppose the newer tanks like the King Tiger and Panther would have bigger engine bays that it would not have been necessary.
Just take a proven aircraft V12 like the Brits did succesfully.
@@CarLos-yi7neThe Tigers would have been 60tons if they used a long engine like Meteor or the W2.
gets worse when you realize the block is aluminum.
@@murmaider2damn. I thought German engineers were smart. Lol.
You people are amazing!
I have been to Cairns and to Museum, and it was awesome and I am going again next year
This episode of your Polish visit is riveting guys. Beau looked as if he was in heaven lol. Can't wait for next weeks Polish adventure!
Tremendous work.
This place needs its own show.
Wow, so interesting Kurt. Wish I was there..............
Happy wksp weds from UK, all those guys are so enthusiastic about what they are doing people like you keeps old machines and the skills needed to fix them alive . Long may that continue

Absolutely astounding! I love Poland and the Polish people! And again, this is the best channel on youtube!
Thank you that you go out of your ways to restore and rescue all those awesome relicts
Love their passion, very impressive guys, ty.
WOW Steyr 1500!!! Two of them!!! they are gorgeous!!! The most sexy WW2 4x4 vehicle of all!
I'm out of words.
The level of skill, time they spent: it's just incredible.
Well done guys, you can be proud !
What an extremely important and talented crew they have here on the farm , amazing what can be done with technology and effort !
These guys are the real deal at Panzerfarm that can manufacture parts and do all the fitments necessary it's to bad they don't have a program ( a apprenticeship program ) for youth ,This is fascinating to me and I'm sure a lot of others
Kurt bardzo ładnie przedstawiłeś się po polsku :)
That is some amazing work they are doing. As a machinist I am still waiting for the machine shop tour.
Can’t wait for the Tiger 1 engine restoration video series for a Running Tiger.
0:37 You did quite well :)
Mind blown seeing such skill and professionalism in a small place.
Incredible!
I can't believe I have to wait a whole week for the next episode!!! We need a Workshop Wednesday episode every day...LOL
Fantastic series from Poland
Inspiring stuff, guys, every single episode. It’s both humbling and a complete privilege to watch. Thank you!
The people at Panzer Farm are absolutely brilliant! My jaw is still on the floor after watching this side series.
This is so nice! I love the Polish mindset, to just get things done and done well 👌🏼👌🏼
What an astonishing place is the Panzerfarm !. Remaking original Panzer parts is incredible !. Can't wait to watch next journey of Kurt and Beau !.
I saw al your videos and i have a great RESPEKT of your job. in germany we said I take my hat off to you and your work. And I think many of you don`t go to work, but to your hobby. Wonderful keep it up and many thanks from germany.😃😃😃
RESPECT.
Kurt - very good polish language ;) Greetings from central Poland
Very cool to see CATIA V5 used for this. I have about 20 years experience using it in the aircraft industry. Great piece of software.
Polish-German cooperation, nice to see, working together for historical pieces.
Chłopaki, ale duma! Autentyczna pasja, ogromna wiedza, ręce, które leczą bez ściemy. Ukłony głębokie, panowie!
I knew it, I knew that tiger's gonna be back on track
i just wish someone from hungary would go to kubinka, make a deal with the museum to measure and then make 100% accurate replicas of the hungarian tanks to display them in hungary, a country deserve to show off their own production vehicles in their country, its part of our history
Mind well and truely blown!!
What top notch engineering despite not always having parts to copy. These engineers seem to be thin on the ground now unfortunately. Wonderful video...thank you!
The skill of those working in the Panzer farm is incredible, hand made replicas that look and work just like the original
Incredible. What talented engineers they are! Preserving the history of these incredible machines so they fully deserve the plaudits!
Hiring . . . if only it was in Australia 40yrs as a Fitter and Turner CNC Machinist and 12yrs in Aerospace manufacturing for US defense. Damn its on the other side of the planet. Great vid🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Feverishly waiting for the next part...
These Panzer Farm videos have been amazing, who wouldn't want to work there, everywhere you look, are more vehicles, parts and gifted and commited staff, great setup. Fantastic video.
This is art!
man I am more than impressed wow I mean wow.
Awsome workshops and workers!,
This place is absolutely amazing! I’m so glad someone has taken the time to research and restore these amazing vehicles.
Really great stuff. Those Tiger engine would be handy in someones Tiger.😮
What a setup they have. I remember buying my daughter her first bike in 86. It was bult in Poland and was heavy as a panzer.🤣😂. Much respect from the U.S.
I'm equally in awe and excited for what's to come!
Don't think I've ever seen a Schwimmwagen that clean. They're normally kind of beat up looking. Great episodes btw. Fascinating.
BRILLIANT GUYS 💥💪🙌
Brilliant!!
Fan-fucking-tastic, lads! Panzerfarm is a treasure trove of artifacts and experience!!!
Amazing!!!! Whish I could work there only a single minute.
Truley amazing, these are great men. Doing and making things that are magnificent. They must be extremely proud
Fantastic.
Yeah, they have definitely scored full marks on the wow factor. I find it amazing that 80 years after the war there is still German equipment to be found.

WOW, great episode again!!!👍👍👍
Wow, Panzer Farm is just amazing. What a great engineering and fabrication group.
Impressed👍👍
A place where modern technology meets historic machinery but basic 'old skool' engineering delivers the goods.
What an incredible place.
What a place
Loving this overseas 'field trip'! Good work.
Fantastic stuff! You folks are defining your niche perfectly in the burgeoning UA-cam afv restoration scene. Your tie up with the Panzerfarm is totally on point, coming just as Joe Hewes & The Tank Museum begin their co-operative FV4005 project.
