If you have questions about the StuG II Interior, let us know here and Beau will answer as many as he can in 60 seconds tomorrow!🧐📣📣
Are you going to change the 75mm cannon to a 30mm 6 barrel rotary Gatling cannon?
Is this one going to be able to fire blanks?/ Does the gun have fully functional parts?
Did German vehicles like this have a light-colored interior paint scheme like on Allied vehicles?
Would the inside of a late war stug iii have differed to one another due to late war shortages?
Would the inside of a late war stug have differed to one another due to shortages of materials?
Love how Beau finds simple solutions to complex problems. His knowledge of the tank is very comprehensive too: excellent workmanship. Thanks for another grand video.
I've been so busy at work I forgot all about workshop Wednesdays... Im getting comfortable and watching
My hat is off to whoever managed to hand write so beautifully on a ball bearing race where it came out from 👍
Thank you for putting out these absolute gems every week.
Beautiful job trimming and channeling those ready racks. Thanks! So satisfying to watch.
All coming together, top attention to detail, with all the fixtures and fittings, big thanks for making these videos 👍
Wednesdays are my favorite. Work's not busy and I get to just have a nice lunch break watching grease monkeys. Thank you!
Thank you for this report!
This was also a good episode.
When Bo gives his opinion, it is well thought out.
He does so well, his own safety and that of others.
The way he practices his profession is an example to many.
Enjoyed watching it.
Thanks again
Admire the effort to get a myriad small details as accurate as possible. Champion work!!
Me and my classmate sit in geography class every wednesday and watch workshop Wednesday
Absolutely love this show, always look forward to Workshop Wednesdays.
The kids are at school the coffee is ready and Beau is working on the stug. The start of a perfect Wednesday Workship. 😂
Brilliant work Beau 👍, so much detail to research and then manufacture.
The stug is now coming together real good 👍
Who else automatically glances away when the welder arcs?
So ingrained that I look away and have to force myself to watch...
Hell yeah. Makes me a bit cranky to be honest.
@johnclean6498 Goes against every instinct to look into the arc, at least for me.
It’s coming along nicely
Should be worship Wednesday
Awesome job Beau. Always enjoy seeing the Beau and Kurt double act. But where are Ryan and Lottie??
2:00 😱 those springs can be found in old German furniture of the age. Man... a shame, because i've disposed of a few unknowingly. My grandmother had a few recliners with the same spring design, if perhaps a longer spring design, can't recall correctly, it's been 15+ years. Bummer.
Thanks for the info because I need some for my SdKfz 251 seat. Regards from the Ardennes
Settling in for my Wednesday ritual of hot chips with chicken salt and workshop Wednesday. Life's good
Love your work, Beau! You're an absolute legend 😊
Fantastici, ricostruire un carro armato di 80 anni fa con pochi progetti tra le mani. Molto bravi. 👍
Great job ! Enjoyed the progress update, tx for sharing !
Great job Beau! Geez, the far flung, obscure & variable sources you use to try & find out 'where stuff goes' must make your job very difficult!
Congrats on your progress mate you're doing a sterling job!
Wel done Beau great video
Lovely work!
Well done Beau .
That has to be one of the best jobs in the world,no exaggerating either,and I bet it pays good too, and they have the full financial backing of the museum to get any tool they want,unbelievable opportunity these guys have and they do a great job,I’m definitely envious 🤷♂️
In Finland we have few fully operational stugs at Parola armour museum, and multiple not operational but almost fully intact around the country as war memorials etc.
j4rno the stugs as memorials ther idea may change as Britian has many Spitfires on plinths. now many are made ouut of fiberglas or other materials.
Thanks team
You're doing such a great job! Beau is becoming a master in his own right hey. Hard not to with such an awesome team around him, I suppose!
How about another excursion for Beau and Kurt to take photos and measurements of another Stug lll ? 🔥
Another great episode
Quite incredible.
Bo's the man!
You should go to a scale model competition and when someone asks you what you build, just remark that you make 1:1 scale WWII armor.
German engineering of that period was impressive. I can understand my the German war industry was so complex. Everybody was building complex machines.
Excellent video.
The reason for the angling is due to the shape of the rounds, and to ensure that they don't fall out.
There's a taper to the main part of the brass, then it necks down, so if the holder was flat, it might flop about a bit.
Slightly surprised that they don`t arc weld more. So clearly filmed.
Sieht Gut aus
Makes Wednesdays worth it
Keep it up. It's always great to see what you're accomplishing and what's going on. When do you want to finish it by?
Every ... single ... time ... I watch these videos and want to get into my shop and cut, weld, hammer .. whatever .. just straight up an incentive to "do something"
Great job as ever - and just when you thought being in a StuG was a good thing. Given the large percentage of armour that was knocked out by StuGs during the war, a truly amazing vehicle but goes to show that if was bit larger to allow for a roomier fighting compartment, it wouldn't have been able to do the job it was designed for to have such a high success rate.
Nice grinding Beau 😂
Would make a good wine rack
Who do you get in contact with if you know of some American tank parts. There seems to be a complete assembly final drive sprockets and I'm assuming a gear box. And a set of tracks. These are located at an earthmoving equipment business in Howard Queensland on the Fraser coast.
How tall is Beau? As he was talking about the seat he was working on he did not mention his height.
Good grief, man was that ever tight inside. Unfortunately for the crews it was probably a death especially for the driver. Great job as always.
You can see that it was very cramped inside for a crew of 4 guys when you start to load all the ammo and tools and whatever. The worst is the positioning of the driver, gunner and the commander and if the commander is incapacitated it is nearly impossible to bail out. I do have a question: with the new water cooled engine are you positioning the radiator and the fan more or less in a similar way?
It's Wenzzzday, so Kurt dishes the durt. 🏴☠
My question is how much room compared to other tanks did the Sturmgeschütz III have?
“Workship” Wednesday?
Whith all that storage,how many rounds were actually carried? And what was a typical mix of the different types of ammo? I asumme they were not all armour piercing?
Just getting into it, and there's that dreaded music telling me it's nearly over ☹
The people has been much smaller in WW 2 the average high was something with 170 cm I read it in a story about recruiting tank drivers ! In the Sovietunion the highest tank crew should be 160cm !
So did the drive de clutch and apply the brake as you steering left or right ? Curious about the steering and drive in general. I know old dozers with mechanical brakes were set up like that is all.
I do see a yellow engine already in the hull...
15th😂. Great job guys 👍
❤❤
3:22... Can't you just bend that right stick a tad out, an inch or so to make room for your knees? (Or would it be an illegal 21st century mod?)
👍👍👍👍
Will this girl be ready for armour fest 2025?
The Stug was supposedly a simpler cheaper vehicle? No wonder the Sherman was a war winning tank, even if it had a multibank.
If the parts weren't right you should have had them remade until they _were_ right.
Lower. Seat and back more legs stretched would make. More sense. Cause. It would. Then up over legs and. In front of.Knees
If this was a later Stug maybe the crew were kids or women….ie 1945 when hitler was forcing civilians to fight
workship ?? lol who didnt spell check lol
