Brilliant! Polish Engineers have an excellent and well-deserved reputation!

As someone now retired from a lifetime in mechanical production engineering, I found this a fascinating episode. Amazing work guys 👍

Proof that the engineering and production manufacture of Tigers was nothing short of an epic effort.

What a great series, those guys at Panzer Farm are amazing. Using totally up to date tech to bring these machines back to life ...wow

Wow, my mind is completely blown. Absolutely phenomenal work those guys are doing, can't believe such an operation could exist in our world!!

That's a tank restoration engineers wet dream right there! I could see it in Beau's eyes lol. Great episode Kirk. I'm sure you could edit up a single long ( like an hour lol ) episode of your visit to Panzer Farm, Poland and I'm pretty sure it would go down a storm with many, many views from all over the world.

Amazing, the guys at Panzer Farm take restoration to a whole new level. From a historic point of view, the amazing 3d renders of all the parts will be an incredible archive for future historians learning how these machines worked. When you think that we are down to just a handful of Tigers, with only one running, it means that once these parts (engines et al) are available, it will be possible to make several more operational. I was pleased to hear Daniel say that they are building some parts to order and some spares for stock. I am sure setting everything up for one production run, it is just as easy to make 10 as just one. It reminds me of when the Littlefield collection commissioned torsion bars for their Panther. They were able to team up with a group from England and make enough for multiple Panthers with spares in one production run. Smart, efficient and important to do for something so extremely specialized.

Wow, those guys have so much precision kit, I am in awe. The jigs and fixtures are works of art and the CAD, together with the CNC machinery, is awesome!

I am just blown away by your reporting on Panzer Farm. They are awesome!

What absolute legends. They are well on their way to make a tank that's been out of production for 80 years from scratch.

What a amazing posting! As a 72 year old - I’m quite “BLOWN AWAY” by what 3D scanning and CMC machines can do! And the trained professionals (humans) who are controlling the step by steps! Panzer Farm - you guy’s ROCK!!!

Being a cnc machinist and programer for 40 years until 6 years ago when I retired, totally impressed, can not believe how for it has come and I worked in a state of art company in the plastic mold industry, Totally impressed.

A M A Z I N G ! ! ! ! It's like Jurassic Park for tanks!!!! Can't wait for the next installment. Thank you.

WOW !! in fact, Scanning + 3D concept + a lot of Tigers fans all around the world ! and you can produced the "King" ! again....please reserve me one ! all my best wisches for final steps ! great ideas with moulding, I do same but in 1/6 scale process !! Good Luck Friends !

These guys are great! The effort they take to preserve history is next level.

Wow! To see modern technology being put to such use is just astounding. Many thanks for sharing this trip to Panzer Farm. Really exciting to see the prospect of another running Tiger 1 in the world. Already started saving my pennies for a trip in the future!

Hat's off once again to the Panzer Farm , what an extremely incredible team of knowledge they and their associates have ! I just wonder if anyone is documenting and making template's of the individual armor plates on these various tanks etc. , as it would be possible to produce exact copies of these rare machines in the near future , even from milder steel or aluminum , for others to enjoy ! Reproduction is a good idea , for all to enjoy ! Thanks again for all your professional , hard work guys !!! 👍

Panzer Farm is something beyond belief. What they are doing for the Panzer community will help the collector / museum to preserve working history and heritage for generations.

As a mechanical engineer type, this episode is my favorite. That Tiger I gear box with 1,200 parts is crazy complicated! That 3D scanning technology is pretty amazing. Just think, back when these things were made none of this technology existed and all the parts and castings were made with such precision! That'll be pretty awesome when you get that Tiger a runner... will be one of only a few in the world! Panzerfarm is a top notch outfit.

Absolutely amazing video, to see Panzer Farm using the scanning, 3d software, and the machining centres, so as to produce the cores for castings. Also the jigs they've made to allow production of assemblies, Inc gearbox oil manifold. Fantastic.

Brilliant work by those Poles. And their English is great, too!

What a wonderful episode. I’m just stunned. Great work.

I have an after school war gaming club that I am attempting to turn into a STEM focus as well. We are getting into 3D printing. My students and I are astounded by your content. This video is going to blow their minds.

It is amazing how much the 3D scanning tech has advanced in the last decade. About ten years ago my second cousin was in France scanning WWI cave carvings and other tunnel art so that they could be reproduced with high quality 3D prints. This allows museums to display these rare and unseen pieces of history to a wider public, as many of these WWI tunnels and caves are horrifically dangerous and inaccessible to ordinary people. The process back then was far more time-consuming and required precise set up and careful imagining using a fixed laser scanner, and the memory it took was immense, and often necessitated them to burn the images to Blu-ray discs for storage. The fact that they can render the parts with a handheld device so quickly is mind-blowing.

Transmission - an engineering marvel. And I noticed the comment “and our other clients.” With enough money, virtually no part for any machine (cars included) need ever be unobtainable. Thanks for the Polish edition.

A very humble team, yet an integral piece in the worldwide interest of keeping these pieces going. A steel wheel Tiger I would be an amazing addition to running history

WOW!!! Panzer Farm has taken up the mantle for every tank restoration outfit world wide😍🤠 A tip of the hat and a hearty “hell yea” to Panzer Farm!

Credible and believable.

This is so impressive. Educated, skilled, and dedicated people can work miracles.

Excellent work and a brilliant insight to the world of modern reverse engineering. When you combine this with the latest Additive Manufacturing techniques, it really is incredible the items we can reproduce relatively easily and affordably, at least in a small batch run. We have a lot of engineering capability right here in Cairns and as a Mechanical Engineer I've worked on very similar projects in the recent past, from 3D scan, to model, to optimisation/fine adjustment and prototype/batch manufacture. Always happy to lend a hand if the team need any help :) As an aside, it still blows my mind that Engineers in the 1930's designed such complex machines using only their wit, hand calculations and a set square. Truly incredible, and kudos to the team at Panzerfarm for bringing these marvels back to life.

The idea of "3" running Tiger I's Bovington French Tiger I Aus-Armor Tiger 1 In working/driving order: just amazing 😊😊 👍 👍

Thank you for an excellent video. Panzer Farm is an impressive operation. As a side note, I watched a video or two on the reproduction Tornado steam locomotive project in the UK. There was a young Polish engineer on the project who later set up her own engineering workshop and supplied precision machined components to the Tornado project.

At the rate these Polish geniuses are going, inside of 20 years you'll be able to email them and they'll just 3-D print an entire tank for you! Outstanding work!

Give these guys some matchsticks and sellotape, they could build a spaceship ;) . Fantastic what you guys achieve. These tanks in pieces is far more educational and interesting than a finished unit with nothing to see.

I’m sitting here in my kitchen watch this video so amazed by the expertise and skill of the guys in panzer farm. The look on Beau’s face reminds me of look on a child’s face when they open their presents on Christmas Morning.

Mark Felton said that a Jagpanzer is being restored to running condition in Australia. I wonder who would be doing that?????

and they have designed that all on paper 80 years ago, thats insane

Incredible! If you get your tiger rolling it will be only the second runner in the world!

I take my boys to air shows here in the U. S. A. Because you have to hear / feel these Great War birds to appreciate them. For the same reason - making tanks run and drive gives a level appreciation that’s impossible otherwise. Keep it up🤠😎

What a great calibration to make the Aussie Tiger run!! Eat your heart out Bovington,lol...

These videos are just amazing. Wish they were longer

Thanks Kurt, you and Beau must be in awe of the team at Panzer Farm. This series has been brilliant, but I have to wait 7 days for my next fix. I love Workshop Wednesdays. Cheers

Hello from Poland

THIS video is a treasure trove for the Die-Hard Armor Lover! What a Fabulous wealth of Drool-inducing tech details, 10 minutes worth(from about 6:30 to 16:30 in the video) of nothing but details of CNC work to duplicate a Tiger I Transmission gearbox. Holy BUCKETS, fellas, this is IT!

Absolutely amazing! I must say I've also thought the Polish to be very smart and resourceful.

Kolejny ciekawy odcinek. Okazuje się, że można ożywić te uśpione Mastodonty 😊. Tego życzę ekipie z Australii 👍. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱

Welcomw to Poland m8s! :) I hope you had a great time here :)

After watching a few of these videos, especially the ones of enthusiasts in Poland, a country that really suffered during the war under German occupation, I asked my mum, who was there and lived through it all, and came through it though only just at times... I asked her what were her thoughts of these machines as they came through her city, some to stay? Her reply was a simple, "We tried not to get shot at or killed and got out of the way!" She added that she didn't spend much time admiring the engineering of the vehicles. I guess you had to be there to fully appreciate that point!

I had the privilege to go to the museum and do a tour last weekend. Stunning is hardly the word! I definitely will come up again from Melbourne to see and learn more. Thanks for everything!

Technology is badass!! So are you!!!

Been looking for this vid for a month, finally found it. Love to see more remanufacturing or at least parts of other tanks.

May God keep the Polish guys from Panzer Farm and you healthy for many years to come! For us it will be a blessing as well, we will see a lot of rare vehicles alive once again! Keep up the great job you are doing! Greetings from Romania!

Cant wait till they build a full on tiger. Thats insane.

Dziekuje ❤

Polak potrafi :-)

This is so great. Since kid I was always thinking: "If we have all the cool technologies better quality materials etc. Why can't people do some reverse engineering and make new spare parts for the old tanks like tiger" And you just announced that! It's like either you reading my mind or I'm reading yours. Amazing video.

What an absolutely phenomenal setup, the amount of work and effort that goes into the reconstruction of these historic vehicles is amazing , for both of you to have the chance to visit and experience how the Polish team are set up , thank you so very much for sharing this amazing journey

Great work and giving the opportunity of Tiger tanks in museums to become mobile once more...Fascinating engineering. Thank you for sharing.

Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous

Amazing the Team at Panzer Farm, so impressive the work they are doing at reverse engineering and new documentation not to mention production of new part, restoration jobs around the world should get alot easier for alot of people Great Video, thank you for showing us this amazing place and people running it

My god this is a dream job for a machinist, fabricator or engineer

This is quite a professional industrial enterprise.... Not some rinky dink garage. Very impressed with the lads in Poland.

These Guys are the real deal when it comes to manufacturing components and using the latest computer laser comparater ,This is most interesting to me after working in a CNC machine shop for Years and Knowing how tight the tolerances are

God I love workshop Wednesday!

They're restoring a King Tiger in Switzerland too, it's gonna be in running condition, those guys there are magicians

These guys do great work. Very impressed. My thoughts on these parts in the war. No wonder the germans lost the war. Waaaaaaaay overly complicated

absolutely insane that it takes so much to replicate these things in modern times and they did this all by hand over 80 years ago....

Was für ein wahnsinnige Aufwand. Aber es lohnt sich.

What a bunch of awesome dedicated engineers they are. You have to go back again Kurt, looked like you barely scratched the surface.

Wow the Panzer farm guys are really awesome. All the Aus armour vehicles will be runners

Although the german panzers are symbols of oppression and instruments of an utterly criminal state, I admire these polish guys for their workmanship

Absolutely mind-blowing. These guys are so talented

The complexity of these German tanks and armoured vehicles amazes me. No wonder they couldn’t make enough and were out produced by the Allies.

That you might have a running Tiger 1 in 2-3 years is awesome.

I AM HYPED THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL!!

It's amazing what they can replicate know. Hopefully with what panzer farm are doing more tanks and vehicles can be save an brought back to life.

I would think the Tank Museum in Bovington, would be very interested in getting spare parts, especially for Tiger 131.

Man I can't wait to see the Tiger running!!! Please not years, but weeks.

Wow what an amazing outfit panzer farm is! Thanks for sharing these videos could watch them all day long. Exciting times ahead with the ability to source these once extinct parts 😀👍

Sweet! Another running Tiger I

Just commenting to boost the algorithm as this video diservs more views

Just amazing tech to recreate these tiger tank parts. So amazing, hope you have yours running soon.

4:30 I feel like they shoud be casting their own company ID and the current year in their parts!

It’s amazing with 3-D printing can do and scanning existing hardware to make blueprints in a few years I’ll head to Australia hopefully by then your panzer will be a runner so I can see it at armor fest 🇺🇸

I'm tempted to ask Panzerfarm to whip me up a brand new Tiger. What a great place with really great people who know their stuff, thanks Aus Armour for highlighting such a cool shop!

I can't wait to see a new Tiger going back on the road with both original and new parts. For sure the gearbox was a state of art in that period so complicated it was not to mention all the rest. Really a good job 👍👍👍

Beautiful Tiger in Australia ! But it miss some zimmerit ! All late Tigers had that !!!

It must be remembered that although there was incredible technological progress during World War II, many of these iconic engines and mechanisms had some drawbacks. That's why later models and modifications were created. There were also production limitations resulting from both technical limitations and the economics of war - saving materials. The Tiger engine also had flaws. Modern tank engines have also been modified for many years, and it turns out that they are reaching the end of their development capabilities and something new has to be designed. Greetings from Poland.

You could scan a whole tank and make it.......amazing!

Excited to one day have a second running Tiger, especially in summer camouflage.

I always knew these guys where up too something mind blowing!!

Well, that will be running Tiger I number 2 or 3. The tankmuseum in France (in Saumur) has started restoration of their Tiger I as well!!! I wunder, will they use the Haynes handbook Tiger I? That handbook was the result of the cooperation between Haynes and Bovinton tank museum. A great present for Christmas???

Great video I watch every Wednesday

Truly amazing technology here, it's almost like watching magic. I'm not old by any means and can remember rooms filled by draftsmen sat at their drawing tables working hard all day long. Now all of that is about as relevant as a steam locomotive. Damn, this is like watching magic by comparison. On the negative side, I was shocked to hear that the environmentalists have made it impossible to operate a steel foundry in most of Europe and Australia. What the hell are we doing ? No wonder everything cast is coming from China and India. We sold our soul to save what exactly? This channel is the best thing on KZfaq, makes Wednesday worth waiting for. 👍🏼

I ❤ Panzer Farm can they adopt me ? 😂

It was very nice for me, to see designing with my former work tool, CATIA-V5. 😊 We use it for tool design in Automotive, also all the machining takes me back to my time as a toolmaker, I am very happy, that nowadays we work together with polish factories in tool making, they are also on the top, like Italian, or German ones.

Workshop Wednesdays are the highpoint of my week. As a military surplus collector I am thrilled to see the great steps being taken to not only preserve and restore, but to also document the processes for those that follow. So much trade and industrial knowledge has been lost to history, but seeing efforts like this in motion is a true joy! Thank you all!

Panzer Farm is wild!!! This is fantastic. Someday, there will be even more running Tigers!!!

Scanning old parts to produce new was in test at Major NW aircraft company back in the early 1990's, first part they made from scan was the cracked tail wheel hub for a B-17!

Thank you to both aus armor and panzer farm for your passion in preserving history. It's one thing to read about and see pics,but to stand in front of these iron giants and witness them in action is truly sensational.
