i am 100% down for the "Kurt goes to tank driving school" episode

When I see engineering skills like this I still have faith in this country. Why have we lost our manufacturing industries. Its not too late to fix this and train the youngsters. Respect for the ANZACS 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Wednesday night; wine, dinner and Workshop Wednesday, it’s the perfect date night!

That was fantastic to go to local machine shops and see their skill in connection with the boys @ at the museum. More local collaboration footage, please. Hope you're feeling better, Kurt :)

I love watching you guys doing your magic! Thanks from Germany!

Engineering at it's finest. I love watching skilled tradesman do their best.

Every week I wait for WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY, and I am always amazed at how the team do what they do! Daryl stated he marvels at the other shops skills. I marvel each WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY, If I knew how I would nominate you all for an OBE. Cheers

Hey. Whether you are sick or not. If you can talk. You can still say Workshop Wednesday! And it’s amazing how you’ve progressed to where you’ve made the announcement a bit! Love it!!!

When I see a 57 Chevy go down the street, I don't think about the drive train only the beauty of the car. If I owned a 57 Chevy I would rather a Resto mode with disc brakes, electronic ignition, and all the things that make a car safe on today's highways. A great running Panzer 1 is the same thing.

5 AM here in Virginia. I am watching WSW, what a way to start the day! You always amaze me, with your skills and dedication!👍

This is one of my favorite shows on KZfaq. Excellent crew and interesting subject matter

As usual Aus Armour never disappoints with their in house engineering and fabrication capabilities. It’s also good to see the same engineering capabilities are alive and well in Cairns FNQ too. Tomorrow is of course a very important day for us Aussies and our Kiwi cousins, Anzac Day. For me I had:- * One Grandfather serve in the Boer War in South Africa, circa 1899-1902 (wounded and survived) * One Grandfather who was an original Anzac, served in the 2nd Battalion AIF at Gallipoli 1915 (wounded and survived) * Father, 2nd AIF, served in WWII * Numerous Uncles (4) served in the AIF during WWII too * Mother worked in a factory towards the end of WWII packing parachutes Lest We Forget....

Come on, Kurt-man up and drive one!! What an opportunity and with support from good folks. It is great to see how you all get along and work together.

It's Wennnnsdaaay !! , get well soon mate

Far too short, but that is always the case, beautiful work again from these gentlemen. Greetings from the Netherlands.

As always, the boys never disappoint in the quality of their work...FIRST CLASS.

Beautiful work. Seriously impressive. “Just another Workshop Wednesday”. To the tune of ‘Manic Monday’ with apologies to ‘The Bangles’

Thank you letting u’s be a part of your project, you guys are just amazing, its a reel treet to Watch ❤

If I were looking for someone to custom fabricate heavy duty springs or ANY component that will take abuse, that Gentleman at the Blacksmith/ Spring shop looks to be EXACTLY who you want to be undertaking that take. Absolute no nonsense workhorse with the brawn of an iron worker, and mind of an engineer. I would be willing to bet good money that he had seen, done, and built bigger and better shit in his life than I ever will! 😅👍

Get Kurt to drive and have Jess hold the camera! Great series, consummate professionals working on museum masterpieces. In Australia no less? What is not to like? Northern Engineering's machine work was excellent. Fascinating to watch. Thanks Aus Armour.

When the cellos kicked in early I got tripped out. "What that's it??!".

I’m planning a trip over to Cairns to visit your museum (I’m in Western Australia). Your museum has incredible reviews on Trip Advisor and Google. So many people from around the world amazed at how large the collection is, how friendly everyone is, and how great the tour guides are (I may have read this incorrectly, but it appears that the tour guides are often volunteers and used to serve on tanks in the Aus Army). A few comments say you can spend more than one day there and a standard ticket gives you entry for three days. It’s unbelievable that a privately owned museum is this good.

You lucky buggers have my dream job, thanks so much for all your work, you lucky lucky bastards.

I'm as impressed with all the gorgeous machine work on the idler axle as Darryl is. What a thing of beauty that is! Such beautiful work, it's like youse are building a brand new Panzer I! Thumbs up!

Is there nothing you blokes can do , your engineering knowledge is out standing , and Jessie you made me laugh when you said that you left the calculations to the brainy people, I love watching you all rebuilding and restoring 80 and 90 year old vehicles until I found you on KZfaq I didn’t know you existed since then I have watched every episode at least twice and some up to ten times thank you so much for sharing your stories and knowledge, best wishes from Tassie

Every week we see what I call miraculous toolmaking and engineering. This is proof that Australians can make things despite what the politicions and media say. Well done fellows. Look forward to next weeks show.

"We don't wanna go loose, do we ?" Meanwhile nylon barely touches the bolts haha. Good job guys

This will be fantastic running and driving, a tank you could put almost anyone in the seat and let them drive at ARMORFEST ! What a thrill!😂

You cant start without the workshop Wednes-day!!!

I am constantly amazed at the skills and ingenuity you gents use in these restorations. My Wednesdays aren't complete without these weekly episodes. Keep up the good work!

Another great video mates. Daz great job on the track tensioner. Beautiful workmanship. The hydraulic drive will be better than attempting to find and rebuild a transmission and transfer system.

13:35 Lol you gotta love it….how are you powering your Panzer I tank? “Ahhh mate we just pulled the engine outta mi Hilux, works a treat!” 😂 It’s like Mad Max IRL! 😂

another magical moment 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

V. impressed with the hydraulics. I would never have thought of that.

Some bloody clever engineering going on right there. OK so its hydraulic drive? So what? Better than not driving I say. Props to all who got those parts worked out, made and then fitted.

That is outstanding, having components made in-house and locally. This will be an awesome addition to your fleet of running vehicles.👍🏻🇦🇺

As a former Joiner and now an elderly Pensioner, I am so impressed by seeing "Real Craftsmen" do their jobs to perfection. As a Dane I would have loved to be able to visit this Collection, but my major travelling days are sadly gone! And on a Tank made for Exhibition and eventual small time action outside, I can't see that modern additions to make it less difficult to operate, is of any problem!! Only a very few would have been able to see what's different from the original. Finn. Denmark

To me, this things is the Better parte of my day, i love constroptions and Restaurentions, of Vehicles ww2, planes and Guns..keeping the History live, congrats from Brasil...always the best Works... best wiches for yours Team.. sorry about my poor English😂

The work done by the The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum is simply extraordinary but a shout out to those at Spring & Blacksmithing, Northern Engineering and local (unnamed) hydraulics guy for their contributions to this fantastic Panzer I (of a kind..😉) restoration!

Absolutely beautiful fitment techniques guys! Perfectly lubed threads, beautifully machined and designed parts. A real treat to watch🎉

Well done boys

Awesome work, love the spline cutting, havent seen that before. Also love the rattle gun orchestra which is the tune of every workshop.

The ultimate model build, 1:1 😎Good job!

Love the teeny tillers!

That was absolutely brilliant.

Brilliant work - and no complaints from me about your approach or methods.

Bloody hell the skills of all these people are crazy. Love it. Have a good ANZAC DAY.

What a great start to Wednesday Morning. You guys put out some brilliant content. Your innovative approach to restoration and rebuilds are amazing. Not just engineers but artists too. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing. Hope you feel better soon Curt.

This youtube channel is a favourite of mine. You guys really are amazing with what you know and do. My grandfather was in north Africa+ with the 4th london yeomanry ( sharpshooters) and its really interesting seeing what he was up against. All the best from the UK! Looking forward to next week's installment.

Always worth watching, your vehicles, up to you how you restore and power them, personally I'd prefer them as original, but I understand sometimes that's not possible. Get well soon Kurt.👍

If U.S. tank production ever falters I hope we get the Aussies to fill in! Amazing mechanical abilities!

Fantastic Job Boys! Really Excellent work my Dudes!

I just shake my head at the ingenuity of these tradesmen. Amazing.

The work on this vehicle so far has been amazing, up to your usual high standards. A bit disappointing that the Panzer I won't have a real steering differential and manual transmission but I understand that sourcing original parts would be prohibitively expensive and finding a modern substitute would be difficult to say the least. It'll be great to see it up and running. 👍

Good to see the puzzle coming to life. Well done to crew and all 'subs' that pitch in.

Resto mod PANZER , LOVE IT !!

Amazing work and designs to make the tank function again and maybe even better than original too... Thumbs Up!

What an incredible team you guys have! Always looking forward to workshop Wednesday, to see those talented guys working! Kurt your xommentary and filming is really nice too! Well done 👍🏻

I hope you get well soon. Working well sick is rough. Thanks, I look forward to Workshop Wednesdays. The music came in way early so I was like "Noooooooo I just started watching" but there was another 10 minutes or so.

Always an Outstanding video and presentation.

A wonderful episode guys! So much good work going on for this vehicle. Daryl and Jesse are experts at this stuff and Daryl's lathe work is really good, especially for a carpenter! Keep up the good work guys. Looking forward to the next episode. And Kirk, get better soon mate!

Much Respect for Everyone's incredible skills ! I think schools around the world need to bring back shop class !!! Have a great day at the museum !!! 🇺🇲 - - 🇦🇺

The amount of thought, expertise and care evident in every single video.

Thanks AAAM. =)

Those hydraulic motors are tiny to offer such torque and power to run a tank! You're also lucky having such engineering firms in a small city like Cairns. I wouldnt be able to locate similar suppliers in the east of England! Bonza job boys!

Kurt sorry to hear you’re not doing well. But I’ve got your intro and outro covered. Hi I am Kurt from oz armour, and welcome to workshop Wednesday. That will have to do for your weekly tank restoration fix. And we’ll see you on the next one.

Thank you guys for showing us the awesome restoration works every Wednesday ! 👍

Honestly, the hilux swapped pz1 is crazy. I love it

Amazing tech and machining going into this restoration. No matter the driveline, or hydraulics. It's a piece of history that will be driven and seen by all who enjoy military vehicles. Amazing skills by all who have had their hands on this machine. Top notch work. Remember what you started with. Can't wait til next Wednesday. See you Monday for Maintenance Monday. Please!!!

Driving that is going to be amazing fun!

Your closing words were spot on. Yes, purists will be annoyed that stuff is non original or modernised to be more serviceable. But the truth is this.. It is far better that the rare examples that have survived with original engines, gearboxes and aren't a mish mash of different marks or versions, spend their time preserved in museums for future generations, their task is to inform and educate rather than give rides to customers. They are way too precious for that. Thanks for another truly absorbing upload. 👍🏼

Amazing, restoring a Panzer 1 !

Just brilliant, loved watching it as always

The hydraulic motors ...so small but powerful. 😮

Artistry!

Great work guys.

Wow, superb video. Seeing the Northern Engineer work in action. Incredible. Perfect bit of merging by chance on the time lapse.

love the bits of the local shops added to the build. very cool

Really interesting work, having a hydraulic powertrain would greatly simplify the fabrication work you guys need to do. I'd love to see a video going more in depth into the transmission, being able to neutral steer would be fantastic lol. I'm a mech. engineer though not sure how many other people would be interested in such a thing.

Such craftsmanship!!! Superb!!!!

The problem solving, and the genius that goes into making new parts and adapting modern ones into a whole tank, is just awesome. Thanks for the wonderful videos. G'Day mates, from Texas.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Why this site doesn't have over 1 million subscribers is astounding.

Coming along nicely piece by piece. ❤️❤️

WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY, the highlight of my week.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Kurt… Everyone gets sick - but we appreciate your putting us high enough on your priority list to still put out our addiction videos🤠 Get well soon 🍺

Awesome build mates!

Truly phenomenal effort and attention to detail gents.. a great advert for those who you've outsourced work to.

Loving it.

Best job ever. I dream of working in a workshop like this. Non-repetitive and innovative work. Lots of interesting problems to solve and historical research on important pieces of history. I guess it must give great satisfaction too.

When an engineer does engineering it is amazing They are truly incredibly skilled people 👍👍

Nice to see you're using local businesses where possible.

Great work guys

It was very cool to see the machining process of those components

I would like to shout out to all the ANZACS out their living or those that gave their lives for on this special day

AWESOME you lot well done Cheers Rory

Still can’t believe the great workmanship you guys produce

Get well soon Kurt. Absolutely stunning job guys. Some beautiful work you should be really proud. 👏👏👏

Another great episode! Always look forward to Wednesday morning. I get my breakfast and watch the latest magic happen then off to my day. Of course it doesn't compare to the literal magic that you all do. It's very cool to see that you have other machine shops to help you with the parts that you don't have the tools for and still be able to keep moving forward. Please tell everyone to keep up the great work it really is a pleasure to be able to see such artistry and mastery of skills at work. Feel better Kurt and see you next Wednesday.
