I look forward to every episode. I am an ex army truck mechanic from the cold war days. Wish you weren't so far away. I'd love to volunteer my time off to helping breath life into bringing history back to life!
As a former electric arc welder i can appreciate the welding you have done to put this STUG together i always enjoy watching the reconstruction /restoration/ preservation call it what you like i would just love making things like these. I hate real wars, but some times the machines of war can be fascinating things. I wish that all there destructive potential was confined to battle field theory and the world would not get involved in real wars anymore. Well that my personal perspective on the subject. Everyone comes from a different point of view.
Great job mates! I love the metal fabrication. I'm hoping there will be video's on rebuilding/restoring the mechanicals like the engine, trans and drive train! Stay cool and safe! Cheers
As a machinist millwright I'm in awe with the way you guys are tackling this project, spot on. I really wish I was there to machine the bits and bobs for this epic endeavor, (yeah I'm jealous). Hats off to you lads and all the best, cheers!!
I helped restore a Soviet made SU-76 that had been left out in the elements for 50 years but it was "factory fresh" compared to your Stug. Great job! Watching your video reminded me to get some welding done on the floor of our Suka we were able to get a prisoner from the local brig released during the daytime to do the work. The museum at Quantico Virginia was on a starvation budget so the use of a brig rat was a good expedient. I sure don't miss the racket of a needle gun though. Merry Christmas guys.
I've been a motor transport technician and classic car restorer for 35 years, and you are still teaching me new techniques. I look forward to your workshop wednesdays every week. The tiger tank series was amazing. Your workshop guys have great skills, what you have managed to do with completely blown up tanks is nearly unbelievable.
This is something you do not because you like it.You do it because you love it and it's what you do.There is a difference. Years of work and patience.Finally its watching a child walk for the first time....in 80 yrs when it moves.
I started watching with the 1st episode. As I sit and watch this vlog, I ponder as to what the men, in Germany 1939 -1944 would think, if they could see their work being "brought back to life"?
Hi all . I have been restoring classic cars for about 35 years. So i get the workmanship that go,s into these project. I noticed you guys still use stone grinding wheels. I the pass few years i switch to a 36 grit flap disk. I find they cut and clean the weld much faster. Something you my want to give a try . Keep up the good content and work.
She's coming together! I really look forward to this series every week. 2022 is already off to a great start knowing I will be able to watch this Stug come together. Thanks! 😃
great insight to the restoration of a tank that most may run away from - but hats off to Beau n dad for the electric gluing back together - super job - it beggars belief that these monsters were mass produced on scale never seen before WWII - the logistics and production must of been off the charts, manufacturing the steel, delivery to manufacturer, cutting and assembly - i can't imagine all the forced labour of the 1940s, it must of been so hard on everyone - bless them all
i love the restoration videos you guys bring out, specially like the STUG III videos since its really rebuilding it from the ground up. I hope to someday be able to visit the museum when i visit Australia. greetings from the netherlands
So incredible watching the pile of bits slowly get rejoined. Such a huge amount of metal and crazy amount of welding rods. I was trying to count them at one time, but there are so many, as I am sure you know - a crazy job. Awesome of you to share, thanks.
So many times you see restorations after the finished product is made. This makes you appreciate how much hard work, blood, sweat and tears go into making what remains into what they were originally.
I am loving these videos, Thank You soo much for making them. I am a HUGE WWII history buff and being able to see the tanks brought back to life by you guys is so awesome. I wish I could come see them in person. =D
Workshop Wednesday is the best day of the week.. Truly some thing to look forward to. I just love how you put all the pieces back together again. Thanks guys. Just hope over the next year there will be lots more and even more of these videos. I can't wait.
I like the way you engineered a wedge to get the alignment you wanted . I couldnt stop gawking on how you are labouring at the process . Have a great Xmas
Classic with that plate springing back. All the fun of the circus, eh! Great work, as always, guys. 🙂 Thank you for your dedication to preserving history.
This is fascinating to watch. They are amazing craftsmen. However, I would love to see more video. 26 minutes is such a tease when I know there are hundreds of hours of work. MORE MORE MORE
@@razor1uk610 Maybe they used the explosives from the HE rounds for the demolition charges. Or the vehicle was out of ammunition, or a friendly unit was nearby and the crew got as much ammunition out to give to the others. Or maybe they didn't and the ammo was shredded to pieces and scattered over a surrounding area. There are multiple scenarios that explain that.
My Father was REME for many years on A vehicles and I see his skills with a hammer are still being used to good effect. He always said "Big ammer lad, dont force it". He was an artist with the handraulic knockometer!. Great Videos and many thanks.
So great to watch Stg coming together step by step !. You can tell this Stg is one of a very late model from the shape of front towing point.🤔 Can't wait next Wednesday !😆
Unbelievable. When most people don't know how to change a tap washer, the skills on show here are astounding. Great to see so much smiling in the videos!
You guys have unbelievable skills! The amount of work it takes to do what you guys are doing isn't really appreciated enough! Before retiring I used to build crawler cranes for Tadano Mantis here in the US, and I know how hard fabrication can be. But to take the original pieces and salvage as much as you do is just incredible!! Love your videos, keep them coming!
Such a great series, loving these restoration posts. 👌 I'm really fascinated by watching some of the hard work and ingenuity that goes into bringing such a vehicle back to life, very well done indeed! 👏 As an aside, great presentation in all of your posts with great editing and music, very thoughtfully produced.
Hey Guys, Loving the Stug build, my favourite German tank of WW2. Your workmanship and skills are amazing and I can't wait to visit your collection. Cheers and merrry xmas.
You are doing a great job welding and reuniting broken parts of the StuG III that had been blown up. Please keep on doing this way! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
🤣🤣🤣 Beau’s eye roll when he heard they’d have to press the plate back again. Priceless
Looking like a Stug now! How fun to get to rebuild tanks with your dad. Awesome job. I think I singed my eyeballs watching all that welding tho. 🤩🤩
Miracle workers would be an understatement!
Super job bringing the StuG III back to life.Love the videos.
Wow, one of the best Workshop Wednesday's I've watched, the patience and detail, makes me want to make a Stug out of scrap...awesome
I look forward to every episode. I am an ex army truck mechanic from the cold war days. Wish you weren't so far away. I'd love to volunteer my time off to helping breath life into bringing history back to life!
Fantastic craftsmanship I enjoy seeing people who are as picky about metal work as I am!

I noticed the music volume is much lower, Thanks for that! Much more enjoyable watch and a longer VID for an added bonus. Great series thank you.
Another Outstanding video and presentation. I hope you fine folks in Australia are rid of your tyrannical government in 2022. Freedom!
Great job mates! I love the metal fabrication. I'm hoping there will be video's on rebuilding/restoring the mechanicals like the engine, trans and drive train!
Stay cool and safe!
Cheers
Loving this build series 😎 'StuG Life'
As a machinist millwright I'm in awe with the way you guys are tackling this project, spot on. I really wish I was there to machine the bits and bobs for this epic endeavor, (yeah I'm jealous).
Hats off to you lads and all the best, cheers!!
Top quality tradesmanship coupled with a quality video presentation.
The only thing better than seeing a Stug come back to life is seeing the hard work and skill required to bring it back to life. Well done.

“Stug”spelled backwards is “guts”, which is what you lads have in abundance... well done!
Guts must be "something that u get" in this line of work.
Nicely said lad!

The quality of the workmanship is demonstrated when trying to mate the original sections together.
Incredibly impressive attention to detail!
Looking good guys.... KEEP UP the GREAT WORK!!!!

Brilliant stuff again! Keep it coming and the longer the better..
These videos documenting the work of the guys with the restoration are fascinating to watch, and I love them. Keep em coming please.
Your team shows great skill and a outstanding resolve to restore lost history. Job we done and I hope to see this vehicle fully restored.
Brilliant. One helluva job. I'll be there in February all things be equal.
Nice to see a good story and good news out of Auz your northern brother in 🇨🇦

Awesome work guys! I love it when a StuG comes together 👍
The regularity is awesome. Thanks guys.
Greetings from England. I'm really enjoying watching this series 😁👍
For me it seems like you'll be the best welding sticks customer in whole Australia 🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣 keep on going with your great work👍👍👍
Workshop Wednesday is the best day of the week.. Truly some thing to look forward to.
I just love how you put all the pieces back together again. Thanks guys.
Just hope over the next year there will be lots more and even more of these videos. I can't wait.
Great job and well done! Make it run again!
This segment has become a highlight of my viewing week. Looking forward to seeing the next progression.
I like the way you engineered a wedge to get the alignment you wanted . I couldnt stop gawking on how you are labouring at the process . Have a great Xmas
Finally I've seen this trick that my dad showed me 30 years ago. I was so happy to see that neat little piece of innovation used again.👍
Boiler makers use that all the time for band alignment on duct
Definitely a labor of love!
I love the Stug it was just such a perfect piece of engineering!
What a awesome job...it will be a perfect restored tank in some months
That's a lot of welding!
Great job!
Biggie and 2Pac are doing some great work there !
Another quality video presentation! Really look forward to coming home from work on wednesday night and tuning in!!!
Classic with that plate springing back. All the fun of the circus, eh! Great work, as always, guys. 🙂 Thank you for your dedication to preserving history.
Great series.
The music and the epic welding shots are not needed with the remarkable restorations you are showing.
Thanks for your fine videos .
A comment to feed the YT algorithm, keep up the great work and the great filming!
I love you guys, you have no idea how excited I get for workshop Wednesdays.
Looks great so far. And man, scraping old weld off looks Fing tedious. Good work guys.
Patience pays!
fantastic progress guys, cannot wait to one day head north to see them
As always, amazing stuff!!!
I could watch several hours of this...
Marvellous work . From the UK.
Keep up the good work and please keep the video's coming, would like to see all 3 finished in 2022 hopefully.
Nice Hetzer you've got in the background!
Fantastic job!!!
Absolutely love these episodes!
Thank you for the video documentation of the restoration. Thank you for preserving history. Looking forward to the next installment.
This is fascinating to watch. They are amazing craftsmen. However, I would love to see more video. 26 minutes is such a tease when I know there are hundreds of hours of work. MORE MORE MORE
Great progress 😎👍👍
Those Germans sure knew how to blow up their own vehicles, no way Uncle Joe was putting that one back into service!
Loving the longer videos btw
....why remove all of any remaining Grenate ammunition when prepping demolishion charges.

yeah , it's Wednesday again , keep up the good work , it's looking really good , slowly coming together
Great documentary, pls keep them comming!!! 👍 👍 👍
Man, i would love to ride in this bad boy when finished. So cool, the work that goes into preserving history here.
My Father was REME for many years on A vehicles and I see his skills with a hammer are still being used to good effect. He always said "Big ammer lad, dont force it". He was an artist with the handraulic knockometer!. Great Videos and many thanks.
Awesome work, looking great, keep going boys
That is a lot of hard work, and it does not go unappreciated. Excellent job
So great to watch Stg coming together step by step !. You can tell this Stg is one of a very late model from the shape of front towing point.🤔
Can't wait next Wednesday !😆
Simply fantastic. Merry Christmas.
Unbelievable. When most people don't know how to change a tap washer, the skills on show here are astounding.
Great to see so much smiling in the videos!
