You guys always make me think that I should join the local Men's Shed to learn wood and metal work from the old blokes there (clearly not at your skill range, but good enough for a starter). I'm a 38 year old guy and didn't have a dad around when I was young to show me how tools and building things worked. Now I'm in a phase where I really want to learn. I'm probably not going to restoring a Panzer anytime soon but one day 😉
You could meet some people at this school who share the same likes and spend time with them on projects learning... I learned all of my car skills with my friends I grew up with...
Kurt the part where it looked like Daryl was seeing red with the jack direction confusion along with the sound effects had me in stitches!!!😂Great work boys.
That took one hell of an engineering quest to get those springs made and manufactured to the correct spec. Then add all of Daryl's supreme engineering skill, to render the various parts, to connect the springs to the wheels (+ a bit of good olde fashioned tinkering, with a 4lb hammer), and it sits. Brilliant piece of work lads, simply nothing else to say. Thanks from UK.
Really enjoyed this episode thanks guys. I never fail to be amazed by your level of skill and Engineering abilities as I studied mechanical engineering as a young 16 year old. As a 58 year old man I really enjoy actually being in the workshop with you.
That was one rewarding Wednesday for Panzer 1. You could make the mud guard stock out of two sheets of aluminum. Cut one out in the pattern and weld it here and there on top of the other. Should be a 15-minute job for those guys, lol. Great video, Jersey Bill
Oh that's right it IS A panzer 1 'B'! Very cool! Great creation getting the suspension sorted! Superb job Darryl! It's still little though as far as tanks go, but should go nice & smoothly with the hydraulic controls. I'm currently building a 'Takom' brand 1/16 scale '1B'. Or the tracks for it I mean! The links are so good in this scale that I'm making brass plated steel track pins, & punching out little 1.6mm diameter by 0.5mm thick inner 'caps' to hold the pins in - 97 per side! I hope youse have less trouble than I'm having, gettin the tracks done. It's probly gunna take me nearly 2 weeks work just to finish the tracks! But they're gunna be real good, & all the wheels turn too, except the return rollers!
Hows Al? Looks like he's lost some weight. Hopefully sorted and back soon! A true craftsman that brings value to all he touches.,as do the rest of the team in complimentary ways. Looking forward to seeing him back on the tools.....And the next panzer ephisode
I just love the 'Old Skool' engineering employed on these restorations. Get these videos into every school and show kids looking for a career what engineering does. And the Up Means Down and Down Means Up part was a lesson in cantilevers. And communication ... 🤣🤣
This and the StuG project have been absolutely fascinating to watch as they've progressed. Amazing dedication and work you guys display every week, love it!
Iirc diamond pattern scale plate seem to fairly available in Europe and Asia with a bit of googling, though the bevel on proud bits of the pattern might not be exact its a closer fit than standard diamond tread plate. Place in Italy called Marcegaglia Carbon Steel seems to have a nice bit of diamond patterned steel sheet that might fit the bill, though not aluminum and the size of the debossed diamond might not be exact, still might be worth a look.
Amazing job guys. Considering the age of this vehicle, the amount of original parts is quite impressive. The work Darryl and the other guys have done to fill in the missing bits is incredible.
Mad. FNQ has as a Panzer I ! I saw the turret up there a few years ago, can't believe the dedication you guys have to turn it into an almost running vehicle. Looking forward to Oz Armour Fest!
Just awesome fabrication. The diamond plate looks fine. If the purists don't like it, let them find it. The fenders and latches are just top rate. Love watching you guys. Looking forward to fix it Friday with Steve......😊
I'm a car guy now and former WWII tank model builder. This is so enjoyable, and watching these enormous pry bars and sockets- I don't own anything over 1 1/8"! Very, very good work and good video production. Would love to come down and meet you fellers someday. Cheers
Out of all the stunning restoration projects you amazing gents, this one brought a tear to my eyes. The sheer rarity of this vehicle and its a runner makes it extra sweet and special.
Most of the original turrets were most likely scrapped by the Germans in WW2 when the remaining Panzer 1 chassis were converted to tracked artillary. Panzer 1s were basically training tanks pressed into frontline service. Original steel coffin on tracks. After the fall of France, withthdrawn rapidly from service.

Where theres a will theres a way. Just start something and use youtube for guidance
Go for it!
You could meet some people at this school who share the same likes and spend time with them on projects learning... I learned all of my car skills with my friends I grew up with...
Don't hesitate. Get to it today.
I learned some of my best skills from the 'ol geezers.
Don't hesitate man. You can even still go for a proper apprenticeship if you want. There's loads of people even in their 50s that change professions
Kurt the part where it looked like Daryl was seeing red with the jack direction confusion along with the sound effects had me in stitches!!!😂Great work boys.
Ron was definitely in the wrong on this one, not making himself clear on what he meant.
No, Ron said "you have got to go up". Quite clear instruction. He was one step ahead of Daryl.
@@falksyberg5624 I agree. He had already allowed for the pivot.

Love my workshop Wednesdays ❤
My brother-in-law is visiting the museum this week, my wife and I were there 6 years back and the place is beyond words, so much to see.
That took one hell of an engineering quest to get those springs made and manufactured to the correct spec. Then add all of Daryl's supreme engineering skill, to render the various parts, to connect the springs to the wheels (+ a bit of good olde fashioned tinkering, with a 4lb hammer), and it sits. Brilliant piece of work lads, simply nothing else to say. Thanks from UK.
Quite possibly the best show on TH-cam.
Great to see the Panzer I back on it's wheels, really looking forward to seeing it run
I love watching these old vehicle getting brought back to life
That turret looks mint.
The technology from 80 +years ago is amazing
I say that when I see Merlin, Griffin engines assembled and taken apart....
To see all that come together into a recognisable tank again is a sight to behold! Amazing work as always mates.
I have seen in Madrid one fully working Panzer I, and you feel like entering in a Time Machine.
Love seeing these old bits of historical kit bought back to life!. Nice one!.
top work on the Panzer 1 guys.
My 1 year anniversary of watching workshop Wednesday and aus armor!
What a gorgeous little armoured vehicle that Mk I tank is. Congratulations on your achievement so far. A unique addition to the collection.
Hell of a job gentlemen! Another great Workshop Wednesday.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So good to see Daryl again.
Really enjoyed this episode thanks guys. I never fail to be amazed by your level of skill and Engineering abilities as I studied mechanical engineering as a young 16 year old. As a 58 year old man I really enjoy actually being in the workshop with you.
Nice Job!
Why do I get the feeling Daryl is really looking forward to Jessie coming back? 🤔🤣
Great job lads.
I want to see you guys recreate a Panzer 38t.
You folks just got my Wednesday off to a good start. 😎
Great update and progress guys

What a fantastic work Darryl and the boys have made, orsome fabrication, impressive, good to see the boys again, I just love to see them work.
Because of work shop Wednesday, I now have the confidence to fix my bicycle.
Oh that's right it IS A panzer 1 'B'! Very cool! Great creation getting the suspension sorted! Superb job Darryl!

I love the restoration of old equipment whether it Military or even other old Machinery restored
to working order.
You blokes never ever cease to amaze me on taking nothing and making it into a piece of art.

THATS THE VERY BEST USE OF A BROOM I HAVE EVER SEEN. 😮😊
This and the StuG project have been absolutely fascinating to watch as they've progressed. Amazing dedication and work you guys display every week, love it!
Прекрасно! Идеальная работа. Молодцы!
Good to see Alan back in the shop!
Nice work men 💪👍😜
G'day to you again! Good onya Fellers, job well Done! Perth West Aust.
Fantastic. A bit of tension there and I’m not referring to the suspension! 😀

As allways great work again, thanks for showing
Amazing job guys. Considering the age of this vehicle, the amount of original parts is quite impressive. The work Darryl and the other guys have done to fill in the missing bits is incredible.
Great to see the progress, you've got a super team there, very talented.
Wow does it look complete; 23:22 Great job lads!
God that was satisfying seeing the complete superstructure standing free and rolling around
Wow! That's looking great guys!
Mad. FNQ has as a Panzer I !
I saw the turret up there a few years ago, can't believe the dedication you guys have to turn it into an almost running vehicle. Looking forward to Oz Armour Fest!
What you guys do is amazing, almost to the point of magical...
wow this little tin can will be beautiful to watch running! cant wait to see that!
Looking great guys..been hanging for some panzer updates
Wow. Beautiful. And a broom is always useful!
The word "Masterpiece" springs to mind.. So nice to see the progress, skill and craftsmanship that the team displays. :)
Double header...this and Mr Hewes....great.
I can't believe it fits all together, knowing how much this project resembles a Frankenstein.
Great work gents. Truly a rare tank when finished. Just love the videos…thanks so much for bringing us into the shop & sharing.
Just awesome fabrication. The diamond plate looks fine. If the purists don't like it, let them find it. The fenders and latches are just top rate. Love watching you guys. Looking forward to fix it Friday with Steve......😊
a panzer 1 is going to drive around in 2024! how amazing that aus armor worked a historic miracle!
wow, just wow....
Wow!!! Awsome everyone!!!!👏👏
Beautiful quality work. Thank you for the video .
You guys are bloody amazing if you can’t find it in your spares you make it I look forward to😊Wednesdays
Workshop Wednesday is the highlight of my week!
this channel makes my inner child so happy lol
I looked at the fit of that front glacis plate in awe… so good. Awesome work as always!
Da habt ihr mal wieder seeeehr gute Arbeit geleistet ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watching these guys shows to me their extream talent, please keep it up
brillo - nice work!
Boys, your talents and results are always superb. Keep up the great work!
I'm a car guy now and former WWII tank model builder. This is so enjoyable, and watching these enormous pry bars and sockets- I don't own anything over 1 1/8"! Very, very good work and good video production. Would love to come down and meet you fellers someday. Cheers
Really gives an idea how important a good suspension design is
So much work to put that little guy together!
I've been to this museum and I have to say it's world class
Outstanding video and presentation.
looking purrrfect.
Thanks Team, that Panzer1 is just amazing. Honestly Daryl needs an OBE, Cheers
Fantastic work!
Looking fantastic
shouldn't have put off watching this, it's amazing
Out of all the stunning restoration projects you amazing gents, this one brought a tear to my eyes. The sheer rarity of this vehicle and its a runner makes it extra sweet and special.
Congratulations guys, you have a mark 1.
Another outstanding video and presentation
So happy to watch custom build Panzer 1 back into life again ! 😊👍
the way Kurt announces what we are about to watch is just spot on! I feel like I've known Kurt my whole life 🤣👍👍👍👍
As always, Very impressive engineering from the team. Roll on next Wednesday. Can't wait!
Great progress!!!
awesome work lads, you should be proud
Another awesome workshop Wednesday at Australia Armour Museum
Excellent work.
It looks so good you blokes well done, another great WsW. Cheers RUSTY.
Finnaly guys. I love it❤❤
What a splendid bunch of blokes you are... Thousands of miles it might be, but my heart goes out to you. It's a bottoms up for you from Poland !
looking really neat guys
What an amazing job they have done with that little tank
Can’t wait to see it running
Excellent work as usual you guys are awesome
Fantastic!
