    Thanks chaps.... once again I'm fascinated by a bloke working on bits of metal that I had no idea existed until 20 or so minutes ago. The team make this so accessible and engaging... thanks all.

    Beau is an artist...but instead of paintbrushes, his tools are a blowtorch, hammer & a multitude of other hand & power tools. ...& Kurt makes it a viewing masterpiece with his film work & narratives.
    Cheers Lads 👍

    As usual, Aus Armour proves how entertaining taking apart rusted steel gizmos can be! Especially if they have historical provenence. Beau and Kurt also show us how a genuine friendship can make media content so much more pleasant to watch.

    The best thing I've learned from watching the WW videos is how effective heat from a torch is for loosening parts that have been rusted and stuck together for decades. What looks like unusable lumps of rusty metal are often saved and restored. Great stuff!

    Patience makes perfect. Beau's patience at teasing the bolts loose, and re-assembling the parts so all of them move, is a credit to his years of experience. And for the most part using all the original bits, too.

    that makes me smile, it doesn't just happen to me, i am forever frustrated at stupid jobs like this, and it never amazes me that such small parts play an important part in keeping larger things together
    i often find jobs such as this take several attempts, knocking pins out, getting drills stuck, punches, you drive a pin 7/8 the way out, just for the punch to get stuck, as you try to remove it breaks, the pin falls out, but the piece of punch or drill takes even more effort to remove
    amazing work boyz

    Y'all are genuinely Blessed to have such a talented young man willing to apply his talents refurbishing whatever is thrown his way.
    Guard him close as others will want his talents for their own shops.
    Amazing what skills the engineers, and craftsmen the Germans had.
    Imagine if they had real leadership with the intelligence, and motivation the craftsmen, and all the others in manufacturing had how things might have changed.
    Probably wouldn't have had the madness that was the trademark of the one's following Hitler surely.
    Nor would they had aspersions to take over the world either i wouldn't think.

    For me it’s always amazing to see how even small parts of classic army vehicles are restored with a lot of eye for details as well as with love to work with metal. The more I watch your episodes the more I regret I never will be able to visit your museum and your fabulous restoration team. At the other hand I’m grateful that I can follow your vlogs so I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

Love watching these videos and this one was a great way to start my day. I ate my breakfast, kicked back in the chair and enjoyed this very much! As others have said, what a great way to start the day. Thank you! Keep up the invaluable work guys! You all are appreciated so much.

    It's still amazes me that people still go out there and search for World War II parts from the battlefields of World War II.

    You guys show what Museum Restoration really involves. I applied for a job in the National Army Museum in the very early 70's in London. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful as I was just out of college, and not even semi-skilled at that stage. That is the reason I watch your videos. You show what I have been missing all this time. I did become an engineer/mechanic and got to work on some really interesting tractors and other equipment to not so high requirements as museum standard. I would love to help you guys out on a regular basis but I'm now 69yrs old, disabled by so long in rough engineering that I can't walk(back, knees and the rest) & stuck in rural England. I can watch and imagine myself taking on some of the tasks you get to play with, and love every minute of the videos. Keep up the excellent work, you are true Museum Class Restorers of the highest order. and should be lauded as such. Thanks for the work you do, and I look forward to watching your travails and triumphs in the future.
