- TAKE 2 🤦♂️
The StuG III G Transmission needs a lot of work and is on the back burner for now....
Meanwhile, Beau has, after over 12 months, finally finished the suspension and is at last dropping it on its wheels - putting the torsion bars (new and old) to the ultimate test!
We also test fit the refurbished brakes and drive line linkages!
Follow the progress of our restorations every Workshop Wednesday! 😱

Lying in bed with several broken bones... This keeps me sane. Cheers guys!
Are you heterosexual
Go to Australia. They can put everything back together again. Best wishes
Get well soon! Same here with covid. No broken bones.
Get well soon !
Hope you recover quickly and well.
Kurt, you've got a great sense of humor. Hang in there, they need you.
Well, considering he is the museums owners son, I do not think he is going anywhere.
@@user-ll4lf5go1mI didn't know that. It's nice to see an instance where nepotism didn't screw up an operation. Kurt rocks.
I love the outtakes at the end; because, for all of us who are one-man production teams on TH-cam, you've validated we're not the only one with a script stuffed in our back pocket whilst shooting dozens upon dozens of takes to get it just right. Thanks for demonstrating we're not machines. 📽 🤓
I agree I think Kurt does great maybe it would be simpler to show drone shots of inside and outside of museum while he reads his introduction. We don’t need to see him every time we know how handsome he is .
It's always nice to be mentioned in an Aus Armour video.
Indeed
Even though it was about 5:00 AM EST when the video dropped, I perked right up when your name was mentioned...."Did AusArmor just mention Adam Mann?? Cool!" They definitely consulted the right guy about Stugs.
I was thinking at the beginning - Kurt is back up to full strength, but seeing his outtakes we can understanding why there's a workshop video only once per week !!! Ha Ha - excellent progress Beau and Glen and good to see Kurt almost back to 100% !!
Should we do a full video of outtakes?! 😅
@@ausarmour Yes
@@ausarmour Yes please!
@@ausarmour Absolutely, mate. and/.or start tagging in a few at the end of each one !! Good on ya!
I like the outtakes at the end like in this video. Surely, there can't be many. 😉
Thank you, Beau & Kurt, for another episode that has flown by. I truly feel part of the Stug project, having been here from the beginning. Witnessing its progress has been incredible. And that music-I dread it because it signals the end of my weekly indulgence. Cheers
12:05 - the venerable rubber whacker. No toolbox is complete without one.
I love Workshop Wednesdays. Out of all the millions of things in the Ewe Toob universe, it is something I really look forward to every week.
Such should be the primary present & right of passage tool for every boys 5th birthday?
IE: "Look, itsa HAMMER, but its made outta RUBBER, Watch...!BONK!...Ow!".......
I know very FEW grown men that cant recall that particular youthful episode &/or verification of technology presentation. The ones that cant recall such an event no doubt hit themselves TOO HARD....;)
@@creightonleerose582 I saw a 17 year old apprentice knock himself half out with a rubber mallet once. There were roars of laughter that day, except from him. He went home with an egg 😂
@@ray.shoesmith OMG?!..BaaaaaaHaHaHa!
"Apprentice" is certainly RIGHT eh?..Ha!
Guess he'd learned a valuable lesson that day?
I dunno how he'd survived early toddler-hood n' adolescence?!...Er,..Um,.....Hmm?....
Oh wait, -NOW I DO!...;)
Bet ya'allz had some fun with him?
"Please findeth me the pipe/paint-stretcher/Blinker fluid yee young man"...
Thanks for share/good laugh...;)
The outro clips are gold!
Yup just like Cutting Edge Engineering but without the f-bombs.
Workshop Wednesday's are simply just not long enough 😢 you guys just make it look so easy working on this old iron so you know it's not ! So much skill and knowledge, please make more video's or longer episodes 🙏 😊
Hour and a half should just about do it.
2 videos in one day, even if one was an old one 😂, awesome
love the outtakes .. you are human ;)
The dreaded music means the episode will be over too soon. Another great episode. Thank you.
Don't normally comment but I saw the first video drop which was replaced by this one. I got two Aus-armour videos today! Pretty happy! Also, loved the out-takes. Really love this channel, next time I'm in Cairns I'll definitely come n visit.
The sheer extent of young Beau's knowledge constantly amazes me. Lol poor Kurt needs a teleprompter I think🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
I'm not ashamed to admit I've developed a bit of a man crush on Beau. He'd be a great bloke to have a beer with.
Dude when you gunna do series 4?
I think a couple of pints in Dad would be a great story and joke night...
You should be ashamed.
Craig, you are a true star, bloopers galore.
We need a Cutting Edge Engineering Collaboration
Why?
They are more than 1,700km away from each other, It’s not just a quick 10min trip down the road for either of them, true?
Well it's not like you're asking Hewesy from the UK to drop in.
"F*&# Off Train ...errr ...ummm.....Firefly!"
Though I'm sure Homey could find lots to chew on
🤞🤞🤞🤞
Thank you Kurt for sharing your bloopers on the intro. Just shows you are human and not everything goes to plan, and you have a sense of humor and can laugh at yourself and share that laugh with the rest of us so again thank and all of you at the museum keep up the great work and look forward to next Wednesday for the last round.
I can agree with all the comments. At 54K views, Aus Armour is doing it right. Great work by all, as always, and Kurt, thanks brother for showing us what it takes to get such a quality result every week. I too dread hearing that the soothing music. Over too soon. Next week can't come soon enough. A great fix for the week. A retired Canuck, I could watch more, all day! But that would mean more editing time for Kurt, so I'll just be thankful for each week's episode we are blessed to see.
You know, thanks for the outtakes, because it shows that you put a ton of work into making the videos. But to be honest, you make it look easy from this side of the camera. Great job Aus Armor.
Love the outtakes!
I'm amazed how Beau got that corroded brake to work.
Amazing! the plumbing to remove the brake pad dust
Pretty cool/simple method to use the centrifugal force present within already existing parts to accomplish a secondary task. I wonder what the pad material was made from as to WW2 German tanks & AFV's?
-Prob Asbestos?...
In that case, YES, you'd DEF want such piped >> outtve >> the vehicle!...But still dangerous, as I cant see such a unique system capturing, collecting, containing & extracting 100% of the brake dust outtve the brake drum or crew compartment itself?....
It might help to write the intro on a white board and read from there? Just an idea.
Quite some engineering gone into those tanks although all tanks would have had similar working parts. Certainly kept an assembly line busy.
When I saw the rod end yoke had a notched shank I wondered if it was for a clevis pin spring clip, took a look and all the modern ones stop to the sides but never seem to reach around to where the notch is. Not saying that WW2 German vehicles didn't have them but Beau might be right about a safety clip for the nut although I can't say I've seen that before, but have seen two jam nuts used there and nylocks. I do enjoy AusArmour restoring these old vehicles and of course Kurt's camera work, with Many Thanks!
Aus Armor videos are one of the hi lights to my week. They’re such a joy to watch, and such a letdown when they end. The creativity, tradecraft, and historically informative content are amazing to witness. If I ever have the opportunity to visit Australia from the US, your museum and workshop are at the top of my bucket list. Thank you for the love of historical accuracy and preservation you put into all of your exhibits. You all are truly amazing.
Yippee! It's Wednesday and that means...................
Fantastic episode!. Love the bloopers, shows how much effort goes into these videos.
Just think all those linkages and levers were designed without computers and on paper drawings. Kinda mind boggling. Very cool to see it come together.
Thanks for adding that last bit Kurt. It hadn't occurred to me that you had a challenging job the way you edit your content. well done lad.
OMG that brake -dust- removal- system is amazing. Who would ever have thought of that?
Ze Germans!
All good, keep the out takes…
Effn learious!
‘Lot going on!
But it can all be played with inside the hull.
Great to watch you guys go at these projects..
Being a hyper literalist I chuckled at the term passenger side, I really loved the outtakes
Another great Episode, thanks Guys! Nice to hear that Evan McCallum and Adam Man shared some Information on the paintjob. They are great guy and knows their StuGs
Still liked the other one even though it was a repeat
Another fun watch! Thank you Kurt for putting these together and for filming the lads and all the hard work they do. I still marvel at, and am envious of, the lads being able to build and work on these awesome vehicles and equipment every day. My literal dream job. I truly love Wednesday's for being able to see the latest episode of AusArmor TV, aka Workshop Wednesday's. Keep up the great work lads! Can't wait for next week's episode.
'stralian adjustment: a hammer. LOL Beau at his best. Love that guy! Dimitry's a chad, too.
To Aussi Armour, i don't remember when that Stug was built but if it's built in 1944 or before, paint should be rotbraun basecoat, then dunkelgelb and then camouflauge pattern. After 1945, paint after basecoat it could only be dunkelgelb or dunkelgrün. And plus camouflage pattern colors
For quite some time, Kenworth trucks used torsion bar suspension on their prime movers. Known in the industry as "broom sticks" they had a heavy rating for GCM. It was possible for them to snap. There is a story that a truckie broke down in outback queensland, and had a friend fly out a new torsion bar in a cessna..........but there was nowhere to land. So his friend threw the torsion bar out the plane at low altitude near the broken down truck.
This is one of the few things I look forward to every week, and Workshop Wednesday makes it worth it.
I look forward to this every Wednesday!
I love this channel and my wife loves your Australian accent. The attention to detail assembling these monster of vehicles is truly amazing. We really enjoyed the bloopers segment also
Those out-takes were absolutely HILARIOUS, I spat my coffee out laughing so much! I love all the work that you guys are doing. Also, adding that little snippet at the end, makes us love all you guys so much more!!
Video production ain't easy. Love your work 👍
Hi Kurt. It would be fascinating to see an entire video on tires for the tank bogies and wheels. How they are sourced, created and installed.
Omg! The bloopers at the end!! I'm dying . So funny Kurt, definitely keep adding those at the end of each vid!!!
Fantastic craftsmanship & progress!
As a retired photographer I have recorded thousands and thousands of stand-up's and I
just told reporters to remember 2 or 3 points and to BS the rest. It generally helps the editor
if there is a pause between takes and what you are doing is not natural so you are doing
a good job.
Similar sort of throttle linkage to that which I had in my old '61 Land Rover. No cables or drive by wire there, it was a series of cranks and rods from the peddle to the carb.
I only figured out something was up with the last one when he got to "muffler shop" lmao
such interesting engineering decisions they made back 80/90 years ago compared to how we think and design today love these videos
So then the Stug was easier and cheaper to build . . . Looking at your fantastic job ( twice today ) it doesn't look that easy . I love to look at your fantastic job on all these 80 years old vehicles . Thank you for sharing . Cheers from Belgium .
Good morning from Virginia! One more great video, they are just to short!!! Curtis you gave your secrete away. We thought these videos were a one take breeze. Beau, you make the most complicated workings on a Stug sound simple. Big round of applause for Dmitri and his planning ahead on parts ordering!!!!
The best videos on youtube . Thanks guys.😊
I love Workshop Wednesday. Your staff does amazing work, and the subject mater is so cool.
Good video. Looking forward to seeing it again next week...
Love the blooper reel. Needed to crack a smile this morning and you gave it to me, along with the great StugIII content. Thanks.
Cant wait to get to AusArmourfest this year. Great work as alwayays fellas.
Thanks for my Stug fix! Gotta love German engineering... love the bloopers at the end lol
A good bit of thought has gone into those brakes. Being inside the crew compartment, there would be a danger of asbestos brake shoe material contaminating the atmosphere, but they fitted extractor fans to get rid of the dust. Very neat idea.
Great work on the brakes. Bo or Beau surely is a craftsman. For a Ginger. Never knew he was a curly haired Ginger. He has the skills of one of the Dwarf Blacksmiths of Asgard. He does do what seems to be magic work sometimes. Does he have engineering training, or does he have a natural eye for spacial mechanics. I noticed Dez has similar skills for figuring things out also. Your whole staff seems to be very talented in their own niches. It is a pleasure to watch people knowing what they are doing.
After this project take a run down to Brisbane and look up Jade Blair.
This is Kurt......👍 Beau does the Job😉
Thanks for another great video! LOVE the outtakes!😂😂
I so much enjoy watching everyone working to put these old armor items back in working order. Keep it up.
The struggle is real Kurt!!.😂😂😂😂👍👍
You've been watch a little bit of kurtis Cutting Edge Engineering for your edition skills 😅
Another Great update and work. It's amazing to see the work you do and the workings of the Stug.
Ft. Benning is now Ft. Moore
i LOVE workshop wednesday
Looks like you used my old 80s speaker stands to support the Stug! 🤣🤣
I would have thought those holes in the brake shoes and the 'exhaust' ducting setup would have been more for forced brake cooling rather than dust extraction?
Brakes are lined with asbestos
German engineering never ceases to amaze me.
Nice work! thanks
Well done ,chaps. What skill and determination 🤓
AWESOME! BEST SHOW ON TH-cam!! This makes my Wednesday!
Kurt, your outtakes are hilarious!
Love your work guys. Thanks.
You have to wonder how they originally decided to use so many moving parts. It's as if they had a build requirement, and then fit it in around what was already designed.
I am sure it was more technical than that, but looks at these legacies we have.
You all are an inspiration, I am making a 1/2 scale Stug out of wood and powered by a gocart engine. I was going to do a Tiger, however could not fund good drawings. So a Stug it was.
Chaps, this is a bit like Vice Grip Garage. “This Stug has been in a swamp for seventy years…….will it run and drive 300 miles home to Cairns?” The clue was in the Craigslist rebuild with spraycan.
Great, yet again. my 2 fav channels are you (putting things together) and "Idocars" which is a guy tearing engines down. Love it!
Excellent work shop wednesday
C'mon Kurt! Stick to the script!!
Thanks for another great video!!!
Paráda,mám vás rád.Aleš,Plzeň,Česká republika.
the break shoes what are they made of take care. wonderful vlog great work your team outstanding
Bo is priceless. 🙂
Kurt, your blooper real was hilarious, keep up the great work
Keep at it Kurt. You're doing great !
Love the out takes at the end. Keep up the great work, Kurt from Oz Armor!
Ending - the best off the start😂
Found the site by accident guys, and found it great as I have a 1/16 ssacale kit to build of the Stuggi.No interior unfortunatly but it will have a full gun assembly and command equipment. They were one of the most numerious of the german armour over the more common names like Panzer & Tiger.
You dont have a series on the Sdkfz 251D by any chance.? I have a 1/16 scale with full interior engine etc on the blocks after the Stug to build. Great to see it being restored.👍
Love the out takes at the end and just shows how hard it is. Ive been there and done that and its not easy. great work as always guys.
What a wonderful job.
That's not employment, it's a dream come true !
Working out the genius behind the design, to find what is missing and how it should've worked.
What a divine mixture of skills, Renovation, Restoration, fabrication and a detective story !
Thanks for 22 minutes of pure escapism.👍🏼
It's what Wednesdays were made for.🤔
All these episodes are brilliant! Historians of the future are going to love all the dedication you all show.
Been following this video series since day 1. Lovew it. Keep up the good work, lads.
Loved the outtakes , lets you know it isnt as easy as you think .
As usual, excellent video. Hope those drums will stand the use they're going to get, they look a bit "cheesy", mind you I wouldn't want to have to build a new set of backplates for them either. Thanks as always, From UK.
Cue cards fellas.
good job guys thanks for the effort so far
Love the blooper reel
Kirk you are a true professional....👌
