Any questions about this week's episode? ASK THEM HERE and we'll answer as many as we can in 60 seconds tomorrow!
When does a restoration become a recreation?
How long has everyone worked at the Museum ? And tell them My Gramps wasn't allowed to go War as he was a Blacksmith in Adelaide ( was leading Hand making 520 Steam Trains before the war ) making Bren Gun carriers and other Vehicles at the Woodville Holden Plant
Is it sad when you can’t get a hold of more original parts?
@@Rusty_Gold85 Essential workers suffered some horrendous actions from people who never understood. My Grandad was told he was not allowed to leave Australia due to a missing finger from a woodcutting accident. He ended up allowed to join a bulk petrol unit and was not allowed near combat. Then he experienced Darwin and ended up with a melted back that surely caused some upset when I asked what caused it. I never knew he was at Darwin until after he was gone. I was told that while he was on recovery leave, he was told off a few times for not being in uniform.
Does the boss usually deliver a part you didn’t have, that you’ve recreated already, often?
Really happy to see Al doing well and in high spirits. Project is coming along amazingly.
That is a sign of a great restoration project. An original turret section, fits right into your new work! Always amazed at your research and dedication!
absolutely!
There's something hypnotic about jess's welds, so perfect 😍
Did spot you there.
I am not surprised that the last minute piece for the turret fit right in. The other new made sections of the turret look right at home with the 90 year old piece. Great job Darryl, Jono and Jesse. Great to see Al back and in good spirits.
As a kid in the 60's and 70's I spent many hours building kits of these vehicles. I am so glad to see you bringing these vehicles back to life, even if it is as a static display. It is amazing that you can still find parts after all of these years. But then I keep seeing videos of groups pulling AFVs out of the swamps and rivers and buried in the ground. Keep up all of the good work breathing new life into these pieces of history.
Over too soon. It's always great to get your morning fix of Workshop Wednesday. Fabulous job guys!
Kudos to the cameraman and editor for the welding montage at the end - that was awesome!
That is awesome to see Al on the mend best wishes to you and speedy recovery.
What a collection of artists you’ve got there they are truly a treasure.
This vehicle is going to be so cool.
It's so great finding that original turret panel, and it's the most interesting panel of the turret. A plain panel just sits there - but the vision port is interacted with, looked out, manipulated. Since a plain panel is most useful for cutting other shapes out of, they didn't survive, but the vision port made that panel (while the most interesting) not suitable for re-use by some farmer looking for steel and so it survived. It might be only 1/10th of the turret ring, but it's 1/2 the history. :) And it took the turret status from being a modern fabrication, to being a restored part. :D
Nice to see Alan back. Nice job guys
Excellent episode, thank you. I had a 1/35 Tamiya model that I made up of one these in about 1976 !
Me too around 1972
This is incredible, it's like building scale models but real size.
I really value your work and I am very envious of Australia for having such wonderful people.👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
I love it how you guys pronounce the Panzerbüchse. 😀
It is certainly not an easy word for native English speakers. in German it sounds like its written Panzerbüxe.
I love the work you do and can't wait for Wednesday each weak.
Those old blokes more than pull their weight. Will be good to see Al back on the job.
And a chippie MIG welding and turning metal.
You can just about build one of these from scratch now. A 4wd chassis and fab another body.
Getting all those critical measurement in Poland was a gamechanger. And it seems Beau got them very correct as it just lays together. Working with other museums makes life so much easier. And probably long term quite a deal cheaper as well.
Lot of hard going on there, but you guys make it look easy! Thank you for sharing!
Your episodes need to be longer! I was completely mesmerized by the welding and restoration that I was depressed when it stopped.
Great work from Daryl, Jesse and Jono . Well done guys and than you Kurt for sharing the video.
Nice to see Graham is enjoying himself, he’s a great bloke.
Liked the welding shots at the end
I am so pleased for the museum and graham that you have given him a job
I can’t wait till next years tank fest when I come back again and say hello to him and you kirt 👍👍
Happy Wednesday!
The same to you! :)
Brilliant job lads. This is a testament to how carefully Beau did the measurements on Dimitri's turret in Poland that the new panels fit together so well ! Hats off to you all Gentlemen. And to Al, rest yourself until you feel right as rain mate!
Another example of high quality work,well done gents.
My Wednesday is not complete without my workshop fix. Great job, boys!
Excellent video thank you for sharing.
I love that press! What a machine!
Good to see Al back up and "active".
It's a great testament that you can declare receiving a NEW OLD part, and it fits in on the 1st try. The 221 is taking shape quickly.
As for the colour, it's a prewar vehicle.... So Panzer Gray, with those very large white Balkenkreuz.... With or without the 1940 black infill
Great work, Lads. It's going to look a million dollars when it's finished! 👍😎🇦🇺
I volunteer at the American Heritage Museum and getting to sit inside their Sdkfz 222 was quite an experience. Can’t wait to see the final result with the 221.
Welcome back Al great to see you in high spirits and raring to go
I am excited about the work on the turret, and that you managed to get an original part in it! Love what you are doing!
Great episode, I’m so glad Al is “ Restored” he is missed and a huge shout out to Darry and Jonno.
Awesome episode as usual, great to see Graham in the background
Great to see Al up and about!
Love the OG Cybertruck!
It definitely looks better.
Oh man, the jokes about the Deplorean write themselves in this context.
Shazam, I have it…when it comes time to make this one into a runner, make it electric! Up your’s Elon!😬⚡️
I was at the Museum Today !!! Such a great collection ...i enjoyed every minute . If you know where to look you can see the work being done in the workshop
It has been a while since we’ve seen a good old welding Timelapse! Amazing to see how you were able to fit in one of the original turret panels.
Now that was a phenomenal phinish 😁. Great track with that montage. That was hotter than the welding rod!!
Hello from Finland 👋 good video 👍
That panel looks brilliant on the turret!
The skill of these lads is always truly impressive.👍
its nice seeing original pieces fitted in with new stuff, lets ya know that it once was real and saw action.
Good morning from France
Fascinating as always.
Das Ist Gut
That welding was a joy to watch
Amazing! You Good Lads.. Enjoy the time....
Such AMAZING WORK thank you for the amazing effort!!!
Great work Johnno!
Nice work, love the back ground Tunes.
AmAZING DEtail the men are giving this old scout car. After seeing big tanks like the Lee and Grant and the Mark-4 panzer this vehicle seems so dainty. Well done!
It was nice to see Al! Shame he can't work on his baby anymore, but i hope he's taking it easy and recovering. Hopefully he'll come back and do more of his magic.
It's taking shape, great work as always 👍 😁
Amazing work! Especially with restoring that vintage armor plate.
nice job boyz - so nice to see something very well replicated, if not resurrected from such small parts, and measurements from other sources
can't thank you enoughfor sharing what you guys achieve
It's always good to see such a dedicated bunch of mates working together. Nice to see Al back in circulation, courtesy of Prof Frankenstein.😃
Speedy recovery AL. All the best mate
Another amazing video
I enjoyed this week, thanks for posting.
Awesome video.
Good to see they found parts for Al. Not always easy with classics.
Excellent restoration work, I really like your videos., CHEERS from Chile🇨🇱
It's great to see Al doing well. Keep strong, mate. All the best from a POME bastard in Krautland.
love it. we got to see all kinds of different work
You blokes are legends. One day soon I'm gonna do a pilgrimage to the AAA Museum
It's amazing exactly how small these were , I couldn't imagine how they rode and uncomfortable they were. Great job!
loved it , well done
You sure know how to weld ... Fantastic job again (as always) and I really like how you integrate these original pieces !!
Welcome back Al mate .. hope you're on the mend sir.
Coming on just fine!
Thanks, team, you never cease to amaze me with your skills and the quality of the work you turn out. Cheers
Cant wait till they build the top cages to the turret, great work gentleman.
Fantastic work guys.
Great background music during the turret weld as well as a great video.
Good to see Al and I hope his recovery continues to go well...
Great to see Al. Top video.
Nice seeing Al is doing good . The job looks awesome so far but wouldn't expect anything less from the lads . Love watching all the way in Guisborough UK 🇬🇧
Love the update as usual. Thanks for sharing this with us. #1 fan from Chattanooga TN, USA. 😊
That is so cool. I'm glad there was a piece of original turret plate to place on it.
The original part! And terrific re-creation work.
Awesome craftsmanship you guys display here !! 👌 really love to see this armored car being recreated 🤩 cheers mates ✌👍
Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice to see AL back in the game ✔️
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and insights with us 😊🎉
My favorite weekly video fix.
Wow. The original piece fitted almost exactly. Well done guys! It means that the non original parts where spot on size wise.
Awesome work fellas!
It’s interesting to see that one of your references is what appears to be the Hobby Boss 221 kit, which I have in my stash. I’m waiting to see what markings you will put on the restored 221, and I will build mine to match yours. You guys do such a great job-I look forward to Wednesdays for my “Workshop fix”! Thanks very much for your efforts!
GREAT work guys....PLEASE keep 'em coming!!
Loved how that original panel just slotted in.
Can’t beat watching a really good welder.
Wow guys! That turret! It surely must have been a tremendously complicated component to get right! All those angled plates!
And then to accurately replicate those angled plates & get them to fit together 'squarely'! You guys are legends!
This vehicle may end up being more work than some of the tanks youse have restored! - And it's not even a runner!
Nah, well done & congratulations to all who have participated in the restoration of this highly unique & rare vehicle! I am mightily impressed!
Great to see Al back on deck again to be involved in this job, after nearly having to have his head cut off the poor bugger! What the heck happened to him again to require his own 'turret' restoration?
TOP Shelf STUFF!
I didn't know this was a thing until Graham mentioned it on his channel. Great stuff. Subscribed.
Nice! Fitting in that original panel was a bit of additional work but it really worked out well. Thank you Aus Armour.
one of the things i have learned about German armor from back in the day was it was some of the toughest and strongest, but when it failed, it shatted instead of bending. so it was a double edge sword for tankers.
That was awesome! 😊
Love watching on my Wednesday morning.
Amazing work.
Great!
