These are the sort of films that should used at schools to enthuse young people about why engineering is needed and the satisfaction you get from being part of it. I started my engineering apprenticeship aged 16 in the '60 in the UK and while I had to go to Germany to work for a few years what I learned then is still with me now and used in my car restoration projects. Love the laid back understated comments. 'A bit of time' describes months of work showing the Aussies even outdo us Brits on that!

The mechanical aptitude, talent and ability displayed by these guys, to find "out of left field" solutions for the most difficult of problems, continues to amaze me with every new video. What a great crew, who look to thoroughly enjoy what they are doing every day of the week. 😀😁🤣😇

People who can fabricate like these fellows can will rule the world someday......

The skillset of the blokes in that workshop leaves me in awe.

Every Wednesday I wait for the next episode of Workshop Wednesday, and if you have read my comments, you know I love it. But your channel is the only one that I will rewatch episodes. They are not just entertaining, they are riveting. I am truly amazed how Daryl, Jess, and the team, work through problems and just do what they do so well. Even Kurt, organic face warmer aside, does an amazing job of asking the right questions for me, as I sit here in my office just mesmerized. I am planning a visit in the near future, and I am so so looking forward to that day. Thank you so much.

Darryl's tolerances are so tight the simple heat from welding can tighten or loosen the fit of the axle! Amazing accuracy!

This is always an issue with pins and bushes, in an industrial situation they would be machined to allow for line boring after welding has been completed BUT this is a whole different ball game.

The water cutter sequence was a thing of beauty. Besides, you lads should be proud of the quality of your machining and craftsmanship.--Bob Bailey in Maine, USA

It is incredible how 0,001 mm will throw off the allignment in this huge and crude machine. It really shows the amazing engineering of it

Oh come on! All we have time for! I could watch another 2hrs of this. Just so fascinating to watch the machine work and test fitting come together. So much work goes Into your restorations. Thank you for this video and hopefully another video on Friday, which will get me through the weekend until next Wednesday. Remember workshop Wednesdsy should be Monday to Friday.

This made my Wednesday. Little by little a Panzer I is reborn. Amazing.

Hey Guys I love your channel probably because i am an historian and tank lover but I just thought I would tell you that have a nice day

Do the boys ever stop and think how many generations are going to marvel at your amazing work. They may never know your name but it has to make everyone around you proud as can be. Kurt that goes for you also my friend, thanks for documenting all of this great work. One other thing thanks to whom ever is cutting the checks. Can’t wait til next week.

These blokes should be running the country. They can fix anything! Absolutely brilliant.

LOve Daz with the idler wheel axles..."There's a lot of filing and muckin' around to do yet" HA! love this!

Nice work gents! You know, Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering Aus. could line bore those housings post welding and they’d be dead-nuts.

Given that restoring and aligning worn/rusty drive shaft exit ports in tank hulls seems a fairly common occurrence perhaps you could knock up a long reamer or hone that would align the housing centres and make the job easier? No great cost involved and keeps it 'in house'. I was going to suggest Kurtis from CEE but take the point regards cost, you need to keep as much as possible 'in house' What I am suggesting is very low tech and simple to do, might even be quicker (and more accurate) that all the faffing about trying to correct weld distortion. Really good job non the less.

@asserssor1276 I was thinking the exact same thing about Kurtis doing it for them lol Daryl has made a pretty good job of designing and making all the parts, for a carpenter that is lol

Now that is actually very precise, nice! Many people don't know how easily things go out of alignment by fitting them where they are supposed to be, welding them, having weight in them. That is doing German engineering an honour, these guys are great!

Wellcome to Workshop Wensday, and it make this wendsday great again. Greatings from sunny Germany.

Beautiful work Daryl, the supreme test , making parts work where ,you don’t have an original . Great video those 2 guys are a dream team

Thanks so much for those videos, I know look forward for Wednesday mornings to watch them with a cup of coffee! All of you work really hard on those restorations and it's a pleasure to follow along.

A very hard day's work. We've had that problem assembling bucket eyes of a clam shell; shaft is binding as we weld it up. The solution was to bore the shaft holes on the eyes undersized then line bore the eyes to make sure shaft doesn't bind! It works!

Outstanding work by these guys. I love how they work together to make things look easy. I love watching every Wednesday. Bob mi.

This just gets better every week! I love watching these guys solve problems on the fly, with such precision, it's beautiful to watch. Thanks guys for all the wonderful work from UK.

Amazing Work !! Im a big fan. Greetings from Munich, Bavaria

I stayed up till 3 am to watch this. Hello from midwest USA!!

The amount and the quality of work that you all do to re-create and rebuild, this historically, relevant equipment is truly amazing!😊

Yeeha boi Cairns engineering firms getting it done!

Excellent as always, and I am glad this crew wasn't working for the other side. Now that I have had my tank fix, it's time for an undeserved morning nap. Already looking forward to next week.

Utterly brilliant guys! Nothing you can't achieve.. Thanks for all you do. See you next week!

I look forward to this every week! i'm going on vacation next week and will bring my laptop so I don't miss an episode! Good on you, Kurt!

Fantastic work. Impressiv. Already waiting for next episode. Thank you very much guys.

Not sure why anyone goes out of their way to dislike this... Who else in the world is working on a project like this?!

tanks for an epic episode - love seeing stuff being re-engineered - often you stand back and ask how it was made - Daryl is a wonder tank master at work

Hello, I'm "Kurt Fromausarmour" lol 👍🤣

It's amazing how relaxing and intriguing it is to watch these lads put their expertise to work on a pile of blasted, twisted steel and turn it into a functioning armored vehicle again. 👍👍👍

Thank you for stepping out and showing us how things are done at Cashcor Engineering. Would love to see what your outside contacts do and how do they do that.

Every time I watch another build video I'm blown away by what you all are able to accomplish. I've watched all your previous build vids and they are so good. Hello from the States and keep it up fellas!!

I love all the videos you post, if I can make a suggestion as a H&R instructor. I would suggest the next time you lift the Hull to flip it etc. pad your sharp corners. that way your continuous slings will have a less chance of cutting and causing them to lose their lifting ability, Once they are damaged you need to dispose of them. Safety first we all want to go home at the end of the day. I am also a museum volunteer here in Canada . and I always like to remind my friends at the museum. to do the same. Keep up the good work I can't wait to see the finished product.

Thinking, thinking, thinking. Perfect. The magic of carpentry.

Another great episode. Cashcor will be my go to place for tank sprockets from now on.👍

A big thank you to Kurk for his excellent commentary.

The music started and I thought, OH NO, its over already.... Can't wait for next Weds......

Testimony to what Talent, Money, and Desire can produce.

This is fascinating. I wish you could make these videos longer, maybe an hour or so. Thanks. 👌👌👍👍

This is some very fine work. A delight to observe while slogging away at a dumb keyboard for a living. I appreciate the video and fine narration. Thank you again Aus Armour.

wow its always a pleasure watch the lad's down under, yaeh i agree with other person who said they are to short. The crafts manship of the work that they do is more like ART then work. Its so good that musaems like this are keeping these machines going. watching WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY'S is far better then anything on '' normal televison'' and always look forward to watching.

There is no doubt about it you boys are the dogs ,, not to much info from the Gerry’s .work it all out yourselves I love it good work D. B.

Another wonderful glimpse in side Aus Armor!

Incredible dedication and engineering on display here. I love these videos and they never cease to impress me everytime when I see the passion you all put into resurrecting historical AFV's, vehicles and artillery pieces the way your superb team does.

Not enough Kurt! More footage please! Daryl you have made a bloody good job of those parts and they're designing, considering you're not trained in engineering but a carpenter. I too was trained in what a guy called John here in the UK who has a KZread channel called Doubleboost calls woodworking " Woodbutchery" lol but now exclusively work on my lathe /milling combination machine. That waterjet made sprocket looked awesome especially after it had been machined by the company. Looking forward to next week as usual guys?

I always like listening to Daryl's explanations

Great to see history being saved by these artists

Amazing. Didn't realize that garnets were in the water used for cutting. I learn new things every video on Workshop Wednesday. Thanks again !

Exquisite craftsmanship on display as always.

I did a project last year 1 hour south of Cairns in Innisfail, I was 35 hours drive from home working on a specialist water project for the Council I used Cashcor Engineering to roll 100x100x8mm aluminium angle for us, radius was perfect I highly recommend those guys and I find it awesome they work I. With the Australian Armour and Artillery meusem as I am massive fan of Armour!!!

Sup tank nerds? It's DUC again. What a pleasure it is to watch such masters of their craft work. (Including the video editor.) Was the water cutting really sped up 100 times? Especially hats off to Daz, who just designed a track tensioner that could be built in house. Amazing stuff, I could and have, watched Workshop Wednesdays for hours. As others have noticed when the music comes on I am "Nooooooooo!" but at least it lets us down easy. Already looking forward to next Wednesday.

excellent. I wake to a new episode. Bless you lads.

Gee the cash or water cutting was very interesting. I agree with the other comment about cutting-edge engineering. You need him up in Cairns lads. Hes not that far away, between Brissy and the Gold coast!

Excellent design work on the tensioner system Daryl..

Brilliant work. Thank you Daz, Jessie and Kurt.

Nice work!

Time to set up an endless Live Camera for those of us who cannot get enough. 😂😅. Kurt, then we will REALLY appreciate how you save us with your excellent editing skills. 😉

Dear Guys, It’s for me always fantastic to see how you realize restoration projects for classic army vehicles no matter if it has to do with a relatively simple Swimmwagen or with the complexity of a WW2 tank. You guys are masters in metalworking and machinery repairs. It was also very interesting to see a computerized waterjet steel-cut-machine working because for me this was the first time since I only have seen plasma cutting machines with such kind of jobs. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

As an ex-machinist (thanks, NAFTA🤕) these types of episodes are particulary interesting because I know what I'm looking at. Very nice work, Gentleman. Outstanding episode.

Awesome restoration work as always !. Precise location of those running gear must be crucial for best performance. Can't wait next update of this !.

Another amazing episode gents! Your dedication is amazing!

Very impressive creating parts from scratch and custom fitting them together.

Every Wednesday, I watch these videos, and it blows my mind. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and ability to get these old vehicles back to running condition is phenomenal

Love all that you do. I only wish your videos would be longer.

They need to get in touch with Curtis and CEE - Weld it all up and line bore it with the machine he has, removes all the worry about how warped it gets during welding.

As always, impressive fabrication skills!

Good job guys. Also a practical lesson to anyone ‘young and keen’ who might want to race ahead with assembly work.

Yu guys are absolutely amazing. Keeper on rebuilding such amazing Tanks

Now that's impressive!

Daryl deserves a makeover. Whilst he is designing and manufacturing parts for the tank, I would love to see him receive some optical and dental maintenance before AusArmour; he bloody deserves it!

Well done Daz! Not too shabby for a carpenter...

My Dad was a CNC Profile Burner operator in Rosyth Dockyard, The machine he used could use Acetylene, Plasma and be set up for water as well, his machine was huge made by a company called Messer Greischmann

Really enjoy watching these master craftsman at work

This amazing team just continues to blow all our minds every week, The amount of engineering going into manufacturing these parts in-house is awesome and a true credit to your whole team, hopefully this inspires younger people to get involved in these trades, visiting the museum in a couple of months from WA can’t wait 😀👍

That water jet is f%@kin awesome, what a job, nice work boys

Great update and ingenuity from Daryl and Jess. Well done!

Not only very competent but also inventive as well, I was thinking Clamping but these guys tacked and then used wedges, after initial mounting didn't give the required results. Very nice to see and pick up some of these guy's problem solving skills. Awesome entertainment.

Sweet engineering!

Cant wait for next week. Keep up the fantastic work

Work shop whennnnnssssssdayyyyyyiiieee

Can we fund a new tooth! Great video as always

What a great pair of engineers you have with you building this iconic little steel beast. Just love your work shop Wednesdays cheers ❤

You guys are one of the top 5 channels I wait for every week. Love it!

Always an outstanding video and presentation.

Seriously, those guys must have their Mk 1 Mod.0 eyeballs calibrated to the nth degree.. awesome work, all!

Brilliant,that vehicle is coming along nicely.

If there was ever another, Australian remake of the "A Team", turning a Toyota Tercel into an M1 Abrahams, these 2 are the men that can and will do it. Well done guys. Additional, seeing as you are, believe it or not, in Australia (Aus Armour), due to the heat that is often mentioned, i never hear or see a reference to Bearings in the Fridge for easier fitting. Any reason why?

Awesome!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Incredible skill all round. Absolute joy to watch. Great video, look forward to the next 1!

Just Brilliant mates ,until next week

Impressive!
