you and me both Kurt once you drive a piece of iron you will be hooked. Ive driven everything from a D8 (when I was a kid) to a M113 A1 and the A2 plus a M577 and M1IP when I was a tanker. this was 30 plus years ago and I still love it. I love the steering and drive motor set up you have fabed together simple reliable set up and easy to maintain. Well done gents

Really, who turns down an opportunity to drive a tank!

When I see engineering skills like this I still have faith in this country. Why have we lost our manufacturing industries. Its not too late to fix this and train the youngsters. Respect for the ANZACS 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

It's the same as here in the UK.... China has undercut every price by paying very little to skilled people.

Mate they don't want apprentices tgey want University Graduates Hundred's to tell you HOW TO DO IT BIT NO ONE TO ACTUALLY DO THE JOB Apprentices should go back to Grade 10 15 years old as it was at 15 they still live at home and pay board NOT RENT Easyer to live .And they should receive $20,000 at the completion of each year either as a top-up of wage or go into an account they can't touch until they Graduate from their Trade giving them a great deposit for a house at 19 years old And an Employer gets Tax benefits for each Apprentice they employ for each year

Same story in Germany. The so called „German engineering“, that‘s the past. Presence is: „My kid has to study and has to be a banker“. Kid will say: „I want to be a influencer, with my own KZread or TicToc channel.

Here in the States I look forward to my Wednesday early morning coffee while watching the incredible restoration work.

This will be fantastic running and driving, a tank you could put almost anyone in the seat and let them drive at ARMORFEST ! What a thrill!😂

That was fantastic to go to local machine shops and see their skill in connection with the boys @ at the museum. More local collaboration footage, please. Hope you're feeling better, Kurt :)

When I see a 57 Chevy go down the street, I don't think about the drive train only the beauty of the car. If I owned a 57 Chevy I would rather a Resto mode with disc brakes, electronic ignition, and all the things that make a car safe on today's highways. A great running Panzer 1 is the same thing. JerseyBill from the States.

I love watching you guys doing your magic! Thanks from Germany!

Is there nothing you blokes can do , your engineering knowledge is out standing , and Jessie you made me laugh when you said that you left the calculations to the brainy people, I love watching you all rebuilding and restoring 80 and 90 year old vehicles until I found you on KZread I didn’t know you existed since then I have watched every episode at least twice and some up to ten times thank you so much for sharing your stories and knowledge, best wishes from Tassie

Engineering at it's finest. I love watching skilled tradesman do their best.

As usual Aus Armour never disappoints with their in house engineering and fabrication capabilities. It’s also good to see the same engineering capabilities are alive and well in Cairns FNQ too. Tomorrow is of course a very important day for us Aussies and our Kiwi cousins, Anzac Day. For me I had:- * One Grandfather serve in the Boer War in South Africa, circa 1899-1902 (wounded and survived) * One Grandfather who was an original Anzac, served in the 2nd Battalion AIF at Gallipoli 1915 (wounded and survived) * Father, 2nd AIF, served in WWII * Numerous Uncles (4) served in the AIF during WWII too * Mother worked in a factory towards the end of WWII packing parachutes Lest We Forget....

You lucky buggers have my dream job, thanks so much for all your work, you lucky lucky bastards.

Every week I wait for WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY, and I am always amazed at how the team do what they do! Daryl stated he marvels at the other shops skills. I marvel each WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY, If I knew how I would nominate you all for an OBE. Cheers

It's Wennnnsdaaay !! , get well soon mate

5 AM here in Virginia. I am watching WSW, what a way to start the day! You always amaze me, with your skills and dedication!👍

This is one of my favorite shows on KZread. Excellent crew and interesting subject matter

I’m planning a trip over to Cairns to visit your museum (I’m in Western Australia). Your museum has incredible reviews on Trip Advisor and Google. So many people from around the world amazed at how large the collection is, how friendly everyone is, and how great the tour guides are (I may have read this incorrectly, but it appears that the tour guides are often volunteers and used to serve on tanks in the Aus Army). A few comments say you can spend more than one day there and a standard ticket gives you entry for three days. It’s unbelievable that a privately owned museum is this good.

Far too short, but that is always the case, beautiful work again from these gentlemen. Greetings from the Netherlands.

13:35 Lol you gotta love it….how are you powering your Panzer I tank? “Ahhh mate we just pulled the engine outta mi Hilux, works a treat!” 😂 It’s like Mad Max IRL! 😂

As always, the boys never disappoint in the quality of their work...FIRST CLASS.

Hey. Whether you are sick or not. If you can talk. You can still say Workshop Wednesday! And it’s amazing how you’ve progressed to where you’ve made the announcement a bit! Love it!!!

Beautiful work. Seriously impressive. “Just another Workshop Wednesday”. To the tune of ‘Manic Monday’ with apologies to ‘The Bangles’

Every week we see what I call miraculous toolmaking and engineering. This is proof that Australians can make things despite what the politicions and media say. Well done fellows. Look forward to next weeks show.

I noticed that.😅

Come on, Kurt-man up and drive one!! What an opportunity and with support from good folks. It is great to see how you all get along and work together.

V. impressed with the hydraulics. I would never have thought of that.

As a former Joiner and now an elderly Pensioner, I am so impressed by seeing "Real Craftsmen" do their jobs to perfection. As a Dane I would have loved to be able to visit this Collection, but my major travelling days are sadly gone! And on a Tank made for Exhibition and eventual small time action outside, I can't see that modern additions to make it less difficult to operate, is of any problem!! Only a very few would have been able to see what's different from the original. Finn. Denmark

I'm as impressed with all the gorgeous machine work on the idler axle as Darryl is. What a thing of beauty that is! Such beautiful work, it's like youse are building a brand new Panzer I! Thumbs up!

Love the teeny tillers!

To me, this things is the Better parte of my day, i love constroptions and Restaurentions, of Vehicles ww2, planes and Guns..keeping the History live, congrats from Brasil...always the best Works... best wiches for yours Team.. sorry about my poor English😂

The work on this vehicle so far has been amazing, up to your usual high standards. A bit disappointing that the Panzer I won't have a real steering differential and manual transmission but I understand that sourcing original parts would be prohibitively expensive and finding a modern substitute would be difficult to say the least. It'll be great to see it up and running. 👍

Thanks AAAM. =)

This youtube channel is a favourite of mine. You guys really are amazing with what you know and do. My grandfather was in north Africa+ with the 4th london yeomanry ( sharpshooters) and its really interesting seeing what he was up against. All the best from the UK! Looking forward to next week's installment.

Those hydraulic motors are tiny to offer such torque and power to run a tank! You're also lucky having such engineering firms in a small city like Cairns. I wouldnt be able to locate similar suppliers in the east of England! Bonza job boys!

You cant start without the workshop Wednes-day!!!

That was absolutely brilliant.

Some bloody clever engineering going on right there. OK so its hydraulic drive? So what? Better than not driving I say. Props to all who got those parts worked out, made and then fitted.

Kurt sorry to hear you’re not doing well. But I’ve got your intro and outro covered. Hi I am Kurt from oz armour, and welcome to workshop Wednesday. That will have to do for your weekly tank restoration fix. And we’ll see you on the next one.

Get Kurt to drive and have Jess hold the camera! Great series, consummate professionals working on museum masterpieces. In Australia no less? What is not to like? Northern Engineering's machine work was excellent. Fascinating to watch. Thanks Aus Armour.

Resto mod PANZER , LOVE IT !!

Absolutely beautiful fitment techniques guys! Perfectly lubed threads, beautifully machined and designed parts. A real treat to watch🎉

Awesome work, love the spline cutting, havent seen that before. Also love the rattle gun orchestra which is the tune of every workshop.

another magical moment 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

That is outstanding, having components made in-house and locally. This will be an awesome addition to your fleet of running vehicles.👍🏻🇦🇺

The hydraulic motors ...so small but powerful. 😮

The ultimate model build, 1:1 😎Good job!

Honestly, the hilux swapped pz1 is crazy. I love it

When the cellos kicked in early I got tripped out. "What that's it??!".

Always worth watching, your vehicles, up to you how you restore and power them, personally I'd prefer them as original, but I understand sometimes that's not possible. Get well soon Kurt.👍

Well done boys

What a great start to Wednesday Morning. You guys put out some brilliant content. Your innovative approach to restoration and rebuilds are amazing. Not just engineers but artists too. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing. Hope you feel better soon Curt.

The work done by the The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum is simply extraordinary but a shout out to those at Spring & Blacksmithing, Northern Engineering and local (unnamed) hydraulics guy for their contributions to this fantastic Panzer I (of a kind..😉) restoration!

Brilliant work - and no complaints from me about your approach or methods.

Artistry!

Bloody hell the skills of all these people are crazy. Love it. Have a good ANZAC DAY.

I am constantly amazed at the skills and ingenuity you gents use in these restorations. My Wednesdays aren't complete without these weekly episodes. Keep up the good work!

love the bits of the local shops added to the build. very cool

Driving that is going to be amazing fun!

Amazing work and designs to make the tank function again and maybe even better than original too... Thumbs Up!

I would like to shout out to all the ANZACS out their living or those that gave their lives for on this special day

Fantastic Job Boys! Really Excellent work my Dudes!

Always an Outstanding video and presentation.

Really interesting work, having a hydraulic powertrain would greatly simplify the fabrication work you guys need to do. I'd love to see a video going more in depth into the transmission, being able to neutral steer would be fantastic lol. I'm a mech. engineer though not sure how many other people would be interested in such a thing.

Great work guys.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Such craftsmanship!!! Superb!!!!

What an incredible team you guys have! Always looking forward to workshop Wednesday, to see those talented guys working! Kurt your xommentary and filming is really nice too! Well done 👍🏻

Amazing, restoring a Panzer 1 !

I just shake my head at the ingenuity of these tradesmen. Amazing.

I hope you get well soon. Working well sick is rough. Thanks, I look forward to Workshop Wednesdays. The music came in way early so I was like "Noooooooo I just started watching" but there was another 10 minutes or so.

Good to see the puzzle coming to life. Well done to crew and all 'subs' that pitch in.

Now that they’ve cracked how to make many of these parts, I can’t wait to order my own replica Panzer I! After a brief lookup of the dimensions, I found it’ll fit in my garage. ;-)

Coming along nicely piece by piece. ❤️❤️

If U.S. tank production ever falters I hope we get the Aussies to fill in! Amazing mechanical abilities!

Thank you guys for showing us the awesome restoration works every Wednesday ! 👍

Loving it.

The amount of thought, expertise and care evident in every single video.

Wow, superb video. Seeing the Northern Engineer work in action. Incredible. Perfect bit of merging by chance on the time lapse.

18:45 i'm not. I think it will be great to drive WHICH ultimately is very important because this needs to be seen. Dead history is that, dead. It's just a piece of metal that doesn't do anything. But if you saw it move, it sticks with you. This is valid in every facet. I've just as much respect for you guys putting this to function (with the hydraulics) as i do around the guys restoring big boy locomotives in US to OG spec and original steam (from scratch made) boilers. What counts is the outcome. The outcome is to be seen. Best thing i can support this sentiment is this, saw some WW1 guns during my childhood at a mountain side castle. Visited recently, felt they were added after the fact, asked the curator, got told they'd been there for way longer than i'd visited. I simply forgot about them. But i saw a colonial era cannon being shot and i recall it perfectly, because they shot the thing (not full tilt 1800's gun, old and retired) but i got to see it cycle on its mount and smelled the powder. That, is the key factor and why i'm perfectly ok with hydraulics. Just my 2 cents.

It was very cool to see the machining process of those components

Nice to see you're using local businesses where possible.

I know 'naff all' about engineering but love watching this place at work, and those Two tiny motors gonna power a Tank -SERIOUSLY ?.

Your closing words were spot on. Yes, purists will be annoyed that stuff is non original or modernised to be more serviceable. But the truth is this.. It is far better that the rare examples that have survived with original engines, gearboxes and aren't a mish mash of different marks or versions, spend their time preserved in museums for future generations, their task is to inform and educate rather than give rides to customers. They are way too precious for that. Thanks for another truly absorbing upload. 👍🏼

Much Respect for Everyone's incredible skills ! I think schools around the world need to bring back shop class !!! Have a great day at the museum !!! 🇺🇲 - - 🇦🇺

Great work guys

AWESOME you lot well done Cheers Rory

Truly phenomenal effort and attention to detail gents.. a great advert for those who you've outsourced work to.

When an engineer does engineering it is amazing They are truly incredibly skilled people 👍👍

WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY, the highlight of my week.

Come on Kurt , have a crack at driving one. I would like to see that. Nice job guys, all the pieces coming together

Bloody good.

I love the work you folks are doing. Love Wednesdays!!

Awesome build mates!

Excellent work chaps.

The problem solving, and the genius that goes into making new parts and adapting modern ones into a whole tank, is just awesome. Thanks for the wonderful videos. G'Day mates, from Texas.

17:28 prolly already in the design, given how detailed this build is, but if it isn't, should add a hefty tensioner bolt to "rest" on the moving plate (the carriage) and push it to tension the chains. I'd go with a thicc boy, no kill like overkill.

Why this site doesn't have over 1 million subscribers is astounding.

A wonderful episode guys! So much good work going on for this vehicle. Daryl and Jesse are experts at this stuff and Daryl's lathe work is really good, especially for a carpenter! Keep up the good work guys. Looking forward to the next episode. And Kirk, get better soon mate!

Beautiful work...

I am amazed at the skill of all involved in these videos
