You know they’re good just from Beau wandering with a grin on his face! What a pool of skills and from Michaels comments about cast in Poland supporting more local industries too. Their museum will be well worth a trip when they get it going.

This place is on my bucket list now besides AAAM and a few others.

Thank you guys for restoring and saving history for all future generations! It's not about war and who's won what - it's about engineering at its finest for the periods that sadly was used for bad things. Saving history is about learning from the past, and if you're at the same time a bit of a tank aficionado like me and most of you here, then you're in for a treat watching our Aussie and Polish friends here! I only wish these videos were a couple hours each walking through the treasures at Panzerfarm, but every minute of it is awesome and I thank you for making the trip and the videos!

Wow, technology meets craftsmanship ... it looks like those chaps could rebuild a Tiger to be mechanically better than it was originally if they wanted to.

About 85 years ago, my ancestors unrightfully entered Poland and shamefully brought death and destruction, nowadays these guys from Panzerfarm as well as AusArmour restorate this technical stuff with absolute perfection. I hate the purpose, this machinery was made for, but I really enjoy and love the technical thing itsself. Thank you Panzerfarm and AusArmour for another wonderful vid.

Your ancestors were rightfully saving the lives of ethnic Germans who were being persecuted by the Bolsheiviks. You have been lied to by the victors, who write history. Be proud of your country and people. Even the US General Patton said; "We fought the wrong enemy." Germany fought with Christian honour!

When they said they might get their Tiger running one day, I thought they meant decades away. This is so cool. Imagine if we see it headlining Ausarmourfest in a few years.

That is one hell of a teaser to finish with...full working Tiger I with newly machined engine parts? Think that might just top the list of requests for Aus Armor Day!

The plus side is modern metalcasting and machining is far better so they will last way longer than factory stuff. Given the shortage of alloys and metals the germans faced during the war it is impressive some of the stuff they got built

It's really impressive how they combined ultra modern techniques like 3D scanning and printing with classic machinist skills to remake previously unreplaceable castings.

They really are the gatekeepers of history. Remanufactured parts and the efforts taken to deliver perfection

I will say it again, I just love Workshop Wednesday. Kurt & Beau, you both must have been drooling and smiling like children. I hope you took some shirts & caps for the Panzer Farm team. If it was me, I would be scoping one of their jackets. Great episode, Kurt your Polish is also incredible. Cheers

This show just gets better and better. This and last weeks episodes are awesome. Love how these Polish guys can turn out such high quality parts. Love this stuff!!!!

Greetings from Poland to enthusiasts from Australia

I’m glad to see a mixture of young and middle aged craftsmen working on these pieces of history I’ve heard that machinist are getting fewer and fewer but your videos give me hope.

Thanks. All you grease-stained people are the heroes of my childhood dreams. I'm 63, and now have tears in my eyes from seeing so much dedication, search for perfection, pleasure and satisfaction. Wow.

Those maybach engines were working so hard to push a tank that was usually 10-15 ton heavier than what they were spec’d for. That is so thin between the cylinders, no wonder they self ventilated so easy, aside from inexperienced drivers. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I'm surprised that they tried to make those V12 engines so small. I would suppose the newer tanks like the King Tiger and Panther would have bigger engine bays that it would not have been necessary.

When I did my apprenticeship back in 1970, our training staff had an Ex RAF W/O Engineer who had been out in the Libyan Desert. He would tell us tales of all the Aero engine parts he and his unit used to MAKE when supplies had not come through, Marek at 15:16 is the spitting image of him, and I could see that same look in his eyes like there is NOTHING beyond his skill ! A bit like your young Beau. I would PAY to watch Marek making stuff, as I bet he would be as hypnotic as your tea in their artistry. Our Mr Brewster would ALWAYS just have turning formulae in his HEAD as well as an almost unlimited memory of all sorts of heating temperatures for different finishes etc ...ALL before CAD and calculators, only with SlideRules. I'm so grateful YOU guys are keeping those skills ALIVE

What a gold mine you have discovered in this Polish engineering shop. Congratulations, may your collaboration with them deliver many more projects in your Smithfield Museum.

Love the schwimwagon, beautiful .

20 minutes a week is just not enough my friends. 😅 great videos guys, love it.

Wow ! There don’t seem to be adjectives appropriate enough for this episode ! Truly amazing shop and work ! Thanks for taking us along

You have to have them over for a visit

i just wish someone from hungary would go to kubinka, make a deal with the museum to measure and then make 100% accurate replicas of the hungarian tanks to display them in hungary, a country deserve to show off their own production vehicles in their country, its part of our history

This is the coolest video I have ever seen - New Zealand

Wonderful preservation of iconic historical machines! 👍

I have been to Cairns and to Museum, and it was awesome and I am going again next year

Very cool !! Cross hatches in those cyl. sleeves are frigg'n beautiful !

The "secret" Panzer Farm project is the restoration of the Tiger I. It is very advanced, but unfortunately no reports of the construction are shown.

That quiver in your voice (4:29): "There's two of 'em."

Happy wksp weds from UK, all those guys are so enthusiastic about what they are doing people like you keeps old machines and the skills needed to fix them alive . Long may that continue

I'm out of words. The level of skill, time they spent: it's just incredible. Well done guys, you can be proud !

It's amazing to see the amount of metal, special alloys, castings, and precise machining that went into things that were eventually going to be destroyed or break down and be abandoned, sometimes not long after they were made. That really stands out when looking at power plants.

amazing work

Unbelievable fantastic effort maybe more Tigers will be operational one day.

Thank you for bringing this content to us.

These welds making me go bonkers, some serious skill on these lot

Tremendous work.

Kurt bardzo ładnie przedstawiłeś się po polsku :)

This is art!

Thank you that you go out of your ways to restore and rescue all those awesome relicts

I wish they were open for the public!

This episode of your Polish visit is riveting guys. Beau looked as if he was in heaven lol. Can't wait for next weeks Polish adventure!

Crazy met crazy :D

Wonderful stuff. Keep up the great work people. 🙂👍

What top notch engineering despite not always having parts to copy. These engineers seem to be thin on the ground now unfortunately. Wonderful video...thank you!

Running Tiger1 FTW!

Pretty good Polish for an Aussie!

That is some amazing work they are doing. As a machinist I am still waiting for the machine shop tour.

Forget the - otherwise lovely - Polish accent or anything else you can see in the video. Just listen to this decent gentleman. He and his colleagues know what they are doing.

Amazing!!!! Whish I could work there only a single minute.

Chłopaki, ale duma! Autentyczna pasja, ogromna wiedza, ręce, które leczą bez ściemy. Ukłony głębokie, panowie!

Wonderful Technical magicians from other continents,

The name Tadek is sacred to Aston Martin lore. I would love to go the the PZ Farm and muddle about whilst on holiday. Would like to volunteer for a week and work at their shop. I used to go to the Jaques Littlefield Collection, and help out the restoration team. Got to work on a Panther, Goliath, and a Sherman. Wonderful workmanship and video series!

What an extremely important and talented crew they have here on the farm , amazing what can be done with technology and effort !

I could spend days in a place like that

A place where modern technology meets historic machinery but basic 'old skool' engineering delivers the goods. What an incredible place.

The WW2 version of Jay Lenos Garage. Awesome crew and facility.

Fantastic.

These guys are the real deal at Panzerfarm that can manufacture parts and do all the fitments necessary it's to bad they don't have a program ( a apprenticeship program ) for youth ,This is fascinating to me and I'm sure a lot of others

Really great stuff. Those Tiger engine would be handy in someones Tiger.😮

Leave it to the Polish,they are such fine craftsmen, be nice to see another Tiger 1 moving,and you guys can finally steal the thunder.

Wow! Just "wow". Fabulous, thanks!

This is so nice! I love the Polish mindset, to just get things done and done well 👌🏼👌🏼

Mind blown seeing such skill and professionalism in a small place.

These guys have my dream job.

I knew it, I knew that tiger's gonna be back on track

Inspiring stuff, guys, every single episode. It’s both humbling and a complete privilege to watch. Thank you!

Nobody in the olden days trusted bolt on mains bearings, so they posted the crank in through a big hole. I’ve owned a Rover V8 so I can hardly say they were wrong :D

Hiring . . . if only it was in Australia 40yrs as a Fitter and Turner CNC Machinist and 12yrs in Aerospace manufacturing for US defense. Damn its on the other side of the planet. Great vid🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Proper engineer’s - well done 👍gents

Bravo great behind the scenes episode.

Very cool to see CATIA V5 used for this. I have about 20 years experience using it in the aircraft industry. Great piece of software.

The cumulative skill sets of all the old boys in that video is humbling, mad respect. Worked on enough old war era equipment in my youth to know they are in a class all to themselves.

Fantastic series from Poland

Government should give these guys as much money as they need to restore these old tanks instead of war and other bs and use these old tanks to promote peace.

We live in a wonderful time where there it 3D scanning and CNC machining . Don`t forget the 3D printing .

Awesome thank you 👍 👍

Absolutely astounding! I love Poland and the Polish people! And again, this is the best channel on youtube!

Mind well and truely blown!!

Might be a big chance to make the tiger 1 in aus armour run again
