WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY: Repairing the traverse guides and test fitting the STUG III G gun! 

Thanks chaps.... once again I'm fascinated by a bloke working on bits of metal that I had no idea existed until 20 or so minutes ago. The team make this so accessible and engaging... thanks all.

Beau is an artist...but instead of paintbrushes, his tools are a blowtorch, hammer & a multitude of other hand & power tools. ...& Kurt makes it a viewing masterpiece with his film work & narratives. Cheers Lads 👍

Professionals at turning complete scrap into valuable and often unique bits of history. 🙂

As usual, Aus Armour proves how entertaining taking apart rusted steel gizmos can be! Especially if they have historical provenence. Beau and Kurt also show us how a genuine friendship can make media content so much more pleasant to watch.

The best thing I've learned from watching the WW videos is how effective heat from a torch is for loosening parts that have been rusted and stuck together for decades. What looks like unusable lumps of rusty metal are often saved and restored. Great stuff!

Patience makes perfect. Beau's patience at teasing the bolts loose, and re-assembling the parts so all of them move, is a credit to his years of experience. And for the most part using all the original bits, too.

Fantastic, Work shop Wednesday Well done guys.

Allways amazing watching this craftmanship. As a german craftman i allways smiley when you talk about how we craft our stuff. Kurt we hope all is fine, nice that you are back.

Holy Toledo!!! That’s awesome work that Beau is doing. Little parts are one thing but recreating the whole gun mount… gad zooks! Great job recording it all Kurt.

Thank you so much for recording the history of how you blokes restore history. These videos are incredibly interesting, and so damn fascinating to watch. And I can't wait to see the video on the KV-1 that Kurt is standing in front of at the start of the video!

Love everything you guys do. I so look forward to every one of your videos.

Excellent , it's so nice to see the effort you guys go to to bring a machine of history back to life , Thank you

What a wonderful way to start a Wednesday! Thanks!!!

Beau's workmanship is just amazing. What a professional. Sign him up. The Herr would've taken him...

Impressive work!

this is so awesome to watch. the craftmanship of you guys are simply mindblowing

Dear Guys, For me it’s always amazing to see how even small parts of classic army vehicles are restored with a lot of eye for details as well as with love to work with metal. The more I watch your episodes the more I regret I never will be able to visit your museum and your fabulous restoration team. At the other hand I’m grateful that I can follow your vlogs so I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

Beau is something else, he's awesome and what a hell of a asset he is to Australian Armour. I hope people watching this can understand the degree of difficulty it was in making this gun mount ,I sure appreciate it thank you Mates

Another beauty lads.

I liked the way the wrench is build into the mechanism to tighten the roller. Something i would have never seen or learned from a military museum. Thank You

You guys show what Museum Restoration really involves. I applied for a job in the National Army Museum in the very early 70's in London. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful as I was just out of college, and not even semi-skilled at that stage. That is the reason I watch your videos. You show what I have been missing all this time. I did become an engineer/mechanic and got to work on some really interesting tractors and other equipment to not so high requirements as museum standard. I would love to help you guys out on a regular basis but I'm now 69yrs old, disabled by so long in rough engineering that I can't walk(back, knees and the rest) & stuck in rural England. I can watch and imagine myself taking on some of the tasks you get to play with, and love every minute of the videos. Keep up the excellent work, you are true Museum Class Restorers of the highest order. and should be lauded as such. Thanks for the work you do, and I look forward to watching your travails and triumphs in the future.

its always nice when things come together

as always, beau does impressive work.

Great close-up camera work.

Got my Aussie Armour fix, well done lads, I'm definitely not a whinging pom now!

Beautiful another nice little nugget in place well done fellas.

Thanks for another great video! You fellas make me feel like I'm there and involved. I swear, I can almost smell the rust, grease and oil!

Beautiful work again Beau. I still can’t get over the brilliant engineering, all done while there’s a war going on and they weee under pressure to produce large numbers quickly .

Another great video, thank for taking the time to explain what you are doing.

Great to see you back Kurt. Hope all is well.

Great work Beau & Kurt! 😃👍!

Congratulations guys on a BEAUTIFUL restoration and i love how you have all taken so much car of everything! One day i hope to come over from the UK and join Aus Armour fest, and hopefully meet all of you!!

That was so impressive to watch. It was even more impressive to see the STUG III G's main gun traversing so smoothly. Well done to all.

Flipping brilliant as usual guys!

Awesome mates!!!.Keep the history alive!! When y'all tackling the Tiger 1 resto to running order??.That would be the cats meow!!!

This is such a cool channel! Thanks, Mates 🦘

I'm so incredibly happy to see the Stug again! Beautiful work. Bonza mates. Cheers!

you guys are incredible artists.

That was very satisfying to watch!

Absolutely FANTASTIC!! Great video to watch. Well done.

Toujours tres instructifs ..........

Just love watching this guy work.hypnotic😊

Another great video showing the detail and hard work of those awesome lads working to restore this piece of history and of course, all the others as well. I binge watched the whole StuG build up to date a couple of days ago and appreciate this next piece on the StuG. One of my favorite German vehicles of WW2. Love watching these videos and this one was a great way to start my day. I ate my breakfast, kicked back in the chair and enjoyed this very much! As others have said, what a great way to start the day. Thank you! Keep up the invaluable work guys! You all are appreciated so much. Thanks Kurt for capturing all of this and editing it and getting it out there for us to all enjoy. Can't wait for the next WSW!

Another amazing, informative video. You guys are knocking it out of the park with your videos!

Nice I remember seeing this stug in pieces massive transformation

So nice to see our old tech being restored as best as possible and the dedication from you guys.

Excellent

Always an Outstanding video and presentation buy the mechanics and Kurt!

That is some sick work on the mount.

Very good work absolut amazing. I can imagine by the last shot of the Video how it feels when you stand at the wrong side of this gun. It is final

Y'all are genuinely Blessed to have such a talented young man willing to apply his talents refurbishing whatever is thrown his way. Guard him close as others will want his talents for their own shops. Amazing what skills the engineers, and craftsmen the Germans had. Imagine if they had real leadership with the intelligence, and motivation the craftsmen, and all the others in manufacturing had how things might have changed. Probably wouldn't have had the madness that was the trademark of the one's following Hitler surely. Nor would they had aspersions to take over the world either i wouldn't think.

Absolutely amazing work ! Kind of makes me wish I had paid more attention in math class

Outstanding, as always.

I have a model stug iii b and it is fun to follow along with this projects and seeing the parts you repair and comparing to my tiny one

Brilliant, it will be great in the end 👍👍

Wonderfull craftmanchip from those mechanics.

Amazing job guys. I love Wednesdays just for these videos and the Stug is a firm favourite of mine. You guys have the best job in the world. See you soon, hello from Brisbane.

The satisfaction that must come after all that work, and to have it work as you envisioned it must feel really good. Well done Beau.

Brilliant, so good to see the Stug coming along. A credit to everyone involved.

Its the thingy that holds the bit that makes the big piece move before it can go bang! Hope that helps!😅

This is first class design analysis. Aus armour have a potential side line business stream here. Value analysis training films.

Quite an intresting and really good video. Its very nice to see the progress on the Stug 3.

Keep up the good work

Another Gem vid thanks guys you make it look so dam easy brings back memories.

Fantastic work. Love that Stug project.

Your mechanical magicians did it again. Nicely done!

That is some damn fine work!

You all continue to impress!Thank you for keeping history alive.

Thanks guys, great stuff!

Incredible job, gentleman. This, Stug will need a brass restoration plate mounted in it with the modern-day names of those who restored it

First yeah we have yet another great stug iii episode

Świetna robota 👍. Pozdrawiam całą ekipę z Polski 🇵🇱

WOOOO STUG EPISODEEE

WW is great! I think everyone who has worked on rusty old cars will identify with this one. I can smell the penetrating oil on hot metal

Fascinating. I could watch this disassembly and reassembly process all day long. I should be earning college credit for all the things I learn thru this channel. Best armor restoration channel on RU-vid!!

Incredible work

That was a great start to my Wednesday. Many thanks for another awesome resto video.

Best part of Wednesday is the Workshop Wednesday 😍

Fantastic work to one and all

We need more content longer videos need more

Thank you for all your work-you have some VERY clever people there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s awesome !!

One of my favourite tanks. My most favourite is the Jadgpanther.

I didn't even know the StuG's gun had horizontal movement. Very cool to see the workings of the assembly.

Beautiful. My Fav project

Wonderful work,

Thank you, Beau & Glen, I absolutely love Workshop Wednesday. The attention to detail leaves me gob smacked. Looking forward to next week's episode. If I feel I need a fix, I do rewatch older episodes. Cheers

Nice work and … as ever … a gentle reminder that taking it slowly is quicker and cheaper😁! Thank you gentlemen.

There is just something so soothing to my soul watching a true craftsman perform their art. Beau is that craftsman. Perhaps James May could be convinced to visit for a guest appearance? His "Reassembler" series felt the same way.

Another entertaining episode

Wow! Exciting to see this traverse mechanism wrapped up and the gun mounted in the hull!

Master craftsmen!

That was brilliant, great to see the gun gliding around after the hard work.

Masterful as always! Greetings from Sweden.

That was so interesting so much so that l have subscribed, what you guys do to get these bits of history back to working order is unbelievable 👍

Great work.

An absolutely beautiful piece of work. It is going to awesome seeing this Stug in action.

An absolutely awesome rebuild of the gun mount! Beau is a really talented fabricator and engineer. The Aus Armour Museum is really lucky to have had Beau working there with his father (since he started there from school I believe,) and they have trained him extremely well.

Weer een prachtig mooie film verslag van Workshop Wednesday , Bo is again so talented in how to attack stubborn bolts to get lose, and how to temper them to prevent more damage. O Lord i love this channel!!!

As always thank you Australian Armour & Artillery Museum for posting yet another excellent video! Each video you post is highly educational and makes each Wednesday the best day of the week to learn something new from you too!
