WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY: Panzer I RESTORATION nearing completion!

This is a running PANZER I Ausf. B (1 of only 6 in the world).

Follow the progress of our workshop restorations every Workshop Wednesday! A must watch for students of history, engineering, mechanics and metalworking! 🧐🛠️

Keep up to date with the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum!⬇️⬇️

You guys always make me think that I should join the local Men's Shed to learn wood and metal work from the old blokes there (clearly not at your skill range, but good enough for a starter). I'm a 38 year old guy and didn't have a dad around when I was young to show me how tools and building things worked. Now I'm in a phase where I really want to learn. I'm probably not going to restoring a Panzer anytime soon but one day 😉

Kurt the part where it looked like Daryl was seeing red with the jack direction confusion along with the sound effects had me in stitches!!!😂Great work boys.

That took one hell of an engineering quest to get those springs made and manufactured to the correct spec. Then add all of Daryl's supreme engineering skill, to render the various parts, to connect the springs to the wheels (+ a bit of good olde fashioned tinkering, with a 4lb hammer), and it sits. Brilliant piece of work lads, simply nothing else to say. Thanks from UK.

My brother-in-law is visiting the museum this week, my wife and I were there 6 years back and the place is beyond words, so much to see.

To see all that come together into a recognisable tank again is a sight to behold! Amazing work as always mates.

My 1 year anniversary of watching workshop Wednesday and aus armor!

What a gorgeous little armoured vehicle that Mk I tank is. Congratulations on your achievement so far. A unique addition to the collection.

The technology from 80 +years ago is amazing

[jmsmaxwell]

I love the restoration of old equipment whether it Military or even other old Machinery restored
to working order.

I have seen in Madrid one fully working Panzer I, and you feel like entering in a Time Machine.

[robleary]

Love seeing these old bits of historical kit bought back to life!. Nice one!.

[grahammoore]

Really enjoyed this episode thanks guys. I never fail to be amazed by your level of skill and Engineering abilities as I studied mechanical engineering as a young 16 year old. As a 58 year old man I really enjoy actually being in the workshop with you.

12:06 Getting in the axis with all the bearings lined up etc is a pain on my veteran/old timer motorbike, i can't imagine how difficult could it be with such heavy components. Great job bois.

Hell of a job gentlemen! Another great Workshop Wednesday.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[jeremysaunders]

Acetylene, cutting, heating and bending, belting, drilling, making somthing from a rusty bent up blown up, fragmented piece of mechanical history whats not to like. I love workshop Wednesday's 😊

[janbyrdal]

What a fantastic work Darryl and the boys have made, orsome fabrication, impressive, good to see the boys again, I just love to see them work.

I just love the 'Old Skool' engineering employed on these restorations.
Get these videos into every school and show kids looking for a career what engineering does.

And the Up Means Down and Down Means Up part was a lesson in cantilevers. And communication ... 🤣🤣
