    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 👍

    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.

  • @LyleHatch
    @LyleHatch 9 месяцев назад +27

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Ever since I started watching you guys last year when you started doing work on the tiger one I've been hooked ever since. And it's really cool how you try and save some old Parts if you can and then incorporate new parts into the build because some of them were too badly damaged.
    It's still amazes me that people still go out there and search for World War II parts from the battlefields of World War II.
