Do you ever want to slap the camera out of Kurt's hand? For as smart and multi-talented you are, I'm glad you chose Armored vehicles and the museum...the show wouldn't be the same without you!!
Is he sure that the first piece to the shovel holder isn't reversed. It seems that the bends that hold the shovel blade are angled inward, shouldn't they be angled the other direction to better fit the shovel blade? Very curious about this...
I laughed my ass off how they just made it look like Bo lifted the rear plate with ease, but then show him on the fork lift again. Lmao. More of this please
Beau is a fantastic builder, it has been a joy to see him manufactor all these parts, just think how lucky we are to be a Part of this build. Thank you, cant wait until next week.👍🏻
I wasn’t sure you guys even had a plasma cutter. This episode is the first time I remember you using one. Kurt, thanks for the filter shots showing the plasma “flame” as well as the welds. That was cool.
This was rad. It's always an honor to help Aus Armour and get name dropped in a video. Beau's dedication to accuracy is inspiring. We're going to keep working on StuG research going forward.
I totally respect that an original engine couldn't/was near impossible to be found, for obvious reasons, and that a similar functioning, modern version is replacing it (Hardly anybody without any special knowledge will be able to notice it!). That a mostly original looking and functioning StuG III will be moving round from this Museum at a time in the future, will be more than impressive for most interested people! Finn. Denmark
This is not just an amazing exhibition of the skills in this restoration, but also a history lesson. The shovel details and fitting was really informative, thank you.
Wow 😮 that is awesome 👍!✅ That new filter lens to be able to help us see the plasma torch and hopefully the tig and mig welding in the future is phenomenal 👍! Thanks so much! I appreciate the talents the crew has and would be chuffed to bits seeing them stack dimes and work the steel!😎 Awesome I just saw him mig welding with the new filter lens, thanks again guys! I'd love to see your museum some day. Living in the U.S. makes it kind of difficult to just pop on over, but who knows, never say die, right?!✅👍
11 pm Thursday night and finally get to watch work shop Wednesday, there should be a law about working when Daryl, Beau and crew are in action, can’t get enough of these men and their abilities, pure genius is putting it mildly best from Tassie
Beautiful work Beau and Great footage thru the welding mask of that plasma cutting, well done to them whoever it was. Those mufflers were a work of art , I could watch a whole episode of Beau making them.
hahahaha!! 🤣That part with Beau pulling the StuG chassis was comedy Gold! First I was like "No way, he'll never make it go!", then I went "Wait what?! OMG! He did??", only to come to a halt at "You bastard!! 🤣" after you said "Nah, just kidding" with a big smile and thumbs up from Beau 🤣 Hahahaha!! Nice editing LOL 😉 I love Workshop Wednesday on Thursday! 👍👍
Love your work guys, I got into watching this when I had a serious crash on my motorbike and recently I changed industries and part of that reason is the passion you ignited, I start next year as a mechanical fitter machinist apprentice.
Its been said before but I will say it again, Beau's fabrication skills are second to non, great to watch. You were a bit late this week and was getting worried but got there in the end. Thank you but could you make Workshop Wednesday's longer please ?😊
Having a non genuine engine is still ok as it allows you to show off the tank to happy crowds and you can always get the real engine later and put it in. Nothing is really lost. either you dont put a engine in and it never runs or you do and people can enjoy it .
I think this is a masterpiece just like when it was originally built. And with a more moedern power plant can be run and enjoyed alot longer without huge cost. Very innovative and clever. Great job Glenn and Bo. I would like to see more of them on here when possible. All your employees are just top notch. Im a grandson of a US WW2 infantryman and i wanna salute you guys for keeping history alive . Aus armour is really helping lead the charge in preserving history. Thank you to the owner of aus armour and all his talented and dedicated employees. Sorry that i dont know the owners name but wanted to give him praise for his efforts and passion for history. Godbless all of you. Thanks from America 🤘🇺🇸🤘👍
The Crew had the field mod done to relocate the shovel etc.because the Mud guards had to be taken off in the Spring and Autumn in the so called „Schlamm Periode“ or mud period at the Eastern front. Mud would build up under the mud guards and either brake them or it outright clogged the tracks and spare parts at the time didn’t come easy either later in the war. So mud guards once gone weren’t probably replaced easily
Beau is the man! Some seriously good silencer, ( I hate the American word 'Muffler' lol. That's coz I'm a Pom!) fabrication. And they look great. On top of that, the radiator fixings and shroud proves he can weld aluminium pretty well, so an all round welder is Beau!
We Dutch call it a demper ( uitlaatdemper). A silencer ( geluidsdemper) is on a gun. I would only remake the inside and reuse the outside from the exhaust demper.
It's coming along guys, awesome work. I didn't think you could find the original engine. I remember Bruce getting the engine for the one he sold you guys, a real one off find. Great video 👍👍👍
Just woke up to this had to check to see it was actually Thurs and not Wed as I thought I was losing the plot then I realised I had lost it years ago 😅😅love watching the work and missed it not being on yesterday 🙃 keep it coming lads all the way from Guisborough UK.just a side note Beau is a master of his craft. I could watch the master work all day. Kurt when the build is done are you going to do a feature length on the full job as you have done with others. Just wonderful to see.
It's coming together nicely. It may not have the original engine, but that doesn't matter if you can drive the bloody thing-that's going to be very cool!
Aus Armor comes through again with another great video! What I love is that you have subject matter experts demonstrate their skills and knowledge in their different areas of expertise. And you have a lot of experts with different areas of expertise.
The 710 N.m. stated above is a calculated figure, not a test figure. The true torque of the engine was probably what Beau suggests: around 600-650 N.m. at around 1800-2000 r.p.m.
As someone who builds models of ww2 German armour, I've got to say that I find your channel so interesting. I can't wait to see what other vehicles you will be restoring in the future.
I was beginning to think I was crazy that I couldn't find workshop Wednesday. Another great video. I was playing the StuG 111 in War Thunder today. It's always neat to see the actual vehicles!
Great video! I really appreciate what you guys do. I was trying to explain to my wife what I was watching, and how much I enjoyed it. We went to a map of Australia and looked to see where the museum was. She herself reads a lot of books by Australian authors and likes to know where some of these places are.
Love my workshop Wednesday videos, it's always a joy to watch the maestros of metal at work, counting down week by week until Oz armourfest next year 😁😁😁
Is it just me or is the front shovel holder 19:17 welded backwards?? Visually, there is a cone in its extensions that fits the contour of the metal part of the shovel. Maybe it was just filmed that way and at an angle that seemed that way to me.
I never thought that I would take such an interest in this series, but you guys make so interesting. Also, very likely was the fact that my dad was the WW2 veteran and he said that tanks like the Panther and the StuG terrified them.
I'm loving how Kurt will watch Beau struggle to lift and move these pieces, single-handed, filming the strain in progress. It takes a true documentarian's eye not to get involved as the lion mangles the gentle, baby gazelle :)
Q and A on this Episode HERE >>> ruclips.net/user/shortsDyeK35VHKCg
What do you figure that backplate weighs?
Will you bolt the "Addon" armor back on to the front plates?
Do you ever want to slap the camera out of Kurt's hand? For as smart and multi-talented you are, I'm glad you chose Armored vehicles and the museum...the show wouldn't be the same without you!!
Is he sure that the first piece to the shovel holder isn't reversed. It seems that the bends that hold the shovel blade are angled inward, shouldn't they be angled the other direction to better fit the shovel blade? Very curious about this...
why not leave the old shovel holders if its a rare field mod?
Loving the humour creeping into these episodes! Keep up the great work guys!!
@@TheBurt007 the Beau / Kurt double act a bit like Laurel and Hardy!!
Humour is great as long as NO WOKE CRAP comes in 😂😂😂
@@ruebencover5795go away redneck.
I laughed my ass off how they just made it look like Bo lifted the rear plate with ease, but then show him on the fork lift again. Lmao. More of this please
Yes! Thanks Kurt! A Workshop Wednesday is better than no Workshop Wednesday.
Even when its a Thursday… and STUG too…
@@stephenyoud6125 It was Wednesday where I live when I watched it, so it was just a later than usual Workshop Wednesday.
Beau is a fantastic builder, it has been a joy to see him manufactor all these parts, just think how lucky we are to be a Part of this build. Thank you, cant wait until next week.👍🏻
I wasn’t sure you guys even had a plasma cutter. This episode is the first time I remember you using one. Kurt, thanks for the filter shots showing the plasma “flame” as well as the welds. That was cool.
I'm consistently amazed by Beau's skills and workmanship...

Beau's such a humble guy pretending not to be able to pull the StuG 😉 another excellent episode 👍
lol Totaly got me with him moving the stug gag!
11 pm Thursday night and finally get to watch work shop Wednesday, there should be a law about working when Daryl, Beau and crew are in action, can’t get enough of these men and their abilities, pure genius is putting it mildly best from Tassie
Love the "Weld Camera" , that is so cool.
Yes!☝️ keep up the awesome work, Kurt and crew!
Still Wednesday in Arizona, USA! Thanks, gents!👍
Nearly heading for bed here in Missouri, but you popped. I'm awake now!
Seeing the plasma cutter in action was pretty cool.
Still workshop Wednesday by the skin of its teeth! At least here in Wisconsin. Great shots of the plasma cutting and welding!
Beautiful work Beau and Great footage thru the welding mask of that plasma cutting, well done to them whoever it was. Those mufflers were a work of art , I could watch a whole episode of Beau making them.

I have a complaint. I would like at least 2 videos a week. Please.
And more references to “throaty petrol burble”
Absolutely!!😊
...easier said than done...
3:25 for 23 seconds: best plasma cutting footage I've ever seen on RUclips - and I've seen a lot. Kurtfromozama has skills.
Incredible fabrication and commitment to perfection. Beau isn’t the oldest but a massive talent when it comes to making parts from scratch
Ahh the little details. Nice find on the shovel mount.
Workshop Thursday is here!!!!
Darryl's work on the lathe is nothing short of amazing
Beau is a master! The fan shroud and the exhaust pipes and the muffler and the…. and the….
Man oh man! You guys have a LOT of talent in that shop.
Love your work guys, I got into watching this when I had a serious crash on my motorbike and recently I changed industries and part of that reason is the passion you ignited, I start next year as a mechanical fitter machinist apprentice.
Its been said before but I will say it again, Beau's fabrication skills are second to non, great to watch. You were a bit late this week and was getting worried but got there in the end. Thank you but could you make Workshop Wednesday's longer please ?😊
Kurt took out the power grid in order to get a day off.
Having a non genuine engine is still ok as it allows you to show off the tank to happy crowds and you can always get the real engine later and put it in. Nothing is really lost. either you dont put a engine in and it never runs or you do and people can enjoy it .
The build montage of the mufflers was comedy gold. Nice editing 😄
Yep, still Wednesday here in Los Angeles. Love watching Beau fabricate!
The muffler building sequence was cinematic brilliance! 😀
YOUR TEAM HAS SOME AMAZING SKILLS . YOU GUYS ARE EXELENT CRAFTSMAN
I was getting more than a little anxious when my AusArmor "fix" wasn't forthcoming! Much better, now, thank you.
@@AdamWeber-pi1gs me too. Almost ruined the week but all good now. Balance restored to the Force
Showing the plasma cutter in action was a nice addition 👍
Im looking forward to the super cut of this build if that happens. Ive been watching the build series from day 1.
The Cat with basically open collectors will sound awesome, and will only be slightly more smoky than the Maybach.
I think this is a masterpiece just like when it was originally built. And with a more moedern power plant can be run and enjoyed alot longer without huge cost. Very innovative and clever.

Some VERY nice work Beau ✅✅✅ but dot let it go to your head.
Interesting there is a shovel mounted at the back. Would make more sense to have the hand crank mounted there for proximity to the starting hole.
The early StuG G models did have one mounted there, but they moved it to the side of the engine deck!
Still Wednesday here, better late then never! With many thanks to Kurt and crew!

So mud guards once gone weren’t probably replaced easily
That makes sense. I'm thinking it's mounted at an angle to avoid something else mounted on the plate.
What a talented craftsman! I'm amazed that his hands always look intact and in good shape doing all the metal work. Not even a Bandaid. Amazing.
Definitely had a few awesome chuckles on this video. Well done!
Thanks Team, I nearly cried last night when I couldn't get my fix. Cheers
Fantastic work as usual

You know both the firearm "Silencer" and automotive "muffler" were invented in tandem by Hiram Percy Maxim. Son of Maxim of MG fame.
We Dutch call it a demper ( uitlaatdemper). A silencer ( geluidsdemper) is on a gun. I would only remake the inside and reuse the outside from the exhaust demper.
It's coming along guys, awesome work. I didn't think you could find the original engine. I remember Bruce getting the engine for the one he sold you guys, a real one off find. Great video 👍👍👍
I was so exited to hear you say welcome to workshop thursday
The skill of these guys never ceases to amaze.

Ditto still Wednesday here in Florida!

Great catch with that unique shovel clamp arrangement. Brilliant!
I love this build.

Kirk, cool job with that filter so we could better see the plasma cutter - so funny re: Bo pulling the thing! thanks!
Just incredible fabrication skills. Another great Wednesdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Beau’s a bloody legend. Well done young fella.
Always look forward to workshop Wednesdays, all of you guys are incredible craftsmen.
Nice camera shots here, especially on the welding and plasma cutting scenes.
I really like the discovery of the shovel mount and even though it was not square you put it back as it was…..that’s cool!
Good to see Beau try and defy heat the same as I do when holding a hot washer lol Been there done that many times throughout my career 🤙
Beau, and everyone there, is an incredible craftsman. He works magic with metal!
I was beginning to think I was crazy that I couldn't find workshop Wednesday. Another great video. I was playing the StuG 111 in War Thunder today. It's always neat to see the actual vehicles!
Truly great video great work and making all the parts very interesting 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌😀
Great video today. Amazing work as usual. It just looks like it would be enjoyable going to work every day at the Museum. Thanks again for the video.
After watching Beau work his metal magic, I'm firmly convinced he has built an Iron Man suit! Awesome episode!
Beau is a true craftsman!! Cheers from the US! Fantastic work!!
3:45 seeing the molten material dripping off looks really interesting.
Good to see the progress you made with the engine and fan. Great episode as always!
Great clip again, that is craftmanship onf the best, greetings and thanks Gerhard
Really like the plasma video section, as the filter you used let us see it's effects nicely!
Great video! I really appreciate what you guys do. I was trying to explain to my wife what I was watching, and how much I enjoyed it. We went to a map of Australia and looked to see where the museum was. She herself reads a lot of books by Australian authors and likes to know where some of these places are.

Coming along nicely! Interesting to see the plasma cutter and welding up close thru that filter(?) that you used.

Awesome restoration work as always !. I've just started building another late Stug 3G model. Can't wait to watch next episode !.
Glad we got out workshop fix. Thanks ☺️
As always, absolutely incredible work!
Lovin these videos about the STUG. Great to have a bit of humour during these builds.
I'm loving how Kurt will watch Beau struggle to lift and move these pieces, single-handed, filming the strain in progress. It takes a true documentarian's eye not to get involved as the lion mangles the gentle, baby gazelle :)
Your videos are fantastic. Thanks 😊
Workshop Wednesday on THURSDAY!! :P :P darn power outages! Thank you!
Thank you so much. I really look forward to your videos!
This came out late. I watch these every Wednesday morning. Helps me get through the week
My money is on Beau to actually pull that Stug!
Just wow on the mufflers alone... gsus... you guys are magicians!!
16:12 The shovel moved to the rear plate can be found on some StuGs belonging to Pz.Abt.302(Fkl) as well
Another cracking episode guys thankyou. Ol Beau really works hard and his dedication is second to none. Keep em coming thanks from us guys in the UK.
That new rear plate support sure did go all in on the method acting, even rusted up to really get into it's role as a 1940s piece of metal.
