Love how Beau finds simple solutions to complex problems. His knowledge of the tank is very comprehensive too: excellent workmanship. Thanks for another grand video.
2:00 😱 those springs can be found in old German furniture of the age. Man... a shame, because i've disposed of a few unknowingly. My grandmother had a few recliners with the same spring design, if perhaps a longer spring design, can't recall correctly, it's been 15+ years. Bummer.
Thank you for this report! This was also a good episode. When Bo gives his opinion, it is well thought out. He does so well, his own safety and that of others. The way he practices his profession is an example to many. Enjoyed watching it. Thanks again
In Finland we have few fully operational stugs at Parola armour museum, and multiple not operational but almost fully intact around the country as war memorials etc.
StuG III is my absolute favorite of all WW2 fighting vehicles. I have seen a running one in Parola tank museum in Finland, and the "fighting" show they had was one to remember. Hope yours will come out as spectacular as the ones in Parola 👍
Great job Beau! Geez, the far flung, obscure & variable sources you use to try & find out 'where stuff goes' must make your job very difficult! Congrats on your progress mate you're doing a sterling job!
With your missing seat spring, easy to get the sprig wire ,from a spring works make a forming jig and then return to bend correct shape back to spring works for tempering . Love your work.
I really enjoy watching these builds. Gets you to thinking about the factory layouts, the machine shops for producing parts, the manpower working in the factories and the smaller production facilities. So many parts to be made and assembled...
Lottie the Tank Whisperer has had her own channel on RUclips for the last year or so. She uploaded again about 45 minutes ago. She gets really into tank engine details at times. Worth a look.
So much fun watching you guys solve these interiors! I am thinking about a StuG model kit now, and one with an interior, so these vids will be a huge help to understanding all the parts and how they work and interact. Great work, guys! Amazing!
That seat design with the hook is brilliant. So simple but logical. It _has_ to be how they meant it to be. The instruments of war, and the general conditions would have been absolute hell back then. The mindset of the soldiers and people in general would have been very different from ours.
The reason for the angling is due to the shape of the rounds, and to ensure that they don't fall out. There's a taper to the main part of the brass, then it necks down, so if the holder was flat, it might flop about a bit.
I hate hearing the closing music because it means the end of another terrific WW episode is near and having to wait a week for another. Really amazing work guys!
Highlight of the Wednesday! Armor fan since kid, i think you guys are doing an amazing job restoring these iconic vehicles. The level of care for details is simply stunning. Even on details no one will see. Hats off to you guys, really
It would be an incredible display to have a Stug with the top left off to show all the incredible detail inside, particularly with the carapace mounted on a stand next to it.
I would love to see a large overview of the interior. The work is exceptional but I don't know the interior like you guys who are right there. I thought we were going to get that view right at the end but then the video ended. I think that would be really cool before the upper hull is put in place. Thank you for the hard work on all of these wonderful pieces of history. Keep up the good work.😀
That has to be one of the best jobs in the world,no exaggerating either,and I bet it pays good too, and they have the full financial backing of the museum to get any tool they want,unbelievable opportunity these guys have and they do a great job,I’m definitely envious 🤷♂️
In the states for old stuff, we typically measure things that were made in imperial, in imperial and things that were built in metric in metric. Those ammo racks are likely some inch or fraction of spaced. Makes measuring a bit easier.
If you have questions about the StuG II Interior, let us know here and Beau will answer as many as he can in 60 seconds tomorrow!🧐📣📣
Are you going to change the 75mm cannon to a 30mm 6 barrel rotary Gatling cannon?
Is this one going to be able to fire blanks?/ Does the gun have fully functional parts?
Did German vehicles like this have a light-colored interior paint scheme like on Allied vehicles?
Would the inside of a late war stug iii have differed to one another due to late war shortages?
Would the inside of a late war stug have differed to one another due to shortages of materials?
Thank you for putting out these absolute gems every week.
Absolutely love this show, always look forward to Workshop Wednesdays.
Love how Beau finds simple solutions to complex problems. His knowledge of the tank is very comprehensive too: excellent workmanship. Thanks for another grand video.
The non-glamorous side of tank restoration, warts, welds and all. Brilliant stuff.
...and measuring, fitting, re-measuring, re-fitting, and on and on...
Who else automatically glances away when the welder arcs?
So ingrained that I look away and have to force myself to watch...
Hell yeah. Makes me a bit cranky to be honest.
@johnclean6498 Goes against every instinct to look into the arc, at least for me.
Automatically,, been burnt b4.
Safety squints!
Great how you hit an issue and just fix it. No whining or complaining, just press on

Thanks for the info because I need some for my SdKfz 251 seat. Regards from the Ardennes
Thanks for showing your mistakes as well as the excellent work you've done.
ARTIST !! total support for this new restoration guys !!
Thank you for this report!
This was also a good episode.
When Bo gives his opinion, it is well thought out.
He does so well, his own safety and that of others.
The way he practices his profession is an example to many.
Enjoyed watching it.
Thanks again
My hat is off to whoever managed to hand write so beautifully on a ball bearing race where it came out from 👍
Anyone else get bummed out when the music starts playing?
Love the restorations, guys. Great work by Beau and the crew!
What a great show this is. Well done to all who work at Aus Armour, and to its patrons (they must have deep pockets!).
Wednesdays are my favorite. Work's not busy and I get to just have a nice lunch break watching grease monkeys. Thank you!
In Finland we have few fully operational stugs at Parola armour museum, and multiple not operational but almost fully intact around the country as war memorials etc.
j4rno the stugs as memorials ther idea may change as Britian has many Spitfires on plinths. now many are made ouut of fiberglas or other materials.
Well Beau and Kurt ought to go to Finland for a fact finding mission...Ohh and by the way, I'm available to carry your bags boys!
Awesome to see all the details within the StuG II. Beau's excellent craftsmanship takes some beating.
I've been so busy at work I forgot all about workshop Wednesdays... Im getting comfortable and watching
Bo is a genius; loved that alteration of the ammo rack!
Me and my classmate sit in geography class every wednesday and watch workshop Wednesday
You lads are bloody legends
Smart kids! But don't slack off from learning about geography too! 😂
Beautiful job trimming and channeling those ready racks. Thanks! So satisfying to watch.
Admire the effort to get a myriad small details as accurate as possible. Champion work!!
All coming together, top attention to detail, with all the fixtures and fittings, big thanks for making these videos 👍
Wel done Beau great video
StuG III is my absolute favorite of all WW2 fighting vehicles. I have seen a running one in Parola tank museum in Finland, and the "fighting" show they had was one to remember. Hope yours will come out as spectacular as the ones in Parola 👍
if more people had positive attitudes like Beau and Kurt, than we wouldn't need to build war machines!! good on you two!!
The kids are at school the coffee is ready and Beau is working on the stug. The start of a perfect Wednesday Workship. 😂
Should be worship Wednesday
Brilliant work Beau 👍, so much detail to research and then manufacture.
you guys always put a smile on my face
You're doing such a great job! Beau is becoming a master in his own right hey. Hard not to with such an awesome team around him, I suppose!
Good work, Beau! It's coming together very nicely.👏👍😎
Great job Beau! Geez, the far flung, obscure & variable sources you use to try & find out 'where stuff goes' must make your job very difficult!
Congrats on your progress mate you're doing a sterling job!
This is a great channel.
Wednesday is the best day of the week
With your missing seat spring, easy to get the sprig wire ,from a spring works make a forming jig and then return to bend correct shape back to spring works for tempering . Love your work.
Wednesday’s the new Friday. Thanks for putting these out gents!
I really enjoy watching these builds. Gets you to thinking about the factory layouts, the machine shops for producing parts, the manpower working in the factories and the smaller production facilities. So many parts to be made and assembled...
You should go to a scale model competition and when someone asks you what you build, just remark that you make 1:1 scale WWII armor.
Awesome job Beau. Always enjoy seeing the Beau and Kurt double act. But where are Ryan and Lottie??

@@keithammleter3824 oh cheers. hadn't heard that

Amazing amount of work goes into these restorations. I honestly had no idea.
Great job ! Enjoyed the progress update, tx for sharing !

Bo, is an absolute artist with the angle grinder. Beauty job dude!
Looking sooo good 👍 👌
Fantastic job boy's 👏
Lovely work!

I am enamored with the Aus Armour videos.

Nice work as always Beau...and good eye on catching the mistake on the ammo storage rack. =)
Love watching this StuG come together! Awesome job lads!
It’s coming along nicely
Another great episode

I could watch/listen to Beau all day.Bravo Sir!
Thankn´s Aus Aumour
Absolutely brilliant well done indeed..
Excellent video.
Bo's the man!
Fantastici, ricostruire un carro armato di 80 anni fa con pochi progetti tra le mani. Molto bravi. 👍
Another fantastic video! I look forward to these every week.
Love your work, Beau! You're an absolute legend 😊
Woo hoo! My Wednesday has just gotten x10 better.
Never disappointed on Wednesdays...Thank you. 👍
It’s amazing the depth of engineering that went into these weapons
The stug is now coming together real good 👍
Quite incredible.
Great to see the metal glue sticks out again.
Awesome restoration work as always !. Stug is one of my favorite fighting vehicle of the German Panzers !.😊👍
What a great project and fantastic workmanship
Goodone guys.
A visit here is a bucket list item for me. As a kid we were always at Bovington tank museum. Keep up the great work guys.
That has to be one of the best jobs in the world,no exaggerating either,and I bet it pays good too, and they have the full financial backing of the museum to get any tool they want,unbelievable opportunity these guys have and they do a great job,I’m definitely envious 🤷♂️
Great work!!!
Sieht Gut aus
Well done Beau .

Beau, it looks right now!
you guys do some awesome work. enjoy watching you
Great work .
Very interesting to see all these little details of the interior!
You guys would be so lost without him. Whatever you're paying him, he's worth more.

You guys are freaking awesome ❤❤❤❤
Excellent as usual guys!
Sehr gute Arbeit, grüße aus Deutschland
