I was lucky enough to visit the museum last week and was even lucky enough to exchange a few words with Daryl. This was a highlight of our visit to Cairns very well worth a visit.
I have also been that lucky. The boys do like a chat if they are not too busy. AND - remember to buy an annual entry while you are there. You might not get back in the year but it goes to keeping the work happening.
I was there in March. Loved every minute of it
You lads and your museum are such a blessing to our country. I cannot thank you enough for keeping Australia's military history alive and bringing so many foreign pieces here for us to learn about.
I was thinking the same thing, except I would broaden it to say the world history is what you are keeping alive.. In todays messed up woke world of " changing " history, god bless youi.
American here. I know we're supposed to be the gun people but this is seriously impressive. I'd like to visit someday.
Very impressive national tank museum and I’m jealous we don’t have one here in the US that takes pride in tank restoration the way we do taking care of aircraft. 😅
Jose Martinez, and a group of friends made a Panzer 1 replica based upon a local museums Panzer 1. He probably has a lot of drawings, info, etc. Their tank ran at Bovington last year.
I’ve seen images from that build - these guys should definitely talk to each other.
I saw that at Tankfest and was very impressed.
As I understand it, the Panzer 1 was initially developed, at a time when Germany was still prevented from building any tanks, as a training tank and to help develop armoured vehicle doctrine and tactics. So the thin armour is understandable.
It's fascinating to see how thin that hull is. It's not armor, it's boiler sheets.
The Panzer I was primarily intended as a 'training' tank, one reason why it was armed with only two machines guns.
@@JM-lk6womore than a training tank The panther 1 was conceved like a tankette that's why The twin MG 34's on The turret and The light armour
Yet they attacked into France, Belgium and Russia!
@@frankbodenschatz173 , that's true. It wasn't intended to be so used by the German General staff, but Hitler wanted a war before Panzer IIs and IIIs were available in sufficient quantity.
May I say how I look forward to Workshop Wednesday. Keep up the good work lads. 90 yr old POM.
Congrats guys on 142,000 subscribers this channel is really picking up now, well deserved.
What a surprise! I cannot get through the tempo you guys are working at. The amount of work you all are accomplishing is breathtaking!
American Heritage Museum recently put one on display as a non-runner but with a full interior done up about a year ago. It’s cool to see another being restored, given how rare they are
Just as it starts getting really interesting it’s over for another week! Thanks for uploading and keep up the great work 🍻
Hard to believe that the ball bearing still has the same number: Rillenkugellager 6309 (45x100x25 mm)
I noticed that as well.
I have done US half tracks, when doing the brakes, I used off the shelf truck parts, they were the same and those parts are available still. Because of manufacturing standards, we are now seeing parts that have been in use across many different machines since for 130 years. This will continue, why after all invent a new bearing and give it a new number when there is no need.
@@oldfarthacksI could agree more. I have been delighted to buy off the shelf bearings and oil seals for my milling machine which was new in 1952.
@@oldfarthacks There are some part number changes and some bearing lines do die out, but yeah, for the most part, anything built within 130 or so years, maybe even a bit more... you can use off the shelf parts. That's standardization for ya.
I'm telling you that if these episodes were 2, 3, 4, or 5 hours long each week, I wouldn't get anything done on Wednesdays. Great work, guys. It makes you wonder about the shortsightedness of people doing the scrapping. But most just wanted to make sure it wouldn't happen again.
It was very tough times making a living after WW II ... But indeed, if ever we could time travel ...
You were struggling with removing steel bolts from cast aluminum and there is a very simple trick which works very well in that the maximum expansion of aluminum happens at 100 deg C while steel needs much higher temperatures to move. All you have to do is drop the casting into boiling water and allow it to come up to temperature, the aluminum expands by as much as 10% while the steel wont expand at all. This works so well that Rolls Royce use it as their preferred method for removing liners from the merlin blocks and from experience they almost drop out. Could save you a lot of work
17:41 and I just realized that the same reason I love watching these get disassembled is the same reason I love vintage MRE/Rations
Ich wünsche euch viel Erfolg bei der Restauration des Panzer 1 und der anderen Projekte. Schön das der Panzer in fahrbereitem Zustand wieder auferstehen soll. Ich find des immer besser diese Fahrzeuge in Aktion zu sehen. So wie bei eurem AusArmourfest , Bovington Tiger Days / GB, Saumur / Frankreich oder Militracks in Overloon / Niederlande.
Grüße aus Deutschland
What a superb video ! Really looking forward to watching this tank 'evolve'. For a tank enthusiast this is THE must watch channel. Congrats chaps !!!!
I hope everything goes well with the panzer 1 project
Showing how the bearings and sprocket are assembled is fascinating, just like looking over their shoulder in the shop. Keep it up folks this is why Wednesdays are a day to look forward too 👍🏻
i love seeing old serial numbers and markings on these parts
I work in the machine industry and haven't seen a bearing come out of China that looks as good as that 90 year old Swiss one. You can tell that a whole lot of care went into the manufacturing of it. Look at how smooth the cage is and how nice the part number punchings are.
Hope one day you guys can get a Panzer 2, but having a Panzer 1 (and a running one at that) is gonna be so cool
Just finished watching every single video you have made and i am hooked , best part is you are in my state so one day i could make a trip up north to see the museum ......................... Thumbs Up
I'm absolutely enamored by this program and the work you fellas do! I may be a bit nerdy, but this is my new favorite RUclips channel! You guys Rock! Thank you for what you do! 💥💨😎🤟👍
Thanks from America, good video experience of restoration and friendly commentary.
Amazing jobs the guys are doing on these smashed armoured vehicles remains. Watched some of their work already, sometimes hard to believe what they’re doing. Keep on!
Your intro count down was brilliant.
this is more like it! more panzer restoration!
YEAH .... THIS is what I tune in for, guys! GOOD VIDEO!
I am so pleased I 'stumbled' across this channel. I love The Tank Museum also for its history content. Sadly, they devote little time to their Workshop Diaries content, which is always fascinating. I love seeing the back stories of the vehicle restorations, especially the technical aspects.
So, very well done guys. You have an avid fan hers, and I lap it all up.
Awesome just awesome! Always working on something different. 👍
I'm terrified of flying. But I think with the help of some bourbon I can muster up the courage to see your wonderful collection. Coming from Kentucky and a former US Army Abrams gunner. Thanks for your hard work and excellent videos.
A Panzer 1 in the country, I can't wait to see it come together.
As a model maker of 30+ years, this would be a dream come true. Fairly certain continental on the rollers is correct. Rings a bell for some reason.
That dished centre of the sprocket looks ideal for easy casting. My brother did some work on heat-treating cast iron and found that it gave a lot more strength to an iron casting. It is definitely worth looking into as casting is so easy.
G'day Boys what a jigsaw puzzle but when it's all done what a fantastic new Tank to display and drive, cheers mates, keep safe, cheers, Neil 🤠.
I have been a Raiders fan since inception. You are the man!
this was a really nice suprise this morning.
I am looking forward to this project, I have always had a soft spot for the pz mk 1
These episodes are never long enough.
Super excited to see that hint that you have a panzer 2 project. I love these interwar and early war tanks which fought in the blitzkrieg battles and are much rarer than Sherman’s, T 34’s and even panthers.
19:15 I’ve had brand new bearings rattle more than that when I’ve cleaned the grease out of them before use.
This is going to be awesome to watch.
So looking forward to this series, I love early war tanks.
It's great that you show it.
One word: WOW!
Kurt, you have the best job watching these guys rebuilding these tanks, everyday is a school day.
He’s learning this stuff a bit himself
You’ve certainly got a lot of skill in that workshop. It’s a joy to watch!
That countdown intro with the the various Panzers was great lol
It's a great day workshop Wednesday is here...
I am confident you will get a II someday.
Until.then having a I,III,IV,V and VI is brilliant.
Amazing work.
The skill shown by you is truly remarkable . It is as if it was a plastic kit of the tank. With the majority of the parts missing . That had to be remade by hand. But instead of plastic and glue , you are working in steel and welding !
I love watching your videos, but I am especially excited about this project!!! The Panzer I and all the variations the Germans made using it's chassis has always been one of my favorite tanks -- A training tank that got pressed into full service because the Germans couldn't stand to stick to their own build up timeline and Invaded Poland before all their service tanks were finished.
Amazing to see this engineering surviving for so long - Looking forwards to seeing this beauty running.
300k subs for you guys!!💥💪🙌
How close is the running gear of the and the Carden-LLoyd-derived, "Universal Carrier" from Britain?
Hopefully it will be up and running for when I come back in 25 so I can have a ride n it 👍👍
We’ll just make one out of a piece of 50mm 😮.
As you do! 😂. Love the matter of fact way they treat these problems 😂
This is going to be a great series , the quality here is outstanding
Very nice , heavy duty spanner 🛠️ you improvised , worked very well ! Will be very interesting to follow this build ! 😎
It's amazing how much rubber and grease is used, given Germany;s severe shortages of both.. --Bob Bailey in Maine, USA
Panzer 1 is one of my favorite light tanks
I really enjoy your videos, thank you very much! Sourcing original parts is regularly mentioned, it would highly interesting to see a special video about how you to that practice! Thank you very much
One of my favorite things is seeing what new piece of history you fellas are about to restore. Thank you for your dedication and hard work in bringing these beauties back from the heap!
Sound like an interesting project to look back at how one of the first "modern"/post WW1 tanks were constructed.
Wow! Panzer 1?? This is going to be a great series!
I love when you start a new project almost from scratch 👍
What an awesome project 😅
So skilled, you guys .... Thank you all 👍👍👏👏😃
And again I am amazed and delighted by the skill and pure artistry of the team! ALSO, huge credit to the videography crew, to get such clear, close shots of work in progress. Everyone has to flow as a team to pull it off.
If I ever get to Oz, this is a solid go-to!!
I jussi. Found your channel a few weeks ago and been binge watching everyone I could . You have some really amazing fabricators . It just amazing to me that Darrell where’s shorts . That would never go here in the us . OSHA regs and safety . No welding leathers either . Keep up the job your doing 22:06
I love these videos and can't wait each week for the next one!
Could you guys elaborate on how the pandemic and the current war(s) are affecting the parts supply etc for your builds? I love every video you guys bring. If I will visit Australia in the future you are on my bucketlist ❤
Nice... This is going to be a good series.👍 I love early war tanks.
That hull seems so tiny, I want one to run around in the back yard. :D
Have a look at the fiat tankette
Even smaller!!
I love tankettes
@@joey243win
This is sure to be a fascinating build 👍
Wonderful video, as always. You're a special group of folks. Visiting Aus Armour is on my bucket list. That and Mt. Rushmore.
That was a good knock, you put on today
One of my favorite tanks. I’ll be watching every episode!
The last time this was opened was 90 years ago ...
About a minute before I thought the same thing.
Amazing stuff. Keep em coming guys !
So excited for this; can't believe you were able to get that much original stuff.
That drive hub part could be hydroformed over a mandrel, and there'd be a nice explosion to boot.
What a great new projekt you got there.
This is literally one of my favorite channels to watch. As always, a big thank you to all the people that help bring this channel and museum to life. Cheers from Canada.
Fun & Games! Back in the day, I would have leapt at the chance of a job like yours! Lots of old, heavy gear & lots of head scratchin! A couple of workshop tips, if I may, from a retired dozer / heavy vehicle engineer (you might already know them). The single best bearing drift I've ever used - still using one now - a length of 1/2" key steel. I never found anything that worked better. Eucalyptus oil works well on seized parts, especially on Morse Tapers. The latest inclusion in my workshop is cheap shop tyre shine. Brilliant stuff for most tight fitting rubbers & plastics I've encountered, when you need to fit or remove them without damage. Keep up the great work, lads. Next time I'm up that way I'll be popping in to see what you're up to.
25 seconds in and I'm stoked :)
Hydro on the final drives seems pretty smart with the right industrial Lego pieces it might be a bit easier to get parts.
as always, looking forward to this so much :-)
your museum is high on my bucket list. so cool to have so many authentic historical artifacts!
Wow! It is a little surreal to watch a man just lift up a tank road wheel without even grunting in exertion. This is exciting. I already enjoyed Workshop Wednesday but I feel like this project is gonna be special. I’m super glad your’e making it a runner.
It really makes you think when that tank was last in pieces the world was a very different place, I'm looking forward to the rebuild.
Love the " extra " tank in the background.... LOL..... A dream garage/shop.....
It’s amazing to see how you guys are dealing with restoring of old army vehicles.
Send you love from the Netherlands
There's something so amusing to me about using a model hull to compare to the actual hull. Love the videos guys keep up the great work!
Gotta love Dazza torching off bolts with all that molten steel dripping down while wearing shorts! Somewhere, an OSHA bureaucrat's head exploded.
There is one of these in Serbia at the World of Tanks museum Belgrade in a big castle with lots of other rare stuff. It's pretty complete externally. I was stumped when I first saw it as I'd never knew they were a thing. Such a weird design, anti infantry but the smaller AT guns of the time had no chance against it.
Those lock rings are just like the ones on my 51 ford 8N tractor rear axle nuts.
I have the 1/6 scale Pz.Kpfw II Ausf B by Dragon. It's one of my favorite AV's of WW2
Keep it up, mates!
🎖️🏆⭐🤗🙏🇺🇲
Thank you for sharing
Fascinating
