Thank you guys for restoring and saving history for all future generations! It's not about war and who's won what - it's about engineering at its finest for the periods that sadly was used for bad things. Saving history is about learning from the past, and if you're at the same time a bit of a tank aficionado like me and most of you here, then you're in for a treat watching our Aussie and Polish friends here! I only wish these videos were a couple hours each walking through the treasures at Panzerfarm, but every minute of it is awesome and I thank you for making the trip and the videos!
Some of the machine tools probably deserve an episode of their own. Fascinating.
Agreed
Yeah everything is done by computers now old school milling and lathes fascinating
You know they’re good just from Beau wandering with a grin on his face! What a pool of skills and from Michaels comments about cast in Poland supporting more local industries too. Their museum will be well worth a trip when they get it going.
This place is on my bucket list now besides AAAM and a few others.
When they said they might get their Tiger running one day, I thought they meant decades away. This is so cool. Imagine if we see it headlining Ausarmourfest in a few years.
Wonderful preservation of iconic historical machines! 👍
I will say it again, I just love Workshop Wednesday. Kurt & Beau, you both must have been drooling and smiling like children. I hope you took some shirts & caps for the Panzer Farm team. If it was me, I would be scoping one of their jackets. Great episode, Kurt your Polish is also incredible. Cheers
They really are the gatekeepers of history. Remanufactured parts and the efforts taken to deliver perfection
Verkshop Vednesday is my favourite day of the Veek!
😅😅😅
This show just gets better and better. This and last weeks episodes are awesome. Love how these Polish guys can turn out such high quality parts. Love this stuff!!!!
Greetings from Poland to enthusiasts from Australia
That is one hell of a teaser to finish with...full working Tiger I with newly machined engine parts? Think that might just top the list of requests for Aus Armor Day!
The plus side is modern metalcasting and machining is far better so they will last way longer than factory stuff. Given the shortage of alloys and metals the germans faced during the war it is impressive some of the stuff they got built
Wow, technology meets craftsmanship ... it looks like those chaps could rebuild a Tiger to be mechanically better than it was originally if they wanted to.
Thanks. All you grease-stained people are the heroes of my childhood dreams. I'm 63, and now have tears in my eyes from seeing so much dedication, search for perfection, pleasure and satisfaction. Wow.
It's really impressive how they combined ultra modern techniques like 3D scanning and printing with classic machinist skills to remake previously unreplaceable castings.
Old skills are slowly fading.
Love the schwimwagon, beautiful .
What an amazing place and an even more amazing bunch of people. Thanks for sharing it with us. 👍🏻🇦🇺
About 85 years ago, my ancestors unrightfully entered Poland and shamefully brought death and destruction, nowadays these guys from Panzerfarm as well as AusArmour restorate this technical stuff with absolute perfection. I hate the purpose, this machinery was made for, but I really enjoy and love the technical thing itsself. Thank you Panzerfarm and AusArmour for another wonderful vid.
Your ancestors were rightfully saving the lives of ethnic Germans who were being persecuted by the Bolsheiviks. You have been lied to by the victors, who write history. Be proud of your country and people. Even the US General Patton said; "We fought the wrong enemy." Germany fought with Christian honour!
I’m glad to see a mixture of young and middle aged craftsmen working on these pieces of history I’ve heard that machinist are getting fewer and fewer but your videos give me hope.
20 minutes a week is just not enough my friends. 😅 great videos guys, love it.
This was brilliant, those guys are incredible engineers.
When I did my apprenticeship back in 1970, our training staff had an Ex RAF W/O Engineer who had been out in the Libyan Desert. He would tell us tales of all the Aero engine parts he and his unit used to MAKE when supplies had not come through, Marek at 15:16 is the spitting image of him, and I could see that same look in his eyes like there is NOTHING beyond his skill ! A bit like your young Beau. I would PAY to watch Marek making stuff, as I bet he would be as hypnotic as your tea in their artistry. Our Mr Brewster would ALWAYS just have turning formulae in his HEAD as well as an almost unlimited memory of all sorts of heating temperatures for different finishes etc ...ALL before CAD and calculators, only with SlideRules. I'm so grateful YOU guys are keeping those skills ALIVE
What a gold mine you have discovered in this Polish engineering shop. Congratulations, may your collaboration with them deliver many more projects in your Smithfield Museum.
This is the coolest video I have ever seen - New Zealand
Wow ! There don’t seem to be adjectives appropriate enough for this episode ! Truly amazing shop and work ! Thanks for taking us along
This is art!
I really look forward to workshop Wednesday!!! I really wouldn’t complain if you guys decided to do two videos a week? One can dream
Thank you for bringing this content to us.
Thank you that you go out of your ways to restore and rescue all those awesome relicts
You have to have them over for a visit
Good to see there are places out there where a restoration specialist can go to get a few needed parts.
Tremendous work.
I can't believe I have to wait a whole week for the next episode!!! We need a Workshop Wednesday episode every day...LOL
Running Tiger1 FTW!
WOW!! ...side note: These guys do better in English, than I'd ever do in Polish! Great werk to these lads! Great work to AA&AM!
Proszę spróbować wypowiedzieć te zdanie: Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz, Chrząszczyrzewoszyce powiat Łękołody. Pozdrawiam 😉
LOL! ...Ummm ...no thanks!@@goosf5746
Those maybach engines were working so hard to push a tank that was usually 10-15 ton heavier than what they were spec’d for. That is so thin between the cylinders, no wonder they self ventilated so easy, aside from inexperienced drivers. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I'm surprised that they tried to make those V12 engines so small. I would suppose the newer tanks like the King Tiger and Panther would have bigger engine bays that it would not have been necessary.
Just take a proven aircraft V12 like the Brits did succesfully.
@@CarLos-yi7neThe Tigers would have been 60tons if they used a long engine like Meteor or the W2.
gets worse when you realize the block is aluminum.
@@murmaider2damn. I thought German engineers were smart. Lol.
Wonderful stuff. Keep up the great work people. 🙂👍
It's amazing to see the amount of metal, special alloys, castings, and precise machining that went into things that were eventually going to be destroyed or break down and be abandoned, sometimes not long after they were made. That really stands out when looking at power plants.
I'm out of words. The level of skill, time they spent: it's just incredible. Well done guys, you can be proud !
Inspiring stuff, guys, every single episode. It’s both humbling and a complete privilege to watch. Thank you!
Crazy met crazy :D
Happy wksp weds from UK, all those guys are so enthusiastic about what they are doing people like you keeps old machines and the skills needed to fix them alive . Long may that continue
Very cool !! Cross hatches in those cyl. sleeves are frigg'n beautiful !
Wow! Just "wow". Fabulous, thanks!
Nie znam angielskiego, uczyłem się angielskiego, ale niestety nie nauczyłem się w ogóle. Przyznaję się szczerze, że głupio jest nie znac angielskiego w jakimś drobnym stopniu 😔 Oglądam wasze wszystkie odcinki. Proszę w imieniu Polaków nie znających języka angielskiego, o pozytywne rozpatrzenie prośby o napisy do waszych odcinków. Jest to chyba jedyny kanał, który rzetelnie z humorem, ogromną wiedzą, determinacja, pasją przekazuje fascynujące informacje;) Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski!!
Wybierasz w opcjach "napisy-> angielski" potem "przetłumacz automatycznie" -> "polski".
@@MichalKaczorowski nie ma niestety tłumaczenia na polski na telefonie, ani na tv... 😥
Be safe, our Polish brothers!
@@MichalKaczorowski To tłumaczenie jest chuja warte.
Jeszcze kanał Tank Hunter sobie obejrzyj skoro cię pancerka interesuje. Co prawda nie ma u nich tyle warsztatu co tu ale projekty mają zacne.
Tiger 1 gets a Maybach!!!
Fantastic.
Wonderful Technical magicians from other continents,
I have been to Cairns and to Museum, and it was awesome and I am going again next year
Unbelievable fantastic effort maybe more Tigers will be operational one day.
These welds making me go bonkers, some serious skill on these lot
Awesome thank you 👍 👍
Proper engineer’s - well done 👍gents
The "secret" Panzer Farm project is the restoration of the Tiger I. It is very advanced, but unfortunately no reports of the construction are shown.
What an extremely important and talented crew they have here on the farm , amazing what can be done with technology and effort !
Mind blown seeing such skill and professionalism in a small place.
Fantastic series from Poland
Kurt, so you some Polish?? At least you learn " We have ways to make you watch"!!! He he he!!
Can’t wait for the Tiger 1 engine restoration video series for a Running Tiger.
Oh yea !!
Bravo great behind the scenes episode.
Really great stuff. Those Tiger engine would be handy in someones Tiger.😮
That is some amazing work they are doing. As a machinist I am still waiting for the machine shop tour.
Pretty good Polish for an Aussie!
This episode of your Polish visit is riveting guys. Beau looked as if he was in heaven lol. Can't wait for next weeks Polish adventure!
Mind well and truely blown!!
Awsome workshops and workers!,
Can't they make these vids a bit longer?
I wish they were open for the public!
Amazing!!!! Whish I could work there only a single minute.
That quiver in your voice (4:29): "There's two of 'em."
Kurt bardzo ładnie przedstawiłeś się po polsku :)
These guys have my dream job.
I knew it, I knew that tiger's gonna be back on track
I could spend days in a place like that
These Panzer Farm videos have been amazing, who wouldn't want to work there, everywhere you look, are more vehicles, parts and gifted and commited staff, great setup. Fantastic video.
This is so nice! I love the Polish mindset, to just get things done and done well 👌🏼👌🏼
Fantastic stuff! You folks are defining your niche perfectly in the burgeoning KZhead afv restoration scene. Your tie up with the Panzerfarm is totally on point, coming just as Joe Hewes & The Tank Museum begin their co-operative FV4005 project.
It's really nice to see the dedication and level of commitment from these craftsmen .
Amazing work 👍👍
Fascinating. 👍🏻
Greetings from Poland!
Wow absolutely amazing to see all these vehicles and parts. One can almost feel the passion of these guys and all of you to . It definitely is an eye opener to see how much is still around. Greetings from a German in Western Australia 🇦🇺
Wow, so interesting Kurt. Wish I was there..............
Kurt - very good polish language ;) Greetings from central Poland
Thank You
Thanks :)
Sat at 8.00 am uk time enjoying a coffe and a new workshop wednesday cheers both for another excellent video
It's the best part of Wednesday for me
Goes for me too , from Wales UK
This would be a great video to watch in the morning whilst having a coffee - a relaxing way to start the day. They get uploaded at about 16:30 here on the west coast of Australia, so I usually watch them whilst making dinner :)
Just shows how the australian armoured museum channel is loved around the world, seeing all the different time zones just makes you think who else watches them
@@welshpete12I in Herefordshire what part of Wales mate
Brilliant!!
man I am more than impressed wow I mean wow.
The name Tadek is sacred to Aston Martin lore. I would love to go the the PZ Farm and muddle about whilst on holiday. Would like to volunteer for a week and work at their shop. I used to go to the Jaques Littlefield Collection, and help out the restoration team. Got to work on a Panther, Goliath, and a Sherman. Wonderful workmanship and video series!
Absolutely astounding! I love Poland and the Polish people! And again, this is the best channel on youtube!
This place is absolutely amazing! I’m so glad someone has taken the time to research and restore these amazing vehicles.
WOW, great episode again!!!👍👍👍
Impressive! 🇫🇮🇺🇦
This place needs its own show.
Feverishly waiting for the next part...
The WW2 version of Jay Lenos Garage. Awesome crew and facility.
What top notch engineering despite not always having parts to copy. These engineers seem to be thin on the ground now unfortunately. Wonderful video...thank you!
I can not wait for the world to have another running tiger 1
Impressed👍👍
The cumulative skill sets of all the old boys in that video is humbling, mad respect. Worked on enough old war era equipment in my youth to know they are in a class all to themselves.
Chłopaki, ale duma! Autentyczna pasja, ogromna wiedza, ręce, które leczą bez ściemy. Ukłony głębokie, panowie!
