A Day In The Life Of Mr Hewes [ T-34 T-72 Centurion FV4005 Chieftain Foden ]

[@ianbarnes6266]

For an angry little fella Jack drives a 360 pretty darn well but in all fairness he some like a really nice guy ! But then again your all a great team and good friends, that's seen in the dynamics of what you all do, keep up the bloody awesome work.

[@johnhammond9455]

Jack seems like a decent chap and can eat with his hands without help. Joe has the hands of a concert pianist, can manage a knife and fork and drinks wine. Adam is the one you need to worry about. He has no boundaries and if he's in the mood anything could happen.

One of the best channels on KZbin. The humour between the lads . The tanks . Just everything is brilliant to watch . Always looking forward to more videos

[@Spartan902]

I agree! The highjinx from the guys makes the channel. Plus Ted of course.

[@brianwillson9567]

Ted is very lucky to have such a knowledgeable, dedicated, hard working team following his every instruction.

[@2dogsmowing]

Dedicated and hard-working, I agree with. Knowledgeable is a different story. The willingness to learn is high with this bunch, and video makes it look as if they know more than you think. 😅

[@2dogsmowing]

@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ watch their Q and A video. You do realize that they are self trained and have no formal schooling. It's all been hands-on experience. I was just making a goofy joke. And Mr, Hewes says it in their videos all the time about not knowing shit about the machines.

@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ True. It was better in my head I guess. Lol

[@juststeve5542]

I still can't believe you got all that concrete out of the Chieftain, and there it is moving under its own steam and sounding great! Almost as good as the Foden!

[@86abaile]

I see you've strategically placed the chieftain next to a gutterless roof to ensure the maximum amount of rain will be diverted straight onto the top of it.

[@willtricks9432]

Get five old cattle grids and lay them side by side by the new hardcore pile, would make a good tank washing bay and save more mud in the yard.

[@chrisprobert6]

Nice idea. Considering steel type, one of strongest recipes for steel. Can they be easily and cheaply acquired? 😅

[@mitchellbennis9236]

If they could sell all the mud they have around the compound, they would be in the pink!

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

@@mitchellbennis9236 That's an understatement!

I have a friend who was a tank driver stationed in Germany in the '80's. An associate of his took a turn too sharply and collapsed a bakery.

[@safn1949]

When I was there in the 70's someone took a turn, and the gun tube went in a window and pulled the side of the house off, also B68 had a drunk driver hit him head-on, that was the blade tank. That also was the end of the drunk driver.

A day with nearly all the Tonka toys out. The AVRE and 4005 are looking great. The new fabricated bits look exceptionally good.

Always a good day when the Foden comes to play. For me its the best bit of kit you have in your yard.

[@carlwilson1772]

You all work hard. It's very impressive. But you are doing things that you clearly enjoy in the company of people you know well, and you all care about each other. Doing something you enjoy as a job with the people you love. That has to be the definition of a perfect work life.

[@alanbates1471]

Ted in the pond, what do you expect, he is part Labrador! Great video though, get the impression there's very little you lot can't do!

[@RupertBear412]

the thing people who haven't been around tanks wont appreciate is how much he ground shakes when one drives by and the full effect of the noise and shaking is actually a physically draining experience - and when one fires close to you, the noise/shock wave is a physical assault!

As it is if one is in the turret. Stay in school kids, don't be a tanker.

[@thelonemoomin]

The yard looks much better, alot more like the 'Junkyard City' than the 'Bog of Eternal Stench'. 👍😁

[@paulfarghi]

A little suggestion... Why not purchase some caravan towing mirrors that can clip on to tanks so when manoeuvring in reverse you have some more confidence that you're not going to twat something of value. Or invest in some Bluetooth/ WiFi cameras to clip to tank for same purpose. Great videos btw

[@HailHydra27]

Thats an idea. You could mount them to some serious magnets and just throw em on when you need them

[@johnsperka2253]

After enjoying many episodes of your fine show-I have a map of your farm growing in my head. I think if you had a game maker create a game based on working on tanks and moving them around- I know I’d buy it! Plus- a combat mode where players fight with tanks/ fight to repel battery thieves and the like- the possibilities are endless!

[@skeeterbuildsit6016]

Look great! That’s going to be way nice to have roadbase all over no more mud

[@PumaTwoU]

I'm not one bit surprised about the routine work of moving items and making spaces. Organizing your materials which are large and heavy makes total sense, you can't be fixing things right without knowing where your items are. Looking forward to FV4005 work and then T 34.

[@steve45]

Yard looking so MUCH better!!! Amazing what a little reorganisation/spring clean and some hardcore can do. Careful now, people might start to think you have a semi professional operation running here! Nice progress with the projects too. Looking forward to seeing the FV4005 take shape as it gets reassembled.

[@jimrichards3916]

The most valuable vehicle in the British Army......The Foden Wrecker. What would you do without it Joe!

[@markhorrell9213]

This is just a suggestion ok...but putting a gutter on the roof near the cheiftain would divert unwanted wet areas reoccurring l beleive. I know you're a busy bunch of blokes n it's probably down the bottom of a never ending list of jobs...but put in a rain water tank n it could be used for washing down gear? Either way l always enjoy watching you blokes n cheers from an aussy,

[@Skidderoperator]

Pressure washer needs water. They won't be tracking nearest much mud in after the rock. So the pressure washer won't get used as much.

it makes me wonder, have you tried to set up a proper Red or Victorian Brick road/paving on the tracks that are mud, would save some time on having to resurface it and all you would have to do for maintenance is spray of the mud that gets in it with the jet washer and replace any bricks that have been damaged.
