Workshop Wednesday - JAGDPANTHER RESTORATION Ep. 5

[@leonardusgroenendyk6027]

Thanks for making my Wednesday chemotherapy treatment more bearable.

[@keithgarland3404]

Hang in there pal. I was given the all clear after radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Hope it goes ok for you.

[@leonardusgroenendyk6027]

@@keithgarland3404 I have hung on with this rare slow growing cancer for 10 years but things are going south. But that is okay as the three ex wives were worse!

[@nomaambundy9989]

Bless your heart, I hope for you and your family the best.

[@edgarfigueroa8860]

Get well soon

[@scoutdogfsr]

Dang. God bless brother! Hope and prayers to you.

Nice to see the front hull shipped from my hometown to Australia... My grandfather told me that there was a huge tank factory in Berlin-Reinickendorf. But actually they did not produce the Jagdpanther... Maybe they made parts of the hull. He also said that the tanks have been test driven down the streets after they came out of the factory. Greetings from Berlin Edit: I ask him one more time... He said that a factory in Potsdam produced parts of the Jagdpanther. Then they brought it to the factory in Berlin... He is 99 now... and still knows a lot of stuff from WW2. He served from 1941 - 1945 ... POW from '45 -'49

I'll never tire of seeing the amount of detailed work that goes into these restorations.

[@iatsd]

You think doing a fairly basic pig weld is "detailed work"?! Shit, you're easy to please.

[@jb6668]

@@iatsd The level of metal bashing and welding displayed in this video is unimportant. Its the process showing the work needed to turn what is essentially piles of scrap metal into a museum quality piece that is interesting to me.

[@Jamiehello1]

@@iatsd Whats your You Tube link love to your work.

[@iatsd]

@@Jamiehello1 You think that work was "detailed"? And please don't try the "Only if you do it" routine, cvnt features: *you* don't build tanks so you've got no fvking basis to complain about people's comments. Or did you not think the logic of your post through? Probably not. Thinking, let alone thinking ahead, are probably a bit much for you, aren't they?

[@clintbonnett3449]

Glad you're back. Thank you for the videos. If I can offer an observation. When the gentleman was discussing the machine gun mount and explaining the damage and how it installs. Focus on the part being discussed. He was explaining all this cool info, but there were just a couple quick shots of the mount itself.

[@closeencounter07]

I agree. When a worker is explaining what they are about to do and why, you have to point the camera at their hands, not their face. We don't need to watch their lips move, but we need to see what they are explaining. Don't point the camera at their face until after they are done explaining what is going to happen.

[@james.black981]

Mechanical parts and mechanisms are absolutely best understood visually if your a layman. The more advanced can do it from descriptions, but understand that you guys want to highlight your people AND your equipment. Love the workshop videos

[@imdeplorable2241]

[@swagmanexplores7472]

I could watch this all day long and not get bored

[@russwoodward8251]

Ya'll are the greatest. These workshop videos show history and innovation in such a great way. Thank you.

[@markbehr88]

I take my hat off to everyone who works to restore these tanks and the person or people who fund it to make it possible. You have my utmost respect and appreciation.

[@petercliff4023]

It's good to be back! I donated my Panther road wheel to RAC Bovington Tank Museum and still miss it..

[@hyper-sloth]

Welcome back to 2022! Been waiting for a video update!

[@Mrtweet81]

Welcome back to 2022? Have we been in 2022 before?

[@DaiElsan]

That idler wheel restoration was impressive.

[@paoloviti6156]

I think you guys are doing a great job even to the point of rebuilding the damaged idler wheel. It is obvious that you are all highly qualified welders and mechanics! The old factory where this heavy frontal slab was found at the old Mercedes-Benz factory situated at Marienfelde about 30 km from Berlin. I'm impressed with your museum and looking forward to see the next video.....

[@Mick_A_Knuckle]

Yay, you're back! Loving the close-up shots of the tools and such, you're really stepping up your filming game Kurt!

[@SiloSoundStudios]

Hell yeah. Perfect. Its snowing like a mo fo here! Nice to see sunny AU

[@georgebottarini1788]

Thanks. What craftsmen you guys are.

[@123shaunstodd]

The welding and fabrication skills of these guys is amazing..

[@stevem3605]

I could sit and watch that man’s fabrication skills all day. What a resource for your museum! Can’t wait for next month for another video. Thanks.

[@nkirk8740]

I'm always in awe of the skills and knowledge these guys have in restoring such cool and iconic armoured fighting vehicles. A great watch, thank you. 👍👍👍👊✌️🇬🇧.

[@jeffreytan2948]

The work on that idler wheel is beautiful. Well done.

[@outhouse9451]

The amount of history going in to building just this tank is awesome

[@scottcrawford7310]

Fabulous work, i would hate to think how much each restoration finally costs, it must be staggering

[@damianbrennan2258]

Its good to c a good presenter like u mate good work and don't forget the boys in the shop

[@raycaster4398]

That panther at the '21 fest was sensational!

[@67daffy]

Especially from the CC.

[@horsebee1]

Welcome back to the new year. This has to be the dream job for a fitter which not only taxes their skill but also makes them think. No day after day mind numbing production work like hard facing for a week at a time

[@frankgaletzka8477]

Greetings from Germany Well done You all have very impressive workskills . It is a pleaure to watch your working Thank you for the Look behind the curtain . Take care Yours Frank Galetzka

[@andrewdowns3403]

good to see you are all back to the job at hand , it is always impressive to watch these mechanical beasts coming back from a pile of scrap

[@Zombine45]

Best two seconds of my life at the end!

[@davidbraxton1725]

Glad you're back,great craftmanship.

[@markw95]

Set each wheel up on a radial arm drill with arbor, bore out those inserts, puddle weld excess holes as well as original if require. Mount on mill with programmable DRO, index new holes on new material between original holes, set DRO, jobs done. Love tge work!

[@KPutubing]

Howdy from Sacramento! (CA, USA) Fascinating series and I can't wait for more!

[@keithgarland3404]

Really good to see you back. Your workshop content is second to none. All your guys have great skills. I enjoyed the details and setup used to fabricate / weld the parts. Well done.

[@Mick_A_Knuckle]

9:20 Wow, a brand new Jagdpanther part! Talk about rare.

[@HaksWalburghSchmidt]

Actually drove by the Museum in July on our holiday, but our time schedule and democratic vote didn't allow us to visit. Wonderful work and great video's. Respect! Made me even look at videos on welding. While I fundamentally non technical. Fascinating that metal is still so much workable. I wrote a book on gliders at Arnhem (Netherlands) during Market Garden (NO RETURN FLIGHT). Only tanks there were captured French Renault tanks.The airbornes knocked them all out or made them retreat. Incomprehensibly courageous. Isn;t this tank restauring very expensive?

[@alfredofernandez823]

Qué bueno verlos de vuelta, como siempre un entretenido vídeo. Saludos desde el otro lado, La Cruz, Chile.

[@affenrodeo226]

as a german, i am very proud about that our tanks get restored :D

[@whatTheFup]

randomly stumbled upon your channel, I have now binged the current Stug videos, watched your restoration of the Tiger 1, and with this Ive watched all your current progress on the static JagdPanther, very good content. Love that you actually take time to show the amount of work that goes into each detail. Love from Norway

[@neilfairless4589]

Welcome back boys. Monster effort on welding that tub up.

[@themichiganstugproject4727]

You all inspired me to make a 70 percent scale Stug. I begin this weekend.

[@TheEphemeris]

I think I've been checking in every Wednesday just to make sure I didn't miss an update. So chuffed that today y'all came back!

[@2islandresort757]

Terrific video, as usual. Great to have you back.

[@longdatedoptionsleaps6112]

So glad you are back 👍

[@bigmac60]

Great to have you back. Boy can that boy weld. He really got going at the end 😂😂

[@stevepringle2295]

What a blast to watch.

[@robheidel5627]

I love this channel. The host Kurt is likable type of guy. I was a bit sad to learn the Jagdpanther is to be a static display only.

[@philipgomez8145]

Welcome back everyone. As been said before. Glad your back 👍

[@yattaran1484]

Hell Yeah !. I've been waiting for this new post. So nice and interesting to watch rebuilding process of the idler wheel !

[@Gorff965]

Awesome job on that idler wheel!!

[@bolinfan1519]

Amazing footage of the welding at the beginning; excellent method for cutting the circular center sections out of the wheels; loved the repair of that battle-damaged wheel. Perfect music selections.

[@gernaneering]

Always interesting videos of these restorations not sure if that is the right word for this type of work that you do, only to say i love the reconstruction of these beautiful vehicles and yeah i know these were made for war and destruction, but now they serve to educate new generations mans creative engineering of over 70 years ago. i as like most people hate killing and war these machines do acquire an aesthetic appreciation despite the evil purposes they were originally created for conquering of Europe.

[@BlackCoinCrypto]

Been looking forward to you guys comming back after Christmas. BUT, please please for God's sake when then guys are discussing hole centers and work to be done on a part, or damage to a part please please show the part as they are explaining it. From a camera perspective I think it means follow the hands.

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

Superb fabrication as usual!!

[@jamesroseby3823]

This is the best reality TV on the internet. Love it!.Looking forward to seeing the progress on the Stug III too. What’s the chance of a Pzkw II turning up in bits somewhere?

[@Rusty_Gold85]

Should be on 7Mate a tv series !

19:17 Very nice repair on that idler wheel 👍🏻

[@shintokatana17]

I like how you are reusing relic parts

[@damianousley8833]

Seeing the amount of work to refurbish the components for a static display vehicle I can understand the French only using the Panther series for short time after the war until there were no more spares and then scapping the Panthers.

[@thomasbaldauf4967]

Wellcome back Guys and thank you so much for this great work !

[@nzmonsterman]

Great video. It really shows the effort, time, and skill that is being put into your restorations. And the front plate is very impressive.

[@Markus9511]

Like your work, at the WTD41 they have a running Jagdpanther and work now on a restauration of a Bergepanther

[@jasonfarrugia8833]

Loving these videos. Thanks for making the time to produce and post them 👍

[@mt1885]

Be interesting to see the 'field work tools used' behind the lines what size sockets/wrenches and other tools used.

[@zhufortheimpaler4041]

well, minus certain powertools like modern angle grinders or modern welding equipment like welders with internal feed, there has not much changed in respect to tools. The Maintenance Units had even so called "StraBoKran" - Straßen Bock Kran (Street Ramp Crane), mobile crane gantries with enough lift capability to lift the upper hull of a tiger.

[@kiwifruit27]

Great to see you back, love the progress

new subs here. flawless vid. Can watch it all day my dude.

[@Nick-kn5lb]

What cool job to have, restoring battle damage!

[@FrancSchiphorst]

Nice to see all the hard work. But a question popped up. Do you weld in a way that would be battle ready or are you "just" welding to get a solid frame? No idea if there are weld patterns that are better in battle conditions then others so maybe you know? Thanks!

[@petesheppard1709]

Is Jessie the only certified welder? He's an artist!
