The man is a genius...I could watch him for hours.

who spotted Alan's magic hacksaw

Genuinely love Alan, met him briefly once a couple of years ago and he was so nice, humble but has an unbelievable talent, people like him deserve to do well in life. Top man… go Alan 👍👍👍👍

Had a chat with him at a show many years ago pleasant chap made his son a mountain bike with a gearbox so the gears never got covered I. Mud he can make anything engineering genius

My workshop is a similar size. No real engineer wants a posh new toolkit, as you suggest, because then you would have to modify, and adjust them all to do what you want. The first lathes, mills, and power tools had to be made from basic tools, they didn't just appear. In 60 years of engineering, I learned to avoid people who had new, clean expensive, and unused tool kits. They try to compensate for their lack of ability with complex tools. The more you understand a discipline, the less complex equipment you need to carry it out. This applies to mechanical, electronic, software, and all engineering. Allen's most valuable attribute is that he is well grounded.

At 2:19 he said he had a decent vice. Well, actually, he doesn't - it is a very ordinary plain vice. What Allen owns in his tiny workshop is nothing much. What he has in skills is amazing. More than makes up for lack of equipment.

Just goes to show what hand skill is capable of. Its all about practise practise practise. Ive worked with some experienced trademen when i was an apprentice whos handskills shock me to this day, and that was close to 20years ago.

Allen, Allen, will you be my dad ?😂

A genuinely top bloke

Not a computer in sight 😂. Just skill.

A true Craftsman without a massive engineering workshop loaded with many expensive machinery.

After years of small or no workshop space I now have too much room… but I can just my more machines now!

Good old Allen !!! 👍 💯

"a bad blacksmith blames his tools"

I watch Allan all the time he is a legend and Genius he should be Knighted 👍😊

It may be small workshop but the results that come out of are out of this world. What a top bloke. A dying breed, we should concentrate on training more youngsters to carry the magic on.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, JUST SHOWS ITS THE SKILL OF ALLANS HANDS 🙌 & BRAIN 🧠 RATHER THAN THE MACHINES . ALSO WHY MOST MOTORSPORT ENGINEERS AS FROM GREAT BRITAIN 🇬🇧

A certified genius and I use that word very strongly that can build great motorcycles in an area the size of a prison cell 🏍️🛵 he just shows you you don't have to have fancy lathes and all kinds of tools to build great motorcycles are vehicles in that case and actually there's two shows he has a great wife that sure can bake some great baked goods

I was told, by my team leader your a fitter, make it fit!

Autism at it finest. Well done Allen.

Great garage, reminds me of my grandads garage, small, everything has it's place and achieved alot in a small space. I expect a lot of this expertise will be lost in the UK in a few decades as this generation leave the earth. I am a little younger than Alan, my secondary school had all the best gear, lathes and drills really big high quality British made machinery. Never got to use it, I think by then it was deemed too dangerous to use. No chance of finding this stuff in a secondary school now. Schools need to bring back some of this stuff, boys would have an interest in it if you could get them off their phones and computers.

I was there at that Staffordshire show - I remember speaking to him about what he was doing. He kindly helped my friend measure a barrel he’d bought.

Very clever man 😊

A TRUE BACK STREET HERO 🤣🤣🤣

An amazingly bright young chap! 👍🤠🥳

Love the guy and he’s a genius.

My workshop is about the same size, with the same machines. All I lack is the ability to get my arse in gear and get on with the job.

One day his hacksaw will be auctioned off. No other hacksaw was used so regularly to build engines.

WOW !

Could you imagine what this guy could do with a CNC And some room.

Legend !

I have been doing metal work since I was 12, I’m 73 now and the things this fellow makes and does is AMAZING. Genius

Welding those crankcases together is a highly skilled job! Even more skillful, without a pretty substantial TIG set, and a largish oven for pre-heat and post cooling! A miracle worker indeed!

Is that by any chance an Elliott Omnimill? If so I have the same lathe as you (Colchester Bantam) and milling machine. :)

My father was a tool maker and taught me "theirs no such thing as carnt" we made many things in our little garage and Ive lived by those words.

He always gets there in end...usually with one of Tracy's cupcakes in his belly.

Allan is a national treasure!

I'm amazed his wife allows a bike in the lounge/dining room!

🤩🇺🇸👍👁️⚖️⚖️👁️ Don't forget old Charlie Weaver👍🇯🇵🏁🏁🏁

Imagine what this guy could do with a large workshop. We'd already have been to mars!

Genius, simple as that.

some man for one man.genius mechanic.

Genius. No other word.

Basically he’s as tight as a ducks

Allen Millyard, showing shed-dwellers everywhere how it can be done. What an inspiration.

Allen is a true craftsman.

I'm well pleased with this

Blimey someone needs to explain to that interviewer how to interview people. He just keeps interrupting him.

Such an unassuming nice bloke, and an absolute genius!!

How many fibres were in that clutch was it 9 or 10 ,mine has 9 ,but the clutch kit contains 10 ,I can't fit the 10th one as there is no room
