Before this channel existed, the internet would have insisted on that his work would've only been possible with access to extremely sophisticated manufacturer-level machinery and knowledge. But here he is in his shed, with a hacksaw and a hammer. Turns out, brains, patience, a steady hand and perseverance together still make THE most amazing things happen. This channel is one of the truly inspirational channel that make KZfaq worthwhile. I work in the midlands motorcycle industry and I had the plan to ask the master if I could meet and was wondering if would ever let anyone in on his secret. Then this channel came up answering more questions that I would've ever dared to ask. Such a gift. Thank you Mr. Millyard for sharing this well-deserved memorial to yourself.

I've seen this situation before. You make it look actually achievable to do with simple tools. That can be very deceiving, because it takes a lot of patience to get out all those small bumps, looking all nice. I've done it, and ruined a few bits to get there. The thing that impresses me the most, is that there are no boundaries or limits to what project you start. And then finishes it with excellent results. The vision to start, and the patience to finish is something I look up to in awe.

Imagine the skill it takes to hit "dislike" on Allan's vdieo. Wow I'm impressed.

Nothing beats watching a man in his shed drinking tea and eating cakes producing works of automotive excellence.

From panel beating, through cup cakes to hedgehogs. I love everything in these videos.

What, a gripping video-I was riveted to the screen from beginning to end, including the section covering the production of cup cakes, the supervisory pigeon and the hedgehogs. I confess that I was a teeny bit disappointed not to learn how the screen was made, though.

Somewhere in Japan, an 85 year old retired Honda worker looks on with great satisfaction, watching Allen replicate his work of the 60’s

Thank you Alan enjoying your videos ,and your wife’s beautiful cupcakes look amazing

When I watch your work Alan I know I'm having a masterclass in engineering, never too old to learn!

He made this upper fairing again just to show us how! Liked and subscribed sir. Thanks

What is not to like.. Watching a master with a hammer shaping metal to precision, a baking lesson and a nature watch thrown in, all in the space of twenty two minutes.. Great video that kept me enthralled from start to finish..

Τhanks for the perfect video. You still have the clearest and calmest voice and it helps me understand what you are saying, I am also a motorcycle restorer and I love to see craftsmen like you .. all of you perfect technicians beautify youtube

Hagrid: You’re a wizard Allen Allen: I’m a what ? Hagrid: You’re a wizard !

You stated that you did a 4 year MoD apprenticeship as a fitter and turner around the late 70's , early 80's, I did also at Chatham Dockyard (As it was then). I watch your 'basic hand skills' and relate to them very much in particularly filing and the way you just do it precisely without any real 'thought' I suppose is the word. It's just done without any fanfare. Did you have the same first year as I did in 3 months filing, 3 months turning, 3 months general machining and one month each of hydraulics, stem and internal combustion engines. I think the MoD apprenticeships of that era were the most thorough in the UK at the time in all the trades they offered. I has stood me well in everything practical I do where 'how can I do this' mindset is instant, not like today where 'where or who can do this for me'...

Allen, it was mesmerising watching this.. so relaxing and your precision is something to behold!

I was like "What kind of equipment is he going to pull out of the shed now?" *Allen:* So, I have this wooden block and a hammer. That's how you know you're watching a gifted person.

when we glance at the ICHIBAN MOTO card, we can all see how serious Allen is. brilliant work. thank you for sharing this.

I’m very late to the party ! But loving all your videos. Well done Alan , keep them coming

Allen Millyard, you are an inspiration.

This is quite possibly the most therapeutic content on the Internet today!

Lucky enough to meet Alan today at Salon Prive, such a nice bloke. His Kawasaki 6 cylinder (the brown one!) would have won if he’d not been cheated into display only. Alan, you made my day, thank you.

Unbelievable work I have no words but keep doing what you do people should learn that nothing is impossible ❤

When Allen says it's perfect.......he ain't fooling around.

Filing aluminium must be one of the most hideous sounds in the world but that engine sound is one of the most glorious. You're a martyr to the cause Allen.

Holy Smokes! That fairing is a stunner.

This guy! Just incredibly talented engineer and fabricator. Nothing he can’t don

It’s all about perseverance....one step at a time....we have all become so lazy that we are not prepared to keep going and accept that it might not be perfect the first time. I love the fact Allen is so relaxed and as most with this level of perfection are really over the top and in your face.....the cup-cakes put it all into perspective. What a great role model for all of us.

My favourite KZfaqr, wonderful, just amazing.

Showing us some long lost skills - sheet metal forming and cake making! So pleased you've explained sheet metal forming to everyone Allen.

You're a very patient chap Allen.

You're truthfully an artist

If I ever get a lottery win I will be commissioning a bike of this guy he’s a friggin genius

Everything is made by hand and by eye, such skilled

That reminds me of the many happy hours I spent in the metalwork rooms at school. My teacher could see how much I enjoyed what I did so allowed me to spend my breaks, dinnertimes and even after school there. Can hardly believe that was 40 odd years ago. I've really enjoyed this series, your talent fascinates me 👍✌

"It takes ages, but it's worth it in the end". There's another mantra from the great philosopher Millyard.

In a world of 3D printers and CNC machining these videos are becoming motorcycling archaeology. This... time travelling is absolutely marvellous.

It's these videos that really inspire me to have a go. I've fabricated a few little bits in the past like number plate brackets and exhaust trims for the B-King, but seeing stuff like this explained well and being made to look easy give you that little bit more confidence to be more adventurous.

I don’t really have adequate words to describe what Allen does. I wonder if nasa should just ask him to design and fabricate their rockets and stuff? He may need a slightly bigger hammer or something, but it’d probably fly “just perfect” hahah. Thanks for yet another fascinating video Allen.

Brilliant job Thant definitely my favourite bike 😊

Hells yeah man, another Mr Millyard video, yippee 🙌.

Amazing work. I'll show this vid to my old dad. 88 years young He was a sheet metal worker specialising in fine limit work. All his work was by hand too. He's going to love this!

Allen, you made these parts just to show us how it was done? That must have taken days. Thank you for the demonstration.

This is a nice demonstration of ‘tin-bashing’. I did this on my first year C&G course, but after watching your demonstration I realise that we did only straight and flat structures, it would have been a far better course had we tried to make something like this, and since we all (or at least most of us) had motor bikes, making a fairing or fly-screen would have been a beneficial and useful lesson for us. Perhaps a missed opportunity!! I wonder if your videos could become part of the national curriculum for engineering skills? Thanks for posting this.

Tracy is the perfect wife she makes the cupcakes and doesn’t smack your hands or say anything bad 😂🤷🏻‍♂️🧚🏼‍♀️

For a while I thought there would be no cupcakes but then there they were!!!

Allen doesn't need an English Wheel. Far too complicated for a Genius's tiny workshop.

Thanks for taking the time to recreate the original build process. You are a true craftsman and artist

Great work! Fascinating process and serious knowledge; every day is a school day 👌

Ahhh, Bossing Hammer / Mallet . Go Tracy !!!

I am pleased to inform everyone that tomorrow i am starting the same built. According to my calculations, the bike will be finished between 2237 and 2245 - stay tuned!

Wow.....Genius at work here !.......fantastic work Allen,we're not worthy,lol.

Fascinating stuff, beautifully and humbly executed.

God bless you Allen

Pity my old neighbour isn't still alive. He was a sheet metal worker at RAE Farnborough and would have loved this video.

I bet you could make a nice King Arthur suit of armor with your skills, just perfect

Wonderful reminder of my machine shop training g at Avros Woodford at the start of my apprenticeship they taught how to saw,file,scrape ,and use milling machines,lathes forscrew cutting etc... Thank you!

It was a great pleasure to see how the master and his apprentice (Charlie Weaver) did this job. Stunning skill as always, thank you so much for making and posting this. Thanks always of course to Tracey for keeping Allen fueled with cup cakes!

Thanks Allen. Masterpiece bike and cup cakes.

It's just incredible that this fabrication was achieved by referring to a modelling magazine and such basic tools and of course the Sharpie pen. Wonderful 😊

What a pleasant diversion from fires and hurricanes in the US.

Those cupcakes look like they would fit just perfect..☺️

Wonderful skills on display, Allen Millyard where artisanry meets art. Thank you Allen, more please sir!

Allen you make it look like its making biscuits--and i can't even make actual biscuits! This is the best unintentional ASMR ever btw

I would say this is one of the more useful videos for me. I am a machinist and am used to taking defined cuts knowing what the result will be. It is also a task that most people could have a go at with minimal equipment. Well done.

Thank Tracey for her baking portion of the video, she's wonderful, cherry cupcakes. 😋😋 Thank You for taking the time to labor out the examples for us. Many of today's shops, English Wheel Planishing Hammer Power Hammer Shaping Station Shrinker & Stretcher Louver Press Anvil Wheel Allen Millyard, Vise Hand Tools Wooden Buck 👍👍🏁 Great to see you were able to have enough room to include a full release of the clutch at the hill climb.☺ Thanks to both of you for the sharing of and caring for the nature happening around on your property. ✝🕊

Allen makes it look so easy, but it’s far from easy, still I the cupcakes are the secret ingredient, Tracy is the real engineer 😂

Just in time for tea and toast this morning! Excellent as usual, thanks.

Loved the segment with Tracy making cherry cupcakes.... Nothing better after long hours in the workshop.

Perfect bank holiday watch. Cheers Allen

millyard viper v10 is a priceless masterpiece of art and technology 👍

Hi Allen, "Why keep make it simple when it can be complicated", such would be the Sir Allen Millyard's motto! I drink your words with a real pleasure, what an enjoyment to see a man so passionate about his work ...Thumbs up for your job! Can't wait the next one!!

What, no english wheel ? Simply impressive creative mind and skill set you have Sir !! Thank You for sharing !!!

A very skilled and persistent chap!

Just when I thought you were going to use your English wheel, you hand it to Charlie weaver and he knocks it out. What a guy he is.

You've used the model maker's guide book to construct a 1:1 model including working lights, brakes, motor and transmission. Everyone else's models are 1/18 at most and none of them have a working motor. 👏

Enjoying your videos so much. I fail to understand anyone not liking them. Surely if one does not like the video just switch off.

Amazing skill set Allen,thank you for showing us !!

Sir i am humbled, and blown away by your talent ,thank you for posting the PHYSCIAL,MENTAL,and MECHANICAL feats the rest of us mere mortals are not capable of ,CHEERS!

Beautiful work as always, thank you so much Allen, that was a joy to watch.

Allen is one clever bloke.

Is there anything this man cant do? Im impressed is a huge understatement 👍🏼.

Fantastic video.....yet again. Thanks very much.

Another masterclass in craftsmanship from Mr Millyard an strangely even ol Charlie showing some metal forming skills!thank you Mr Millyard for another great video👌🏽!

Thank you allen. watching you work is so relaxing and impressive at the same time.

Another great job. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

Im a big fan of all Allens video's. Especially the "Trumpton" type style of commentary. Brilliant!

Hi Allen, excellent video, amazing how you shape the aluminium sheet like that. Was thinking the "grass" workbench was not going to be used this week, but there it was, lol. Your skills just keep us all glued to your video's mate, a masterclass each one and the time it takes you to make them is very appreciated honestly. Roll, on the next one.! Cheers, Alex.

Great stuff, Allen. Excited to see the next episode!

Funny how you watch this and other Millyard videos and you find the common theme of how things turn out just perfectly fine for the great Milly (as his uber rich WASP Henry Cole refers to him). If any of us minions were to try and shape a sheet of metal into anything with a bossing hammer, I think the hammer will show us who the boss is. You make it look all so simple, what is never captured in any video is the time and effort of years of working at shaping metals etc that have gone into making things the Millyard way. Yes it is therapeutic even when watching you make things. Thank you sir for sharing.

Excellent stuff as always.

Absolutely amazing!

marvelous work there allen,as usual perfect viewing for us!

Another masterclass Allen, Beltin.

Brilliant just BRILLENT !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Allen !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allen, Space X will be needing a prototype for the first Luna MC. Excellent work sir, always a pleasure watching you build a bike.

A pleasure to watch as always Allen.

brilliant work. love watching your craftsmanship

Excellent job, Allan!

Hand drawn by eye.....sheer artistry!

Amazing, amazing. Cupcake fueled and Hedgehog supervised.
