Definitely need to see Alan build an electromagnet!!

Allan is a rare breed! Even as a quirky wizard, any shop would be lucky to have him, he is one of those guys you could learn a lot from!

Alan. He showed up out of the blue and suddenly became part of the family. Wouldn't be the same without the Wizard mad scientist haha Alan restore the welder!

man the story behind the Wizard still blows my mind. Random spot on a mountain that intrigued Dave and a series of events that let him be apart of the team still blows my mind. Such a good addition to the team.

When Allen was first introduced, I was really skeptical. He seemed weird. But boy, has he ever proved himself to be terrific. Hard worker, always willing to jump in and really perform. Great find in Allen.

The Wizard indeed....being in electronics and mechanicals for the past 50 years, I can appreciate your mind!

Best find Dave Sparks could have ever found when he got Allen to come to work for him. He knows a little about everything.

Come on Sparks Motors, this is WIZARD LEVEL WORK, write the darn check and buy the steel. You will never see this again, it's a once in a lifetime occurrence and Alan is willing to do it. Go Team Sparks !!!!

Sparks Motors is blowing up in a good way. Love this channel

I would definitely like more of this type of content, because I really thought there was other people building your bill and doing your work and you guys were just a bunch of guys with cameras. Now that I see the shop and people working in it I would love to see more of the hands on modifying And repairing some of the equipment

Go for it Alan, what he doesn't know isn't worth knowing, a walking encyclopedia of old technology.

I’m with Wizard, I’m clueless about that movie.🤣 Was anyone really in doubt that Alan the Wizard could get a 100 year old welder to run once again? What an extraordinary addition to the shop/crew he has been!!❤️🙏

Alan is a man out of time itself. His practical application of basic physics and understanding of surplus military equipment and their details, has me in awe at times. He doesn't burn brightly... he just burns all the time and gets the job done. A unique individual in a world gone mad... you guys are luck to have him.

Is Alan a road scholar? He always amazes me with not just his knowledge but he’s also able to fix most stuff. Keep up grt job alan

You are so good at being a WIZARD. I want to see more.

I think Alan's more of a mad scientist than a wizard

For the welder being as old as it is, it is surprisingly good shape.

Great job Allen. Everyone needs a welder.

Do it Alan!!! All wizards use electromagnets!

This was so entertaining. We need an update on his compound.

The wizards mind is crazy. Imagine looking at a pile of scrap and thinking I can make a magnet for my mini excavator.

No way is Alan only 100 years old.

Who doesn't want to see Alan make an electromagnet

A guy can learn a thing or two from Allen. The world need more men like Allen!

Can't wait to see what Alan does with this 😲🕵‍♂

That simply hands down has to be the best content Allen has ever done. I truly enjoyed it .

Build an electromagnet from an AC welder?!? Oh, hell yes!!! Do it! Do It! Do it!

Alan is truly a Wizard. I do enjoy the Alan content. Looking forward to the next trip to the Fortress as a team

I could watch Allen fix heavy equipment all freaking day!!! I actually learn so much.

Allan is the WIZARD!!! Do the magnet!!!

The wizard has done it again. Great job Alan. Love the shirt. Got to get one. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Thanks for the video stay safe.

You gotta love Alan! I am so glad y'all hired him. He is the star of this channel!

Alan, yer a Wizard! Definitely need some wizard shirts. He's always one of the best guys on the channel to watch. Good times bros.

I love the foot traffic in the back. It doesn't feel like a studio, but a shop.

Yes make the Magnet!

Dave must be highly entertained by Alan.😂

Yes we need a electo magnet build hahaha !!!!

Alan’s content is excellent

Lets get 10,000 likes on this video, and get the SPARKS team to Australia!!!

Definitely looking forward to the next video !!! Alan is my 3 favorite character in blogs !!! Keep it up Alan! heavy D must be proud to have you in he's team!!

Love seeing a Wizard in his natural environment.

IDK if this is a spinoff of Alan's channel or Dave's channel - truth is, wherever Alan is, there's something interesting and funny. What a GIGANTIC asset for the Sparks crew!

When I was a kid, I would watch my father arc welding with an old WWII-era welder. We grew up on a decommissioned WWII military base, turned boarding high school and the government left behind a LOT of equipment that the school continued to use for decades. The arc welder looked very much like the one shown here. Granted, the military base opened in 1938, so unless THAT base got it second-hand, that welder wouldn't yet be 100 years old now if it still existed. I am pretty sure that it has been scrapped many years ago now.

Allen is such a beauty the knowledge that guy has it unreal

Alan has a lot of things going for him 1st he is very knowledgeable,: he has an unusual, and rare amount of common sense., and I love his humor. I would love to see his electro magnet!

Yes let the wizard work his magic. He is amazing.

Ya'll are lucky to have Allan, this man deserves a raise!

Alan where are your safety goggles? Your a Bloody Legend Alan!!!

hey alan , you're the man.... keep in mind that to make an electro magnet you need to change the AC output supply to DC or else it wont grab cause of alternating poles .... best of luck ....

This was great, Alan is a cool guy. Love the old welding machine.

Cant wait to see him pick up stuf with a electro magnet

The old Hobart's where built to last!!! Based in Troy, Ohio. They were bought out by Miller. They still make small wire welders for Tractor Supply. Miller mainly bought them for Welding Rods and Wire. We have a Hobart Stationary grinder, it's bigger than a pickup axle! We also have a generator/welder, powdered by a 2 cylinder Wisconsin engine . And a Beta Mig 200 Hobart wire welder.

Alan's a lot of good entertainment and old school Very entertaining

The revenue from this mini-series will pay for all the materials needed! LETS GOOOOOO!

Alan is some guy. We all need an Alan in our life.

Alan you the mightiest Wizard of all things that are impossible until proven possible .

Allan knows a LOT! All the "textbook" stuff and a LOT of tricks. I am impressed 👍. This is high quality entertainment! Keep it coming... and remember to tell The Wizard, that he is appreciated.

Brave little toaster is a pure classic!!!!

YES! WHINE, CRY, WEEP, WAIL AND SOB, I'TS ALL YOU EVER DO!

I ordered the shirt to support the Wizard!

Let Allen build the electro magnet would love to watch that series!

Alan is a tough worker no matter what.

YES!! THAT MOVIE IS AWESOME. I loved it when I was a kid and now my kids love watching it to as well. 👏👏🤘🤣

Honestly, anything Alan is interesting in doing, i am here to watch it.

I fucking LOVE you guys man. The whole damn crew, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. The mechanics, welders, all the guys you never hardley see on the videos EVERYONE. YOU GUYS ARE ALL AMAZING.

Yes the brave little toaster was the best!

Love watching Allen confuse everyone and make something marvelous.

Alan is the greatest wizard alive ❤ his brain works overtime with inventions ! 😊

that thumbnail is killer! Alan the electrical wizard!

What a fantastic episode. Need Alan the wizard to do more projects. Do the magnet

Great vlog! No kabooms! Winners all around! Also so excited for all the great new merch including the Wizard shirt. I just got the sink or swim tee. Living on an island, ya know. Stay safe. Till next time🌺

Missed opportunity to have done a WIZARD HAT!!! Have a hat like Allen’s with cool branding on it.

The thumbnail alone is worth the watch

That video thumbnail was terrifying !!!!

allen is such an asset to both channels and Heavy Ds company, i hope he doesnt take him for granted and pays him what he deserves!

HELL YES!!! MORE MAD SCIENTIST ALLEN!!!!

Given that there is a solid state metal (selenium) rectifier in the welder (the finned object), I am not sure it is as old as you think, as the rectifiers were not invented until the mid 1930's and not in common use until some time later. I would guess the welder dates from the 1940's or even 50's.

I like it as a welder, that thing is built to weld HEAVY METAL! Good find Allen.

Duh, of course we want to see Alan do wizard things!

The Wizard is the absolute perfect nick name for Allan he is a valuable member of the sparks team for sure !!! Also as for the picture for the thumbnail of The Wizard, it is absolutely amazing and you should make one like that for all of Allan's videos !!!! But make them just a little different each time !!!! You know make him look sort of like the leprechaun from the dodge release video but as a Wizard not leprechaun !!!!!!

Yall always put a smile on are face's👊🙏😎

Alan needs his own series he is the best

Alan was a much more priceless find than the old welder for sure.

We love Alan!! He brings so much to the channel.

allan has quickly become one of my favorite members of the sparks crew, the knowledge he brings to the team is beyond priceless

Big love to Alan what a legend 🙌🤙✌️

Watching Alan get stuff done is therapeutic.

Great to see Woody Harrelson doing well in the shop.

Love me some Alan videos! More please!

Brave little toster for the win!

omg!... The wizard really can fix or make anything!....🤣

Alan is a real deal, he is the Man. We definitely want to see the electromagnet made by the Wizard...

cant belive they just stumbled upon this guy and he became a big part in all the vids now.

I would rebuild that welder and give it a new look and use it. Don't get rid of our history 💪🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸

wow I did that with an old welder of my grand pops when I was 16 he was trashing it and I took it apart and fixed everything so it worked again painted it and repaired the wiring as well I am 67 now and still have it and it still works god bless all

LOVE the shirt. Alan always has unorthodox ideas (That usually work!) and that's what makes him special. Unfortunately, you';re not able to ship to Canada right now. What gives?

The brave little toaster was one of my favorite movies as a child. 80's baby here.

Let Alan finish the Magnet !

My respect for thus guys he is a cool man that knows a lot

Ok Alan show us the Magnetic Master !!! Build that Electromagnet !!
