The Honda 50, a gift that keeps giving, long after it stops running. Thank you for sharing this process Allen.

[@bikesmith]

There's something very Zen about your videos, I can't get enough.

[@animalian01]

Thanks Alan 2 videos in a short time your spoiling us

[@derekcomer4858]

Allen is one of the most incredible engineers I’ve ever watched, it seems to happen as if by magic.

[@deathmetalsl]

Every time I watch Allen work I have pick my jaw up off the floor. This man's expertise and dexterity is not of this world!

[@panosgamithis8868]

I just love the Vintage Hacksaw... Heaps better than the stuff we buy these days...

[@superdave2403]

Absolute freaking genius ! Allen is the man when it comes to being different!! Dude uses a hacksaw like a laser!!

[@Livi_333]

I’m always still amazed how straight he cuts lines with a hacksaw.. doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult.. but it can be. Dude makes cylinder heads with a hacksaw, a file and a welder

[@CONEHEADDK]

You need a better saw. Something very rigid. It helps a lot.

[@K1lostream]

I still have my hacksaw from when I was an apprentice - its called a Sandvik and it's made out of box sections. A good hacksaw and good technique gets you straight cuts. Practice makes perfect, but I'd recommend keeping your wrist fairly rigid, let your elbow do the flexing, don't put too much pressure on the blade, let the teeth do the cutting and if possible, keep your blade as close to parallel with your cut-line as possible. You usually have to start the cut perpendicular but once the groove is established you can shallow the angle out. With all that said, I have never cut a cylinder block in half with a hacksaw!!

[@Livi_333]

@@CONEHEADDK true, but it’s not something I do a lot of anyways. I’m a aircraft sheet metal guy by trade so it’s mostly shears and bandsaws for what we work with. Still, Millyard is a skilled dude

[@CONEHEADDK]

@@Livi_333 Even the best tools can turn "a tool" into a skilled craftman, as much as the best dress can turn "a pig" into "a fox". NOT that I'm calling you a tool at all. We all know the "it takes 10.000 hours of doing something, to become "a pro"", and sheet metal working is a far more impressive skill that "just" cutting straight. I remember Rick as more or less the only impressive guy in the OCC tv series, and that was the first time I saw sheet metal forming. "Funny" how little "hype" craftmanship educations got, when I went to school, but maybe the teachers believed, that those kinds of jobs were for those, who couldn't make it in higher educations.

[@firsteerr]

o was taught at school (back when you did metal work ) that you stand in a certain way to cut metal at the vice

[@shawnomack3927]

Allen is the master on these old bikes, a true craftsman. He's teaching a whole new generation the dying art of benchwork through his videos. Allen is a surgeon with a hacksaw.

[@jacklav1]

That’s unbelievable. I want a t-shirt that says “Millyard Motors- I tried it and it fits perfect”

[@AllenMillyard]

I will try and get up some new designs over Christmas

[@prostwest]

@@AllenMillyard Don't forget "I'm well pleased with that." It warms my heart to hear.

[@minnesotatomcat]

You are an absolute wizard with a hacksaw and hand file, and pretty much everything else you touch. True craftsman 👏

[@drott150]

We are cursed to live in a time that must bear witness to the demise of the west. But at least we have this channel to soften the blow and remind us of the better things we once had. Thanks to Allen and his wonderful wife - I have no idea where you found her in this day and age, but you are a lucky man. 👍

[@Marty-Mc]

Cheers Allen, nice xmas present for us, 2 video's in the space of a week, have a great time and don't eat too much cake 😉👍 btw, one day that Hacksaw will be a museum piece 😁

[@diegoribba]

You're an inspiration. Not only because of your skills and talent, but also because of your modesty and how you involve your wife on your videos. keep up the good work!

[@chrischappell9824]

Honest Allen, my head hurts when you finish fabrication and it looks like it belongs and how it should have been out of the Factory. It's outrageous!!!! As always top work Allen.

[@mikewalker1885]

Simply wonderful. In 100 years time people will watch these videos and be astounded !

[@47MasoN47]

The way you bend that aluminum without any special jigs or tools is really impressive, it lines up so perfectly it looks like it was freshly cast from a new mold!

[@danielson9579]

My young son who has autism loves watching your videos he goes all calm and becomes mesmerised thankyou 🙂👍

[@AllenMillyard]

That’s brilliant, say hello to him from me 🙂

[@CONEHEADDK]

Hope he has access to tools. My dad let me use his wood carving knives at 5 yo, and all machines except the stationary table saw from pre puberty, and I have never meat anyone, who's better with tools than me. Your kid could become a genius of some kind. Best wishes

[@johnwelburn9966]

It's great watching Allen working with his hands and basic tools he is one of the most talented people I have seen,everything he does is explained perfectly

[@ukurtlele1494]

Your videos never fail to impress or entertain. I actually checked on the play bar 3/4th of the way through and thought to myself, damn it, this is going to be over soon. Thanks for being an island of calm inspiration in a sea of madness.

[@Ralph2]

The way Allen marks stuff up looks so casual, yet the results are always perfect. Me, I spend hours with vernier calipers and thin scribes double and triple checking everything and once I've carefully bent it all up, it looks nothing like I wanted 😂

[@areyouundoingthatorwhat9181]

Yep,sometimes you can overdo it,I spent ages once jigging out a particular bracket for some Brammer belt drives idlers which then got lost at or en route to the platers,the replacements I heated,bent and shaped in the vice in about 2 minutes each with a big copperhead and they were better than the first ones too😁

[@bryandickerson5365]

Just once, I want you to experience my world where I say things like - “It’s all finished and polished and it fits….OK, I guess” I’m convinced that the secret of your success is total mastery of the hacksaw. You should write a book called ‘Zen and the Art of the Hacksaw’. PS - I totally agree about being in the shop at night (great visuals)!

[@garymarklein4550]

Totally amazing you are a true genius Love your work your attitude and your wife's cooking. But what I see most is you could be making millions of dollars working for somebody with your intelligence but you choose to live humble life at home doing what you like to do keep on going Alan you're awesome hope to meet you someday across the pond in Detroit

[@greghenderson6011]

Favorite channel hands down. I enjoy the smooth and natural delivery from Allen. I admire his skills and look forward to each new video!

[@jiltedjohn9294]

Old school skills are becoming a lost art, superb to watch.

[@MM_in_Havasu]

More of your excellent work, using a hacksaw, some files & sandpaper, your eyeball and your TIG welder. Allen, there is no limit to your fabrication skills! Cheers and a happy holiday season for you & yours.

[@barryrudge1576]

Allen your video's are always fascinating to watch. The knowledge you carry in your head of numerous motorcycle makes and models is way way above average

[@menom7]

LOVED watching this video Allen!!! Well done Sir! I always enjoy watching your work,using your "old-school" tools (buffing-machine,vices,hacksaw,metal-files,etc.) That alone gives your watchers,motivation use those same tools and do things by hand!!! Brilliant!!! :-)

[@paulhall170]

Thanks again, Allen, it's always a pleasure to open up KZbin and find your latest masterclass!

[@oscartravis5740]

That was a work of art. It just shows what's possible and how you don't always have to trawl the world for the exact part when with a few simple processes, you can fashion your own in the comfort of your own shed, just perfect

We have a lot of bad things on internet these days. But thanks we have people like Allen "Zen" Millyard sharing amazing contents like this. Even the name sounds so poetic for a super talented craftsman... I´m a DIY guy with some talent and some tools...but sometimes even a straight cut is a challenge for me!!! But I´m learning. Video after video...and hours of practice. I´ll also adopt a poetic name to try do something amazing in my garage...as long I´m from a metric place...therefore my name will be Phillips Lathemetre.

I think you're just taking the *iss out of us now! Most of us couldn't cut straight with a hacksaw to save our lives. Alan? Well Alan rotates it 90 degrees and still cuts it straight....True master, love the vids!

[@steveclark..]

I also fabricate and make parts from scratch from time to time, this guy is on another level, makes it look so easy. Allen, here's an idea for you, how about a series of 'how to videos' to help us to try to get to your level? Knowing where exactly to clamp sheet plate before bending for example,.....how you got that shape to match exactly is beyond us mere mortals I feel.
