Definitely need to see Alan build an electromagnet!!

[@robertdavis4901]

Yes we do!!!

This is now the only thing that I want to see happen on this channel. #BUILDTHEMAGNET

yessssssssssssss

[@truthseeker1427]

Agreed!!!

[@Poshwater]

yeah sounds like so much fun

[@iamshaun]

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!

[@dennisbigda9485]

He could pass Joe Walsh from a distance.

[@mr1ybbob3214]

He's the guy you call when you can't figure out something, just an endless supply of knowledge

[@brandonwilshire7837]

That welder is the bare minimum there’s nothing to it at 12 I could’ve have it running really not that smart

[@iamshaun]

@@brandonwilshire7837 You clearly don't watch his videos on his page.

[@CCRider5312]

That’s why Dave said he hired him was he was a wealth of mechanical knowledge. Allan’s compound up on that mountain is a junkyard every inventive engineer would love to rummage through.

[@LadySythe]

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!

[@matthumphrey4915]

started with the mountain top fortress find in the helicopter, Allen, up in his wizard castle!!

[@aydan3134]

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.

[@ktroyn]

I thought the exact same thing! What a dude, er, Wizard!

[@AdventuresofI]

@@ktroyn would love to hear Allans bio and how he ended up full of this knowledge and to come to own the compound

His mind really turns over and overflows

Which vid was that

[@andrewnevermind4902]

I missed that video! Cheers ears 👍

[@bradpound498]

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

[@rboston33]

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.

[@mikesamuels4494]

Still weird lol

[@ThePastaManCan]

hes my fav by far.

[@chetlockwood1491]

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 !!!!

[@capicolaspicy]

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

[@donlyons5279]

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

[@juneerasmus3485]

A lot about everything...no scary cat to try and fail, lots and lots of commonsense.

[@GregoryJohnston77]

You guys need to make a video and introduce us to the COMPLETE CREW. I'm talking a walk-through of the shop and introduce us to everyone, from the girls in the office to the way behind the scenes people.

[@kerrylewis2581]

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

[@muddypawsadventurer7775]

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.

[@fattmann7273]

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

[@mrmotofy]

But he still uses a computer and does CAD stuff

[@nada7.077]

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!!❤️🙏

[@daveschowengerdt2248]

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

[@davidclemens1578]

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

[@MacGyver2154]

Back in the day, they built things to last.

[@waynegnarlie1]

But really what could go wrong with it? It's just a big cored block of iron wound with >100 lbs of thick copper wire, a nichrome wire wound rheostat and a mechanical switch to select between the massive transformer output windings (voltage select) oh and a fan. The fact that the fan is working is what I find most remarkable here,lol.

[@mr1ybbob3214]

@@waynegnarlie1 only thing to go wrong is crackheads wanting the copper 😂

[@waynegnarlie1]

@@mr1ybbob3214 hahaha! The 20th century designers of the transformer probably never saw that coming. Would've sounded like a fable to them. "In the 21st century drug crazed zombies eat copper".

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

[@samaedo5341]

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

[@gregsecore9625]

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

[@CodyThierauf]

How cool would it be to do little shorts or smaller episodes of some individual projects some of the other guys are working on

[@onmywayup763]

They go for it on builds. Sure they have some sponsors on some things, but they do major Fabrication in shop. You should check out some of their builds.

[@IEATBOOTYHOLE]

Dog u realize they have a tv show called the disel brothers where they build all the crazy trucks

Great job Allen. Everyone needs a welder.

[@kathleenkoch9993]

Everybody needs an Alan in their lives! The man truly seems to understand, and be able to manipulate, everything. Are we all sure he's just a wizard? Me thinks he is tapped into the the akashic field for knowledge and application of said knowledge.

[@jeffreymagyar3990]

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

[@bigyin1690]

Think he's a 60/40 ratio

[@eiccaw]

Entry level to get Wizard degree is to be a Mad scientist and then after years of learning you can graduate a Wizard level.

[@DJ-GEMINI-INDIGO]

The mad wizard scientist❤😂 🦹‍♀️👀

First things first loved the brave little toaster comment brought back fond childhood memories. Second Alan is just awesome, he is not afraid to jump in there and do whatever on a whim but at the same time he is a planning man. I loved seeing him hold off and go back and try to figure out what was needed. Then he surprised me when he gave up on saving something and cut it off instead, way to go Alan

[@BigRonRN18]

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.

[@wjadam815]

No way is Alan only 100 years old.

[@remington8917]

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 !!!!!!

The Wizard indeed. Allen. You are the reason I watch this channel. Do you offer apprenticeships? For real I want to learn. My dad was a Wizard and is dead. I was chased away from my home from abusive siblings. So. I never got my chance with my Wizard dad until he was 9 months away from the afterlife. Well. Allen. Me and my hippo headed, mush mouth, five brow, high tail, shar pei, Ari, would like to come for our lessons in Wizardry. For real. The rest of you guys are awesome too. Allen is just so much more. You know that and thank you for watching his back 40. Blessings to you all.

[@ronhiegel7853]

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.
