- In this video I am making the gearbox output shaft out rigger support bearing and extended sprocket for my four cylinder Kawasaki S1 550cc engine. This modification allows the engine to be re positioned centrally in the frame and for the chain to line up with the front and rear sprocket. Hope you enjoy the video
best regards
Allen
This guy makes us remember what we loved to do but never got around to doing and then takes it to a level we never could.
Well said!
Here here!!!
Im glad i dont weld in rubber gloves though, it hurts so bad when it melts into my skin!
@@datadavis I lost my heat proof welding gloves, so these protect from UV and im careful with touching hot bits
Just needs one rat to reorder the tools at night though
I love how he only uses relatively basic tools (in engineering terms) with no fancy CAD drawings or CNC machines. It makes it seem that any of us could do what he does. However I’m sure anyone watching this that has done any of this kind of work before would agree, Allen’s craftsmanship is other worldly. Honestly, who in their right mind would think they could cut through an engine casing straight and true with a HACKSAW?!?! Allen Millyard would, and I am in total awe 😎😎😎
It’s just a cooker and it cooks 🙈
Allen is fantastic, reminds me of the good old days when we repaired, not replaced, and were at the forefront of engineering
Just once I would like to hear him say "AND IT FIT LIKE RUBBISH, SO I BINNED IT" just so we know he is actually human. Great video Allen, keep em coming.
🤣🤣
I love the fact you almost sound suprised when you say "and it fits perfect." Does the metal not know who you are!!
Magnificent work Allen. Looking forward to seeing the next installment.
Does the metal not know who you are. Amen to that comment, had me in stitches. Never a truer word said
Next view bottom end so..
Showed my wife the Crankshaft video and now she's making the Christmas Cupcakes - Superb! Thanks.
Someone , in a previous video, asked how 61 people could possibly give it a thumbs down. My own theory is that they are unable to overlook the multitudinous "just perfect" and "really pleased" utterances which Allen is prone to making. Personally, given the unbelievable workmanship, so simply explained, plus of course Tracey's baking and the hedgehogs, all combine to far outweigh any negative thoughts I might have. So I say, carry on with your just perfect videos, Allen, I'm always really pleased to watch many of them again and again.
Besides being an incredible visionary and craftsman of all trades, you are a great and humble storyteller, giving us all the details of your work and processes. Thank you Alan.
I hope this inspires the younger generation to pick up some tools and start spinning the spanners themselves !!
I love watching a true master at his craft and you sir are a joy to watch, your engineering skills are magnificent and I love the fact we are right there with you as you make or weld each part because you always place the camera to give us a close up view as it happens, you are first class all the way my friend, can't wait till the next video, keep em coming please as we never get tired of watching.
Thank you, it takes a lot of time to film with the different angles and points of view, all filmed and edited on my iPhone
@@AllenMillyard Most people don't know how much time it takes to do proper edits (both filming and producing)👍👍
It's hard to say something without sounding like a sycophant. What you do still leaves me in ore of your work. You are gifted.
To bad the current youth is hardly interested in making their hands dirty.
Love to see you busy and hear your calm explaining.
A lot of more people should pick up stuff like this and start creating!
I'm still building my own milling machine, after that I can complete my single to twin project!
I have filled up my shed with a lot of tools allready,
I have a southbend lathe from 1931,
Recently restored a bandsaw,
Have tig mig and stick welders.
A 10T press bench,
A little sand blaster,
A small press drill.
And almost a diy mill.
I really enjoy this all, thanks for the encouragement to all people who are afraid to try something the first time...
I don't think it's true that youths today are not interested in manual work. As a former secondary school D&T (aka 'shop') teacher, there was nothing the children liked better than making things with their own hands. Tragically, Technology departments in UK schools have changed with the introduction of CNC machines, reducing opportunities for genuine hands-on work with wood and metal.
@@ParaBellum2024 for sure the real hand work is 'downgraded'.
But what the problem here in the Netherlands is is different...
Here you can get higher education or manual education.
What I mis here in technical schooling is the point that people who are manually skilled and have a good functioning brain have to choose between hands and brains.
While in the real world the 2 always need to be combined.
So the people who leave school here are very good labor people, without much knowledge or people with lots of knowledge without understanding the practical world (the managers😋)
I love the fact that Allen always has the right piece of metal/tube/spare engine shafts to fit whatever he is working on. The rest of us would be searching the internet for ages. You know how lots of YT presenters often have “out take” clips where they show their blunders and mistakes. Allen can’t do that as he has none.
Your surgeries on an open heart are always tremendeous Allen. You are the Chief Physician of all the Doctors.
Its a video with a hacksaw, but definitely no hack.
All of Allen’s videos are unique, and its always a pleasure to watch.
Can't be many people in Britain who can do what you do successfully . You are a master craftsman.
This is the best mechanical engineering and cooking video on CZcams.
How did you watch the vid in 7 mins?
I watch so many car build videos where the most used terms are "pretty good, not bad, good enough" and "not awful". So refreshing to see this series where "perfect" is key!
"just perfect"
Watching your engineering and mechanical skills reminds me of me..............I like tea and cupcakes too
No need to thank us for watching. Thank you for making these amazing videos.
King of the Golden Hacksaw,
we salute you!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work 👍
Ingenious as ever. A touch loose on that bearing OD.
Never underestimate what a man in his shed with tools tea and cake can do
Allen, what you do is almost unfeasible - I mean, who else can claim to be able to cut a perfectly straight line ... with a hacksaw ... a bloody HACKSAW!!!!! I'm completely awestruck by what you are able to do with very modest workshop facilities. Damn good job!
Im fifty and just passed my mod 1 and 2, I was over the moon to learn how to tension my chain 😂 then I watch this guy saw an engine in half 😂😂😂 I am not worthy . Love the videos,,,,amazing
Unbelievable craftsmanship. Have you ever cut anything wrong! Everything is perfect
I love the work you are doing but what adds the icing on the cake is your voice and narration. It reminds me of my childhood watching wind in the willows. Your videos are a sort of calming therapy as well as good fun to watch.
I'm so glad that I found this channel.
It's kind of funny, I find it therapeutic to watch.
How does this channel not have 10,000,000 subscribers? Come on CZcams, what are you playing at?!
Nothing like waking up in the morning and seeing that Allen has posted a new video!
I have trouble cutting bread straight! Your videos always make my day just a little bit better. Thank you.
Simply Exquisite once again! I can feel my blood pressure normalize when I hear his voice and watch the magic happen! A true Craftsman and Talented Engineer! God Bless my friend and Thanks for sharing your gift with us!
Great informative video.
Finally no food talk.
I'd like to wish you and your lovely wife a Merry Christmas Alan and a great new year to come. Thank you for the joy you give all of us who love watching you create what we wish we could, keep safe and may God give you the best this Christmas Season has to give.
We were diverted in our desires and attention, Not allowed to follow our hearts ♥️ Well done Allen
All Allan’s videos are a joy to watch, can’t wait for the Honda CBX V12 build… please 🙏
Now that really would be something. Allen over to you.
It's been done, and he's already done a kwakker v12.. I'm waiting for a vfr750 into a w8
@@micksdad101. True. But I didn’t see it been the built, did you?.
The fact that you said it’s easy to cut straight with a hacksaw proves that you indulge in some kind of witchcraft! Great work as always Allen.
Nice to see Allen use CAD to design things. CAD = Cardboard Aided Design :-)
Thanks for the 100 years of guzzi plug ,on the mug Allen ,pity goodwood never thought to do a celebration in either events this year!
I need to rig up some sort of pulley system to lift my jaw off my desk. I'm in total awe watching these videos
"Saint Allen of Millyard . . . engage." - this simple command always gave Jean Luc an enormous sense of 'well-being'. : )
The effort to create AND to make a quality recording of the process can’t be overstated. You make it look like a walk in the park…pure genius. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely true. One of my pals rebuilds certain vintage Japanese bikes & he tells me it can take all day to film just a few minutes of edited, finished video, obviously depending on complexity & number of shots required so that it can be seen well enough that a customer can do it themselves. Allen does his own voiceovers, which are very much part of the enjoyment. Not everyone has such a voice. Allen’s contains boyish excitement with confidence born of much experience. A joy to watch & listen to!
Yes, I know. Much of the time, simply recalling to take (still) pictures while working on things is a bit much for me.
Modern equipment, a bandsaw. Very impressed.
That’s a great video again. Tried to elongate my Ikea table by cutting it with a hacksaw and weld a bit in between. I discovered Ikea tables are made from fibre board and the catch easily fire. Rather watch Alan and Tracy’s video.
The fiberboard wants glue, of some kind.
Use square steel tubing. *That* can be welded.
This is what I plan to do in the future for *my* furniture - which looks a bit like the better stuff one might find at IKEA, and largely uses birch ply and regular lumber.
Allen is just showing off now, putting a square against his hacksaw cut to show how square and true it is ;)
A master class in British engineering Alan thank you for sharing 👍👍
Dear Allen, you never cease to amaze me.
of all the amazing things I see you doing, what still takes me by surprise is your skill with the hand saw and hand tools in general. In this era, in which making chips has become increasingly cheap and fast, choosing to make a few by hand is the ultimate sign of a dying breed of handymans the likes of which I doubt we will see in the next generation.
You Tube is full of "makers" who do it all with CAD, 3D printers and digital millers. All very nice, but try doing that for a drive sprocket support bearing or an exhaust system or special crankshaft.
Proper engineers like Allen (and Project Binky) also use CAD. Cardboard Aided Design.
Sadly, what you say is true. Luckily, for those generations to follow us, these YT videos will hopefully survive to inspire the engineers of the future.
what can I say : big respect for talent and your passion
As somebody who has all the CNC equipment I love running the manual mill and feeling the cut as you say and getting out a file to make something instead of pushing buttons
Ive always been a hack saw kinda Guy. :) Its Great when you get a Straight line each time, and some Hand Filing just to Knock off the burr left behind. Thanks for another very Enlightening Video Allen. Thumbs Up mate. Dave from Australia.
In a world of disposable merchandise, it is a treasure to find a craftsman this gifted.
I like the tire sticker that is stuck to your block wall. I tend to keep many small stickers that I pull off various things, and I re-stick them to the underside of my tool box lid. I have quite a few ancient stickers on there.
He is so incredibly talented that he makes this look super easy while it is actually very demanding work :D
Thanks for showing that workspace shot, the creative ways you use your tools is great to see. Making things by hand people think is from a full factory process or CNC does feel good, it's funny the somewhat opposite digital creation to Photo or Video representation feels about the same, creating 3d renderings or Photoshop drawings from scratch people think are real products.
Excellent sprocket solution should handle the extra ponies. Looking forward to the next installment, everyone loves a good bottom end😁 and a tasty cupcake with a cuppa👍
Excellent idea for a outrigger support bearing. A expensive front sprocket arrangement!!
Looking at that issue if shaft length. What you did was the best compromise to me! As modifying the casings and output shaft to accommodate the extra length although possible. Would be a much more lengthy process with issues of its own arising! Your choice of configuration shows your vast collected knowledge!
We are watching history being made. And it’s great to be here to watch it being made!!
Thank you Allen! For another great video!
That 'old' towel looks really clean 🤣😂 my famous last words are " she'll never notice"
Fantastic craftsmanship.. We'll be waiting for the bottom end...
You should be passing your skills on to the net generation. you are amazing.
You certainly are a Coupes Moto Legende. Thanks for making these videos.
Absolutely love the thumbnail. The two most important tools!! Alan you should really attend our bike week in Daytona Florida and come see all your friends and fans.
Would be cool to go sometime
I always feel the need to get up and head out to the shop to work on a project after watching these videos...very much enjoy your work!
Beautiful work, Allen, on both the mechanical and editing sides. Thank you for having the patience to film your achievements for our viewing pleasure. Ian
Allan you are a true master!!! But I am really disappointed that theres was no baking cakes :-) you and Superfast Matt are the best- all hail
Video editing, bike building, teaching, true master.
Innovative solution to fabricate the sprocket assembly. Allen, you have big brain - must be all the cupcakes and tea.
I am so pleased that I am not the only one who uses the foot as one side of a clamp when cutting (however not with a angle grinder). It reminds me of an Australian in the south of France who did a little job up a ladder on the area above a shop window. The angle grinder went through the electricity supply of the flats above the shop, and the money for the job didn't cover the comparitively low French hospital fees for patching up the Australian's injuries to his forearm. nb I am not Australian.
"I measure the engine with my bent stick and mark the cuts with my biggest crayon. I then hacksaw it into eighteen bits, close my eyes and weld everything back together upside-down with a candle and some old lead flashing I found in a bush"
Result: Rolls Royce quality engineering that runs like a sewing machine.
Man's a wizard.
Thank you for doing the effort to bring this to us. I am inspired every time I watch.
Today's precise engineering tools:
Cardboard and a Sharpie.
You’ve hacksawed more in the last 3 videos then I have in my life. I do enjoy it though.
So relaxing, thank you Sir for letting us tag along your amazing work. Life is simple because all we need is our family, motorcycles and an Allen Millyard episode. Thanks again, hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
Love your videos!
You make mechanical engineering seem easy. It is not 😊
Watching this on Sunday make,s my day
It's fun to see it come together part by part, solving all the little problems as you go. You show how a large, complex job can be broken down into smaller, simpler steps. Many people can't see that a big job is only a whole bunch of little jobs.
Just another boring day with a genius Brilliant 👌
Outstanding, absolutely outstanding. Such humility, such genius. Thank you.
Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality. Respect.
Hi Allen, you are for the triples like Scotty for the Enterprise. Nothing is impossible for you. Great work . Many thanks to chief engineer Allen Millyard for his great and perfect work with terrific videos for us. :-D
Great regards Martin
Yes, my wife has gone shopping as well, she always stops at the local vegetarian restaurant when she’s out and about, after all, when you live in Oregon, everything is about organic and natural!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, cupcakes and tea with us Allen. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
So glad I found your channel. Such a treat. Much respect from Texas
Uses a hacksaw to cut through ¼" steel, puts it to a square then makes understatement of the century "That's not bad"!!!
Alan, your engineering skills and creativity are exemplary....
I just wish I had the talent to do even half of what you can do but still, I like what you create out of bare Engine Cases. Keep it up & keep the projects coming.
Здравствуйте Аллан! Огромное Вам спасибо за ценные видео. Вы кумир мой и всех энтузиастов. )))
be careful when you got a cupcake and a hacksaw in your hand you dont want to cut the the cupcake by mistake ....well at least it will be straight ....another amazing job by alan i would know ware to start let alone cut anything straight with a hacksaw .....you are a one of.
That whole concept of a countershaft extension and bearing support bracket is simply a stroke of genius, Mr Millyard. Done in wonderfully executed steps. Thank You. Trinidad & Tobago.
Very nice to see you working on an actual ongoing project!
When I see that cup of tea on your bench I can't help but wonder how much metal particles get in there and how much a man of steel (and aluminium) you have become over time ;-)
At least it’s not cutting fluid. Always made a good milk substitute and stopped folk nicking my actual morning break pint of milk off my lathe. 😏
Yer normal dietary intake should include
Zinc
Molydbenum
Alumineeum (GB)
Steel
Unuptaineum
ZX1 creamer
🤣☕🧁✌️🇺🇲
Good to see old Charlie Weaver enjoy that nice cupcake 🧁 😘
One day Millyard will actually cook something on the BBQ.
Well, you made that look easy and my feeling of ineptitude is stronger with this video. Won't stop me from enjoying! Great job. We are quickly loosing the "Allens" of this world and are doomed to a world of "famous" Tik Tokers.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. You're and inspiration to many. 🇬🇧
Allen Millyard = the wizard of mastery motorcycles and hand fabrication ! well done sir = the SHED IS A CASTLE !
It’s a shame your not my neighbour Alan , at least you would cut your grass 👍 excellent !
It’s just amazing how crude some of Allen’s techniques and processes may seem like cutting things with a hand hack saw and basically just doing everything by hand, but he’s such a master of his craft and such an incredible engineer that he will just amaze you every time. How did nobody ever hire him to design new motorcycles after seeing what he can do with pieces of old ones?
I would not have thought of aligning the final drive shaft and rear sprocket like that. It does raise the question of the time needed to change the gearing (4 cylinder bike not 3 cylinders) and the work associated with replacing a worn sprocket. Nonetheless, awesome.
Thanks Allen always enjoy watching you work 👍🏻🏴
I love listening to Allens calm, patient voice. Is it just me or would he make a great bedtime story teller lol
