Allen is brilliant! He sees the problem and instantly sees a solution and goes right to work to solve. This is a sign of a very high IQ. Absolutely a brilliant person. This is one person that Dave doesn't want to lose. And to boot he seams to like what he does and explain everything very well too
I agree, Alan is a very brilliant and talented dude! His versatility never ceases to amaze me! When it comes to engineering, I would definitely want a guy like that working for me!
Not just talent, and IQ, Allen has years of doing this kind of stuff, decades... Tons of weird odd repairs and contraptions. That is indispensable experience. Worth more than a similar person with same amount of time, but in more ideal of an environment.
For people who know a lot about a little, you sure do not know anything about forging. For what you are doing you need full heat not just spot heat. That's right you need a full even heating of the area you are forming. Think about forging a knife or a sword, a sword is not just heated and formed one section at a time. No you need an even heat over the entire area you are forming. I see to many cold area's and many more broken springs.
I think he'd wear his Wizard Wand out clearing all the flunkies before could even think about getting down to business. To keep Biden and Harris busy all someone would have to do is have Harris explain to Biden why his shadow does everything he does and why it ignores him once the sun goes down.
Alan is a model employee. Takes his time to get it right the first time. He doesn’t get mad when something not right. He just calmly goes back and finds the correct salutation. He is polite And is a great team player. Good hire Heavy!
WOW! WHO WOULD OF THOUGHT THAT ALEN WAS ACTUALLY REALLY SMART..WHEN WE FIRST MET ALLEN TOU HAVE TO ADMIT HE WAS KIND OF A KOOK...BUT YOU GOT TO LOVE THE GUY FOR HIS BRILLIANCE!
I could sit around a fire and listen to Alan talk for literally days. He has the best stories. Seriously we need an origin video or documentary on The Wizzard's life story!
Heck yeah we do! I mean, even if it's half fantasy straight from the mind of the man himself it would be grade-a viewing for sure! I'm imagining the mad hatter tea party here. 😅
Ever since Allen was introduced to us he has been a marvel of knowledge and keeps calm on a daily, and just figuers out a way to resolve the problem at hand. Amazing man and family member to have to the Sparks family. Cheers :)
Alan is like a Swiss Pocket Knife! Really a incredible multi talented guy with a whole lot of knowledge on so many different things and also always in a good mood.
I like how Alan is teaching his friend Jiere (apologize if i misspelled the name, Timestamp is 18:20 is when I heard it) and even explained why to set the torch temperature a certain way to prevent oxidising (rust).
🇦🇺 Australia 🇦🇺 Hay Alan... nicely done brother.. love what u do bro... u don't just finish what eva job u r on or u r doing.. u also.. explain.. where the problem started... how the problem begined... why the problem happened & how 2 fix's the problem.. nice brother I truly appreciate the true wizard of wisdom u r my dare friend.. u r a true asset 2 the D-Brothers.. God Bless u all brother's .. T.....from Australia 🇦🇺
Also 🇦🇺 - Sth Aust! Love your Cherry Coke Alan. Ive only just found ot here to buy. A really spicey taste but sadly didnt last long. Back I go for more!!
US Army called them SUSV Small Unit Support Vehicle. I was deployed with C Co 6/502nd Inf, Berlin Brigade to southern part of former Yugoslavia. We had 5 observation posts along the Macedonian-Serbian border well up into the mountains and canyons. We we issued SUSV for resupply and support of the OPs during winter or other adverse weather. The SUSV was amphibious, so capable of crossing the river after the Spring thaw and flooding rains. The Nordic BnB NORDBAT had FN MAG 58/M240 on ring mounts to arm their SUSV. Probably an accessory Diesel Bros should have.
Love the episodes with Alan/Allen (?) in them. I want Alan to be my friend, he seems like the kind of guy everyone needs in their life as a buddy. :) Awesome episode
I think we all agree that we’d love to see an “Alan” Documentary about his gathering of knowledge over the years in a fun way. All 3 men in this vid are craftsmen!
There are a lot of videos on TH-cam where you think "oh my, what are they doing" - however watching this I was a little impressed how well it worked out with just some pieces of metall, heat and a press. Others would have gone overkill using every type of machinery on this planet. Respect!
Love the teamwork. Alan may have the idea for a solution, but he listens to others' input. Love how the others are ready to jump in and help and how they tease him.
Just wanted to say Hi to Mr.Wizard and all the Gang at Sparks Motors, And a big fat Thank you for sharing all your hard work and creativity with us viewers. Just another Dave from Suwannee Florida. Y'all have a great day.
The Sisu is my fav vehicle of Dave’s. I love watching you guys work as it takes me back to when I was a little girl watching my dad work on his semi. Keep up the amazing work guys!!!!
Yes, from day 1 when Dave went to the fortress I thought to myself. " This guy is a machine".All the work he has done up there and the types of material he stocks up and buys is incredible. His mind is constantly in planning mode. Pay attention young fellas. It is also really labor intensive. You can tell by looking at Dave that he is strong as an ox. I wish he would tell a bit more of his story. Love watching the Spark's crew get it done.
Alan sure earned his wizard nickname. What a beast and an invaluable asset to have on your team. Very glad he joined the team and glad Dave and Alan could help each other out
When Dave walked through Alans Place up on that mountain and saw what this guy has done by himself.....I see why he has always been on the Sparks team ever since.....Talented up the ying yang.....i guess you can say.....Bravo.
@Spark Motors Sorry but everyone knows these reply's are fake.People who want to get a hold of a winner won't send messages like this.Why don't you get sober and move out of your grandmas basement and get a real life.And a real job..!!
Heavy D really scored by finding Ali he also has sheet-metal guys that helped out to awesome job you have an All-Star team heavy day you should be proud of them diesel brothers are awesome
Dave I'm sure you know this more than any of us but the knowledge and work ethic that Allen brings to your team is mind blowing you definitely found a diamond in the rough so to speak along with all your other guys I believe you should challenge them to fabricate not only extraordinary but yet practical could be the next mini series
My utmost respect to Alan he is fantastic a wizard a genius my god he is able to fix everything what a great person and he explains every step along the way and problems how to fix the equipment he is one guy you want as a crew member on your team .👍😊☘️🇮🇪
Allen you do incredible work...I especially appreciate your explanation on how and why...you are truly one of the team players...thanks Heavy D...and Diesel Dave...
I swore I saw Dave up in a window behind Allen up in his office with hands on his head like oh my Gosh what is Allen doing. go back and look at the back ground. It kinda tripped me out for a second.
Alan should look into a two piece lock washer for parts he doesn't want to rattle off. they bite into the bolt and the base metal and have a set of ramped teeth that are sloped more than the thread pitch so you actually need to increase torque slightly to over come the washer when backing off. it's the kind of washer that you put on springs like that and it'll keep that bolt in place and never loosen up
When Alan said he was surprised he didn't have his suit and top hat on. Immediately my brain went to dumb an dumber. I could totally see Alan in one of those suits. Hahaha
Allen is brilliant! He sees the problem and instantly sees a solution and goes right to work to solve. This is a sign of a very high IQ. Absolutely a brilliant person. This is one person that Dave doesn't want to lose. And to boot he seams to like what he does and explain everything very well too

People like Alan make me feel really stupid sometimes..he has a different kind of brain
Not just talent, and IQ, Allen has years of doing this kind of stuff, decades... Tons of weird odd repairs and contraptions. That is indispensable experience. Worth more than a similar person with same amount of time, but in more ideal of an environment.
Allen is Mcgiver in real life. I feel like he could make a combustion engine out of tin foil. 🤔 😂

Alan is definitely a Wizard. He knows how to make and fix everything. Alan for president!! 😂
Alan for president!!
Hell yeah, I like that idea a lot!
I think he'd wear his Wizard Wand out clearing all the flunkies before could even think about getting down to business. To keep Biden and Harris busy all someone would have to do is have Harris explain to Biden why his shadow does everything he does and why it ignores him once the sun goes down.
Heavy D really scored by finding Alan , and having him join the team . He is a Allstar 👍🏻
I am so glad that Alan is working for Heavy D. Everyone is so funny but, gets the job done.
Alan is a model employee. Takes his time to get it right the first time. He doesn’t get mad when something not right. He just calmly goes back and finds the correct salutation. He is polite And is a great team player. Good hire Heavy!
Alan is the guy you want on your team in Scrapheap Challenge!
Alan is the guy you want on your team for just about anything! Great work Alan!
Oh man, could you imagine a Heavy.-D ran scrapheap challenge show?
Thatld be mint.

Sounds romantic, I bet you'd take him inside and invite him into your bed to spoon too while telling you a bed time story
@@PrincessAddie14 sounds like you've been drinking a bit too much bud light.
@@PrincessAddie14 Yes please, I love Alan to cover me in melted butter and whisper sweet nothings into my ear. Then make slow, passionate love to me.

I'm impressed with Alan's old school ingenuity because its the basics to most things and lasts longer.
Alan is absolutely one of the greatest additions ever! Brilliant and that can-do atitude, he is truly amazing!
The story of how Alan came to work with you guys is amazing. He's proving to be a very valuable crew member
Alan’s awesome!
@@SparksMotorsCo The Crew + Work Space makes them All AMAZING!
I would like to know where Alan got his knowledge. He is amazing. The entire team is solid👍

This is one of the better episodes on this channel, I want to know the how and why of build repairs. And Allen is a wealth of knowledge..
Allen is a master teacher
Fabricating something like that has to make you proud when you see it's doing the job. Great job Alan.
Its always a benefit to have knowledge employees who aren't afraid of thinking outside the box... nice job making a die Mr Wizard.

the WIZARD strikes again!!!!awesome job ALAN!!
I got my Wizard shirt last week. I'm going to wear it when I fix my Sisu Nasu.
There are a lot of videos on TH-cam where you think "oh my, what are they doing" - however watching this I was a little impressed how well it worked out with just some pieces of metall, heat and a press. Others would have gone overkill using every type of machinery on this planet. Respect!
Allen explains everything
This is fast becoming one of my favorite channels.
Love the teamwork. Alan may have the idea for a solution, but he listens to others' input. Love how the others are ready to jump in and help and how they tease him.

Great fix! Goes to show that necessity is the mother of invention 😁
AMEN

The Wizard is the best helicopter find ever.
This is so impressive. And then smacking that hammer with one hand while holding tha steel. LIKE A BOSS!
Alan sure earned his wizard nickname. What a beast and an invaluable asset to have on your team. Very glad he joined the team and glad Dave and Alan could help each other out
This is my favorite Alan job so far.
Alan is One Key Part of theSparks Motor Team 👍🏻
That a thick meal bar to bend! Good that you have a solution! Nice to see you working
When Dave walked through Alans Place up on that mountain and saw what this guy has done by himself.....I see why he has always been on the Sparks team ever since.....Talented up the ying yang.....i guess you can say.....Bravo.

Alan deserves a raise needs his own brand of merchandise!

I love watching the wizard he is such an amazing back yard mechanic and inventor
You would never know just by looking at Alan that he is a metal wizard.
Allen you do incredible work...I especially appreciate your explanation on how and why...you are truly one of the team players...thanks Heavy D...and Diesel Dave...
Well done Allen you done well with that you made it look so easy LOL
Wizard always works magic! Awesome job
Allan is the leatherman of the human species.
great job Allen god bless
Good job Alan.
Nice job. Hechale ganas hermanos
Well done Alan.
Alan is the top guy he knows everything to be fair
Excellent work Alan you’re an asset to the team
Very impressive Alan! You have earned your nickname well sir! Wizard indeed!
Love when Alan wears short sleeves then hammers something. !!
Well we’re impressed with you both. Good job guys!
I swore I saw Dave up in a window behind Allen up in his office with hands on his head like oh my Gosh what is Allen doing. go back and look at the back ground. It kinda tripped me out for a second.
Good evening,Allen is one smart man. Sorry about that they are all very smart. Steve from Nb Canada
Fantastic job guy's
Thank God for good video descriptions...I spent 15 min trying to spell "sisu nasu" before wisdom kicked in to click on 'show more' :)
Alan's the star now hahah. His channel beats all.
That was some impressive work Alan!
I hope Alan gets paid very well for everything he does for Heavy D
I feel like he'd work for 40k and a sack of white castles! He's got a heck of a work ethic for sure.
@@motownpontiac that aint nearly enough for the value he brings just with his brain let alone his work ethics.
so cool Allen thank you for sharing with us.
I know the guys like to razz him but he certainly has the forward thinking to make it right. Enjoyed watching the process.
I have faith in you guys you all can fix anything
!WOW no senseless marketing! Just like the old days! CONGRATULATIONS you figured it out!
Alan, why not make a small kiln to heat last 2 feet of the stock, then just use the rosebud to keep it hot?
Allen is an awesome fabricator
Did Allan go to trade school or is he self taught? He does amaze with his talents.
Alan should look into a two piece lock washer for parts he doesn't want to rattle off. they bite into the bolt and the base metal and have a set of ramped teeth that are sloped more than the thread pitch so you actually need to increase torque slightly to over come the washer when backing off. it's the kind of washer that you put on springs like that and it'll keep that bolt in place and never loosen up
When Alan said he was surprised he didn't have his suit and top hat on. Immediately my brain went to dumb an dumber. I could totally see Alan in one of those suits. Hahaha
Nice work!
Allen, you never cease to amaze me ! 👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
