While in Cornwall, England learning armor-making from legendary armorer Terry English, Adam Savage visits the workshop of modelmaker Glen English, who scratch-builds scale replicas of racing motorcycles. Glen, an accomplished road racer himself, shares with us his meticulous process crafting his museum-quality miniatures.

He’s my dad. He’s an amazing hard worker x
As someone who loves building model kits. someone who builds things from scratch is an artist. Those bikes are works of art.

I was going to say, didn't he also make the molds for the parts? To me, that would make him an artist in my book
The videos like these remind me of why I'm subscribed to tested.
I feel thankful to be able to watch Adam on a different journey discovering and showing us interesting cool things almost every day after Adam & Jamie left Mythbusters. Wonder how Jamie is doing.

In a secret bunker, working on the next generation of self propelled soda can mortars.
These are amazing. I love his attention to detail because as a graphic designer I'm constantly fretting about all the little details that people wont normally notice and this dude is on a whole other level.
I've been lucky enough to visit his fathers workshop, he is a true craftsman, unbelievable work
As a scale model builder this is a whole other level of scale building mastery. You can tell he loves building these scale replica bikes when he says he hand carved the tread on the tyres 🙌🔥 EPIC
I love this - British garden shed engineering at its best.

Used to be a lot of it. Hobbyists saving up the pennies and buying an old third hand bench top lathe and "Drill/mill" to tinker with, Then spending the weekends in their sheds creating stuff from scratch...... But these days most kids don't seem to want to get their hands dirty, So they never learn the skills needed. :(
Proper british geeza in a proper british shed.
Losing it over this guy. Amazing stuff.
I take my at off to men in sheds. Britain is full of them, especially middle aged guys who grew up there after WW2. Lots of Boffins. FANTASTIC STUFF.
In Ireland there used to be a show called 'Hands' which was a documentary series that looked at the craft of anything. Horse saddles, candles, poitín. (Kinda like irish moonshine essential) Tested feels like the modern day vision of that series and I love it.
This man makes me proud to be British.
That workmanship is stunning.
Hello Glen, I spoke to your dad yesterday for the first time to thank him from one armourer to another for all the years of inspiration... he is such a prolific maker... His body of work is absolutely breathtaking as is his eye for proportion and detail... there really is a Terry English style. He invited me over to talk rivets and perhaps as my speciality is miniature armour, if you like... Beers are on me, it would be great to meet, I love your work only I have only just discovered it... DAMN! From one miniaturist to another, one GIANT (but very small high five)! 😂Best wishes to you and yours, and keep up the great work, from me (and all the mice in the workshop) . 🏆
That has just gone into my top five favourite tested videos. Thank you tested.
It's like Adam is in a candy store. This Man's Art is Amazing.
I love how this guy tried to downplay the insane amount of skill and work it took to make some of that stuff.Very smart and humble man,indeed.

He’s my father and he works very hard on them.
I love the way this guy talks.
i'm just blown away, by te level of detail!!! Out most respect!
The ability of just a man in his garage never ceases to amaze me. I do believe that fewer of youngsters are learning these skills; hand made is turning into programming which translates to into 3d printed versions. Bravo Sir.
Fantastic video! Enjoyed hearing a local accent on here. Would love to see more crafters from around the around the world.
As a builder of miniature versions of larger things, I approve of this video.

Wooow.. I don't know what to say, I'm all blown away by this. So amazing! Thanks for sharing, Adam.
Absolutely beautiful models.
it's so... inspiring
They are the best. Love your work glen.
This is ridiculously good !
Had a massive grin on my face the whole time. Thank you for this!
Beautiful and inspiring work Glen. Just gorgeous.
Wow, awesome craftsman and artist!
Brilliant work, what patience.

Glad I'm not the only one that thought that. Even if the transmission doesn't work it would be cool to fire up and exhaust coming out the tailpipe.

there are model engines of a similar scale that run. Seen a V12 !!
Amazing work!
This man is brilliant. These models are beautiful.
Close your eyes, it's Danny Dyer! Haha! - Simply amazing, what craftsmanship.
Excellent model making. wow, so detailed.
Stunning , great inspiration
Wow! Incredible talent!
Absolutely amazing stuff
Wow that is some amazing building. What a great inspiration.
exceptional craftsmanship.
Damn! Dude is my hero. Amazing work!
Really enjoyed it
Really beautiful model.
this is the most impressive kind of craftsmanship to me. as much as i love to see a space-age looking workshop with the most cutting-edge tools, this guy is making PERFECT, better than factory-made looking components in what (and no offense) looks like a shack filled with junk. that kind of quality, with rudimentary looking tools, from a tiny messy workshop like that. amazing!!!
fantastic amount of skill. From what Glen briefly mentioned about his Father and basically doing the same but smaller, reminded me of carpenters apprentices making models of furniture pieces at scale to show techniques.
"... no one would have known... but I knew...", Awesome attitude, and inevitably, awesome craft.
Absolutely amazing the detail is astounding how anybody could give a thumbs down to this video mystifies me that man is a true true artist
Love it when someone puts a skill to task.
Amazing hand crafting!
This is really amazing!!!
Great guy, so humble and talented 👍🏼
true passion revealed...yeah sure ill have some more
Amazing. Very, very, very impressive.
These models take more time to build than the original bioe!!! Great work brother man!
My grandad and dad are incredibly talented ❤
😮simply incredible!
This is unbelievable!!!
One word! Amazing!
Glen should have his own channel!! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah👍👏
Adam WILL invade your home and touch everything 😂
What a talented guy,so down to earth
such a great video Adam, they are works of art :-)
Crazy and so cool!
There is a lot of talent out there.
Wow that's pretty good!
Fantastic!
I am speechless !
Great insight. Great English accent. Cheers!!
This level of creativity is absud! While i am a littlebit autistic, i can just look at this detailed stuff the whole day long. I like how we get to see this amazing people and their hobbies here on Tested! 600thThumb up!
Wow amazing
Also, this chap is living the dream
Yeah Yeah Yeah...Nice one bro! Miniature Wonderland
Amazing
Oh wow you were just on our doorstep!!! Hope you enjoyed your stay Adam :) :) :)
Stupendo complimenti
I hope we get to see the other works of Terry English's kids :O those armors at the beginning looks nice
Beautiful model! I've only ever seen one MV on the road in all my life. It was about 20 years ago -- a 125 with full race fairing. That's it. Never seen one since. Super rare! But, I did once meet Phil Read coming out of a classic car dealer's. Rare stuff from rare days when motorcycles looked like motorcycles, and still had that sense of adventure about them. :0)
Inspiring -- and humblong.
Brilliant.
Every country should have a designation of "living national treasure" this guy would be one in England for sure
Absolutely beautiful. :O
i dont know how silly this is to think, but i was genuinely expecting him to start it up and rev it :(
That is awesome
I used to feel good about myself building 1:12 scale Tamiya motorcycles but not anymore. This man is a God!
