We give an explicit construction of Lie algebras of type $E_7$ out of a Lie algebra of type $D_6$ with some restrictions. Up to odd degree extensions, every Lie algebra of type $E_7$ arises this way. For Lie algebras that admit a $56$-dimensional representation we provide a more symmetric construction based on an observation of Manivel; the input is seven quaternion algebras subject to some relations.
