Such a cool video and story, Bruce! It's amazing what people can figure out when they're not willing to sacrifice quality but need to figure out efficient ways to make things!
Its a great story that will inspire other small business owners to keep moving forward. We sell them too - just as well built and they are not as expensive as these....It would be great to see Americans sell American Made at a fair price so they can adjust that pricing during harder times. We do and we are proud to do so. Plus all of ours are made by a US Army Disabled Veteran. Good to see the hope that is ahead for us.
This is very inspiring! Awesome to see him pivot directions to survive but still sticking to his roots. Gives me hope that you can make it even in tougher times! Awesome interview Bruce
Appreciate it! I agree, seeing them stick to what they know and keep making things by hand when everyone else around them does it differently, was so huge!
Such a great interview. Amazing to see such a success story and hear how they have pivoted multiple times over the years and still kept to their root business. What a cool story. Awesome shop too. That silo office is really cool, and a genius idea for a business. Thanks for sharing this Bruce.
Have you written a book about your history? If you have I would sure love to buy a copy!! Just like many others, I am surely impressed your story. I live in AZ, but I would also love to fly out to meet you and tour your business. Thanks for this video!
Great interview, Bruce. I love seeing fulfilled American dream stories like this. Looks like a fun place to walk through. I'd love seeing one come together from milling to final paint job.
Maybe I can do that as a follow up. They make so many, I think there are often days between the milling and final. They have different stations that are always working on a particular section, depending on orders they have for that week.

That was an awesome interview. The way it was cut it looks like you didn’t even ask him questions. Nice work.
Really appreciate that! That’s exactly what I wanted to come across.
I could listen to Larry talk about woodworking for hours. Amazing company and amazing video. Great work Bruce!!!
Thanks, Jeremy! Larry is awesome! He’s just a natural on camera. I didn’t even have to edit him much!
Love these stories of Americana Success - Not a Bird House guy but couldn't stop watching - :) Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much, Dave! I'm not really the biggest birdhouse guy either, but I thought they had a fascinating story. And they're such good people!
Such a cool video and story, Bruce! It's amazing what people can figure out when they're not willing to sacrifice quality but need to figure out efficient ways to make things!
Thanks, Ethan! I agree...love that part about them not being willing to outsource out of America.
@@BruceAUlrich Definitely and the fact that that was actually what ended up setting them apart and their competitors failed because of it!
This is such a unique company! I had no idea there were companies out there who actually did birdhouses.
I didn’t either until I ran across these folks!

Yes! There is hope and stories like these (and yours) show that. Thank you!
This is an incredible story. I love that this small company is thriving!
Isn’t that so cool that they never stopped doing handmade?!
If this was an advertisement it would be the most effective I've ever seen
Thanks so much! It wasn't an advertisement, but I really wanted to showcase this company that is local to me.

Glad you enjoyed it! I think it is a neat story and a unique place!
