In this video, I sit down with Larry Glass of Heartwood, here in Star, Mississippi. They are the world's largest manufacturer of birdhouses and they're all made right here in the USA. They have a really great story and we go into detail about how they operate as well as talk about some of their large woodworking machines. They're building birdhouses, bee boxes and a legacy! These make great Christmas gifts, so click the links below to support a great, American company this holiday season!

If your gonna kill a fly get a sledgehammer 😆 love it
Ha ha. He’s got a lot of funny sayings!
very new to this hobby. Love your story....
You have been very blessed. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! These are some great people.
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.
This is one smart businessman.
He really is!
Great getting to know this company, they have a great philosophy and mindset behind them
They’re great! If you want to support a good company, shop their site. They ship everywhere.
Thanks for sharing this! So great to hear stories about woodworking businesses making it work!
Glad you enjoyed it! They’re neat people and I love how he stuck to making it al by hand in America and he outlasted all of the competition.
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.
Yes! There is hope and stories like these (and yours) show that. Thank you!
Great American story. Absolutely love it. Made In America still means something. 🇺🇸
They are a fantastic company and fantastic people. Truly.
Great story.
Thanks so much! I really enjoyed getting to tell their story!
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!
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!
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!
Awesome interview Bruce! Cool video what a journey 😁
Thanks so much!
This is an incredible story. I love that this small company is thriving!
Isn’t that so cool that they never stopped doing handmade?!
What a fascinating business -told well. Go Heartwood!! Thank you Bruce for sharing their success story.
Thanks, Mom!
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.
Thanks for watching, Shane! I really like companies like this and they’re great folks!
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!
I'm sure you were talking about Heartwood and their facility. Thanks for watching!
Sorry it took me so long to watch this but I couldn't turn it off when I started today. So interesting. Fantastic interview.
Thanks so much, Mike! Glad you enjoyed it. They’re great people with a great story!
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.
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!
Gotta love the fact that they stuck to their roots awesome great interview, makes me want to get in the truck and go down there from texas.
They’re really great folks! They’d welcome you and have plenty of birdhouses, furniture and lumber. ;) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing their story Bruce, really interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it! I think it is a neat story and a unique place!
What a great American success story! Great interview Bruce!
Thank you! I really was glad to get to tell their story!
Love the video, Bruce! Such a cool story. I love hearing success stories like this one. It makes my business dreams seem a little more possible. - Joe
Not sure why I didn't see this comment! Thanks so much! I totally agree...gives a glimmer of light for all of us to keep pursuing our businesses!
Interesting, thanks for sharing
Appreciate you checking it out!
Very cool !!
Thanks, Mike! These are great people! It was fun to get to tell their story!
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.
