@@carson2646 Reading into it maybe I suppose. It's just something I was taught. I've been through a few seminars where people teach never to call someone's success "lucky" because it can downplay the work they put into that success...leaving it to chance. To many, it implies that they just got lucky rather than diligently pursued and achieved their dreams. That moral has just stuck with me over the years. It's just semantics, really but I still try to say that they are blessed or fortunate rather than lucky bc to some, it does downplay their efforts when what I was really trying to do was offer a compliment on their successes. On that note, congrats on your businesses! Sincerely hope they're as fruitful as you dream them to be!

Being a Gunsmith/Custom Rifle builder, i have a huge appreciation for Handmade/American Made equipment. When you see employees with that much time on the job and a company with that much time in the business and still thriving it means they are doing it right. I really like the fact that all work is done in house with good quality thick sheet steel and powder coated and hand crafted that is hand welded. It costs more for that but in a few years with proper care and maint. and stored indoors it will still be going strong and last a good long time. Unlike the cheaper stamp steel sheet metal Orange Chicken Specials available for less money. Buy once and cry once. I enjoyed the tour and look forward to more American Made Products being showcased in the future.

You want to completely seal the metal from the elements.? Powder coating does that. And it lasts for at least ten years. I have a patio set that was faded, so it was powder coated. Well it’s been in the sun and endured Louisiana weather for ten years and it hasn’t even faded.

I have 2 1996 ztr 3362 zero turn mowers the first one I got did not have a deck I ran into the guy at the scrapyard bought a Craftsman tractor off of them and then he goes I got a couple more at the house come on by so I fall news house and he had this thing sitting there the first one that I got and it had no deck because all it runs I go that's cool well I got a brand new battery in the back of the truck for another tractor let's put it in well it wouldn't crank you know and I didn't know anything about him I know tractors but I've never worked on one never even seen one up close and he says how much you give me for it I go out tell you what I'll give you 60 bucks for that one and the Craftsman lt2000 that thing was like a 2001 model didn't run wires were chewed up by an animal he was at the scrapyard when I saw him pulling in and I intercepted them so I've literally paid $30 for it motor was free I spun it by hand and he says I can't get a deck for it nobody's got one you can't find them anywherewell I said okay went on to let go that night and sure enough I found one for $150 complete runs works so I hit the guy up I went to the next day and got it and it ran just fine it started right up soon as I put gas in the head drained all the gas out for once somebody did what they were supposed to do and I go to drive it and it worked at first and then all the sudden it just started going haywire come to find out there was missing one of the rides for the break that pulls on the break when you pull the levers back and it was out of adjustment so I got that one running good I got it adjusted it works pretty good I still got to make a few more and they're both in great shape they're both running driving the other one wouldn't start because of the solenoid it was gone but if you jump the starter it would fire right up and it drove decent to it was out of adjustment but I needed those break clever things for the one with the duck so I decided to take the parts off I needed it still runs it'll kind of move around its just doesn't let you control it at all just thought I'd share the story since it was mentioned they're pretty cool tractors well-made I love the design of the drive it's all external and it's just these cup disc and they work great once you get them adjusted . God bless everyone keep up the good work Derek

All of your vidjas really touch my heart. My Dad’s gone awhile, Mom’s got the dementia, BUT !! Looking at you and the family brings back the feelings and times that we went on adventures such as this! Mom would pack lunches ( Buddig Meats , our favor - ite, for some reason), take out the O’l Thermos Jug, fill it with ice cold sweet tea, bring chips and such. Dad would always find a place to buy an ice cold wateemelon ( WITH SEEDS !!! ) , find a pickanick table some where, or pull over on the side of some nice road, eat lunch and spit seeds for deezert. Great Times! Great Stuff! Thank you Bieri Family !

I worked in Industrial wood and metal coatings from 1967 until 2010. I have really enjoyed watching this video. Very modern and up to date facility and was impressed at how clean and well kept to facility was. It reminds me of just how far Manufacturing has come, I have great memories of back in the early 1970's getting to run paint samples at the Yazoo Mower Factory, sure come a long way since then. Back then it was enamel and lacquer coatings.
