I would love to be there if I could. 20 year Air Force Vietnam Vet. What a great way to honor our veterans.

Nice gesture fellas. American veterans deserve everything . Many were left homeless because politicians were squandering their duties. We should wake up and help these kind souls.

I’m in Louisville. I do repair videos here on YouTube too. I find Belknap stuff all the time at garage sales and flea markets. Great stuff. American made. From a time when that still meant something.

[majorpayne]

Good stuff. Louisville here. (LOU EEE VILLE) As a kid (19) (1988) started working at The Galt House Hotel, maintenance. Many trips to old BlueGrass Hardware building. 1st time there it was like walking back in time to the early 1900s. It was very maintained however definitely old. The building was HUGE! They had everything imaginable. All floors had product of sorts and they also owned additional buildings down the block that were stocked like you wouldn’t believe. Truly stuck in an industrial age of time. Lots of very old men on the sales floor. Each having their own specialty of knowledge. Many were old tradesmen (boilermakers & such) that couldn’t do the job anymore but were still very useful w/ their many years of knowledge.
I loved that place! As you’d expect, CHINA (NAFTA) put them out of business or so I was told by a couple of the old timers that had worked there many years. Good people, quality tools & parts. I still have hammers and other hand tools from Bluegrass hardware. They are very solid, Proud American made tools that did not wear out & break. Sought after BGH by many tool collectors. A shame they were forced outta business during the Clinton era & NAFTA. Thx TARYL for the video & your work on the old mower. Also, to our USA Vets… thank you for your service.
