In addition to a variety of styles of nails, Tremont Nail can provide information to help the restorer in determining the authenticity of a project. Cut nails possess great durability. They are hard to pull out because the shape causes the wood fibers to push downward and wedge against the nails, thus greatly stengthening their holding power. Once you have used them, you will prefer them for all sorts of applications. For over 200 years, Tremont Nail has achieved a reputation for skilled nail cutting that has made its product readily saleable throughout the markets of the world. Through all the changes and the hurried pace of modern industry the same product is still being produced for customers who prefer the superior holding power and durability of this time-tested nail.

Innerglass windows are "The Perfect Storm" for insulating historic homes and buildings. The standards that define a "historic" home or building are very specific. The original window units are part of the building’s historic integrity and replacement of these windows is strongly discouraged. The guidelines specifically say, "If the original windows are in place, repair and retrofit of these windows is preferred." That’s where Innerglass comes in. Because our windows compression-fit inside of the stops of the primary window, there is no need to disturb the integrity of the original windows. And because each of our windows are custom made to fit the exact measurements of each window, they are extremely efficient for windows that are no longer square, which is very often the case with historic homes and buildings.

Deep Landing Workshop has its roots as a small craft shop operating in a converted farm shed on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It was there in 1964 that Joe Ramsey, a machinist by trade, started creating light fixtures designed by his wife, Cynthia, a mother and housewife who had an eye for a fair curve. Her designs were inspired by colonial fixtures they saw visiting historical sites. Cynthia was able to elevate those simple utilitarian pieces into graceful interpretations that could stand proud. In 1977, their son John Ramsey took over, leaving his courses at the University of Maine and settling into the slow execution of finely-crafted light fixtures. John steadily built a portfolio of work, executing designs for historic restorations, private residences, custom lighting vendors, and for architect’s commissions. Over the last 30 years, Deep Landing Workshop has created custom lighting fixtures for projects across the United States, and has installed work in schools, inns, churches and public buildings. We expanded into our new shop in 2002, and our current workshop includes in-house spaces for blacksmithing, welding, electrical work, metalwork and carpentry.

For almost nine decades and three generations, Ball and Ball has been producing the finest quality Hardware and Lighting for homes across the country. The Ball family heritage of metal working dates back to pre-1700’s England. Today we take the same pride in the craftsmanship of our products. The high standards set by our forefathers have been the ideal toward which we strive, not only in our shop, but also in our relationships with our customers. We are committed to the principles upon which Ball and Ball was founded in 1932: "Our only desire is that whatever we shall make be of the highest quality and character humanly possible to produce and that our customers shall receive every service at our command". We also do custom work. We can make, match, copy, repair and restore any kind of antique hardware. If you are finding us for the first time, let us show you why we have been around since 1932.
