These solid brass offset pivots were finished in satin silver for our client in New Jersey. They also have a clear coat that will aid in the prevention of tarnish.

The captioned photos here are of an installation in New York, our finish is an old brass with wax. Most of the hardware was original and the balance was made for the remodel/addition.

Captioned here are some molds for both a pocket door pull and a back-plate for exterior hardware. These will now be used to cast our clients hardware in bronze for a local project.

These are some custom shower door pulls prepared for a local client. They are finished in polished nickel. We offer most of our pulls in a glass door mount set-up.

Here we are working the booth in Boston. Wish you all were here.

Mr Anderson and Mr Bengds meet over coffee discussing mill-work details as they prepare to show off the Al Bar Wilmette restoration services and Wilmette Hardware products at the 2008 Traditional Building Show today.

Many of our staff will be in Boston for the 2008 traditional building show. We hope to see many of you there that we have spoken to by both phone and email. We will try and blog from the show floor – who knows it may work…

What a difference, these are the knobs captioned from a few days ago. They are now polished nickel and absolutly fabulous.

The captioned finials are for a project on the North Shore of Chicago’s Lake Michigan. The final finish will be silver (one of the finials in this photo does have the silver finish).

These custom cabinet knobs were made based on a sketch provided to us. The sketch is converted into a scupt and this sculpted piece is what we use to make a latex mold for the lost wax casting process. These knobs will be finished today by our staff in Wilmette, Illinois.

This mold was made for a local project and will be used with a suite of hardware [the deming hardware suite]. The captioned mold was made in a vacuum because of all the detail. The final lever will be cast in solid bronze.
