Modern Colonial Project

Manufacturing Antique Cut Nails Video

Bob and crew travel to Wareham, Mass., to visit the Tremont Nail Mill. Tremont Nail, manufacturer of the cut nails used in the antique pine flooring installation in the modern Colonial's sister house, still makes use of original production equipment dating back to the mid-to late-1800s. The tour, which looks at the machinery as well as the nails it produces, offers a glimpse of turn-of-the century manufacturing in New England.
