Cincinnati's Master Craftsman

“My name is Brent W. Sears, and I am Cincinnati’s Master Craftsman specializing in historical restoration and preservation techniques; Restore, Renovate, Replicate. My son Brendon works with me daily, teaching him the means and methods of “the craft” of long ago. Some of our voluminous specialties include; copperwork, marquetry, parquetry, historical architectural millwork, historical doors and windows, historical staircases, and antique restoration.  

We prefer to handle projects in our workshop, then, either ship the custom builds to you directly for you or your contractor onsite to install, or, we can come to your property for the complete install, whatever the situation we service from design to permitting to final touches of the install. We can work with and design with anyone but in the vast majority of cases we create the build and construct in the shop and install for you onsite. We are master craftsmen and take on the projects that interest us.  

Our workshop is equipped with all the latest technology, designed to handle ANY historical restoration and preservation projects perfectly. To mention a few: German made Altendorf Sliding Table Saw, turn of the century old iron pieces such as: Type B 20” Porter Jointer, 36” Moak Bandsaw, Rockwell Stroke Sander, and our pride and joys: Williams and Hussey Molder, and the legendary Legacy 5 axis, Yeti Smartbench and Shaper Origin CNC robots, and many, many smaller pieces of high-tech gear that I use nearly daily. Watch carefully and you might catch a glimpse of some of these tools and machines in the sliding images of our home page.
