I can't say enough good things about Frank and this shop. I was in a real pinch and even though it…read morewas not their emergency, they were able to a put together a spectacular product within a short time frame. They treated me with respect the whole time and made me feel taken care of while also remaining professional and courteous. I'm pretty sure Frank stayed a bit later than usual to help me with my engraved award I needed as well. This was not my first call during my emergency situation, but I couldn't be happier with discovering Academy Engraving and having my piece made here. Not only is their work very well done, but they are also an absolute pleasure to work with. If you're between finding a place for this kind of service, I say with pure confidence that you found the right place and that you should look no further. Thank you to Frank and Academy Engraving for a wonderful product and top notch customer service.

The reviews here seem divided into low ratings by people who take issue with prices and…read morepersonalities, and high ratings by those who acknowledge that there was something priceless that had to be done, and that this place got it done. Last year, I connected with someone over identity stuff to the extent that I commissioned a graphic artist to create a Korean-style line illustration with animal imagery, symbols of the Joseon era's Navy, and a Korean , four Korean syllables derived from Chinese characters (since Chinese is Asia's Latin). I chose "," literally, "Eight Directions Beauty," meaning jack/jane-of-all-trades. The illustrator delivered, then got her buddy to render the image into a vector file (.eps). Meanwhile I'd been going back and forth with a nameless person behind an email account after ruling out other places that couldn't do what I proposed or couldn't do it within the time frame I needed. Most places can engrave anything for $40 if you have a vector file for their computerized laser cutters. The catch is that you have to be carving on a flat, metal surface, pretty much, and not want the engraving filled. My goal was to carve this one-of-a-kind image onto an expensive A.F. Mason Pearson hairbrush (I didn't get the hype either until I tried one - now it's going in my hypothetical "hope chest"). The brush back has the dark sheen of enameled mahogany but feels kind of like plastic, only it's not plastic, but hard pressed vegetable matter, all organic. And it's slightly convex. Since the material is a dark color, I not only want it carved up properly, I want the design to be filled in with gold paint so it pops. Now, I'd found the one joint that could do all this on rush for $100. Taking a liberal lunch break, I rode the A train from my workplace in Washington Heights down to Columbus Circle, then walked east on West 58th. Now, I'm ducking under scaffolding, going through wooden diversion mazes set up by construction companies but can still see the high quality facades of the caliber of old school buildings that they just don't make anymore. Before or after the neighboring liquor store, I make my entrance. Inside, a guy with a Michael Keatonish vibe stands at a computer behind the counter. Somehow, I know that he was the writer of the emails. The small space, ringed with engraved plaques, trophies, crystals, and other fineries commemorating occasions of the NBA, UN and NYPD, is occupied by two black gentlemen. I don't want to call them elders, but I suppose they are. They are speaking in animated ways, calling the dude behind the counter Barry. Barry looks between them and says, "I'll be right with you, miss." I'm already pleased to be called miss, not ma'am. At first, it seems there's antagonism between the men until I realize that it's animation and familiarity that I'm hearing. What the fellows want pertains to basketball, and sounds important. I start assuming that the men are famous - this is exactly the kind of quiet place where legends would do business. On their way out, one of the customers catches my eye and points, "THIS is the man right here. You've come to the right spot. Barry will get it DONE." When I step up to bat, Barry inspects the precious brush and nods pensively but reassuringly. I ask to see the vector file that I've sent him. When he brings it up on the computer, I discover that the Korean characters are faded in some spots, a fault of the conversion. I ask myself for a second if I can just accept this - maybe the flaw will give the final product a charming antique effect. But I decide NO. Barry's kind of throwing his hands up, going, "I don't know, miss, this is what you gave me." But he lets me get on the computer and mess with the software and waits as I email the Canadian artist off my phone, and failing that, email the characters in Word to Barry. He opens the email, and grumbles as I hover anxiously over him, but does everything I desperately need to restore the text. I have the option of putting like 20% down in cash but pay in full. Two days later, I head back there. The A-train tries its damndest to dick me over as I sweat bullets, trying to arrive by 6 p.m. - I call the place from between stops and Barry's colleagues promise me they won't leave. Feeling ready to crap my pants, I run up to the door at 6:07 and two guys are calmly standing there. Barry's up in back somewhere. With trembling hands I open the brush, which has been placed in its original cardboard container. It. Is. Perfect. The acrylic gold fill looks like actual gold, and the pressed vegetable like shined wood. It looks like it belongs to Indiana Jones. "How..." I begin... "Yeah," say the guys (please forgive me for forgetting your names after I asked). "It wasn't a level surface, so Barry had to make special calculations." The recipient doesn't even deserve this gift. I make a mental note to get this done for my own damn brush next time, and do.

You bring whatever you want engraved to the building, the staff will come down and find out what you want engraved- the text, as well as the style and size of it- and will bring it back down to you within 15 minutes. They have you wait in the lobby because at the current time, the building is having trouble with the elevator (does not work most times, and they have to use the stairs to gain access to their shop on the 50th floor). They offered several types of fonts, and I thought they did a great job with my engraving. I was really pleased with it. I will say the only negative was it's one set fee- no matter what you have engraved- $75 seems a bit overpriced.
