They were non-traditional parts for a trophy and they were eager to help me get the perfect trophy. I dropped it off a little over a week ago and can't wait to see what they come back with. The girl behind the counter was super nice and overly helpful. She showed me options to keep cost down and helped with a few ideas of her own that were good. I am very excited and hope to amend this review and give the another star. **update** I never finished this review. I wanted a trophy that would spurn jealousy in all who gazed upon it and they delivered. I have a majestic 3+ foot tall trophy with a unicorn on top. I don't think anything could have been done to make it better. Hats off to them and I apologize for the multi year delay in giving them the full 5 stars.

My original plan to use the CO2 laser at our library, but that plan fell through. After speaking with multiple companies, I ended up calling Steve at Create Cut Invent. Steve was able to take my design and perform the etching and cut it out in the shape I needed. It turned out amazing and my daughter is going to love it. Communication with Steve was excellent and he completed the project very quickly; even though it was not a large-scale project. When I picked up my item, I got to see Steve's gallery of work at the shop and was amazed. The range of projects he can tackle, including extremely small intricate pieces, is utterly amazing. I am sure I will be reaching out to Steve again to help me personalize my future woodworking gifts I make for my family and friends. Thanks Steve!

Steve did an…read moreoutstanding job engraving a retirement gift for a colleague of mine, and the entire experience could not have been more pleasant. The craftsmanship, professionalism, prompt service, and attention to detail were exceptional. What started as "just buying a gift" turned into creating something truly meaningful and personal -- something my friend and his family will remember and appreciate for years. At one point, people suggested I simply buy a gift card and let my colleague choose something himself. I'm so glad I didn't. A personalized gift carries emotions, friendship, memories, and thoughtfulness behind it, and Create Cut Invent helped make that possible. From now on, this will be my go-to place for meaningful and personalized gifts. Highly recommended.

I made clear what changes needed to be made and that there was a timing issue. I even agreed to pay the cost of fixing their mistake but it had to be done asap. I called back a week later to check on the progress and they didn't even start my order! Save you time, money and aggravation and go someplace else. I argued with Paul, the owner to get my deposit back and he refused. I told him I was going to file a civil suit against his business. He laughed and said that I wouldn't waste my time with court as most busy people wouldn't waste their time. Obviously he's done this before. Take you business elsewhere.

We would often be missing items, receive double of an item we did not ask for, and plates would come scratched and damaged. Screw holes were never in the same place, font would be off center, and the pricing is way too high compared to other places nearby. She never keeps a log of when items are paid for, only when the order was placed, so it made our bookkeeping a nightmarish experience I will be happy to be done with. Do yourself a favor and go to Doc Morgan for your engraving needs. They are cheaper with better and consistent quality.
