From engraving Yeti's for holiday gifts, to even helping my husband with a NATCA award for their team building golf outing. Patty is always professional and the work is on time and always exceeds expectations! Patty engraved this charm for my Aunt whose mother sadly passed away. She helped beautifully capture her cursive handwriting on a charm my aunt wears every day to remember her Mom. I purchased this charm from State Street Jewelers and they also highly recommend Patty for jobs they need assistance with and have been working together for years. Patty is my go to locally owned and operated engraving business and wouldn't go anywhere else. Patty rocks!

Patty is extremely unprofessional and rude. We have worked with her over the past year and the…read morequality is not up to par nor consistent. 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.

It turns out Jim Henry Inc. is an 80 year old business which provides frames, certificates, and…read morewhat I'll call trinklets (small plaques and trophies, medallions, pins, pendants, etc) mostly for the medical profession.  I ordered a gift frame for my son's medical board certificate and being sorta in the Chicagoland neighborhood and to save $19 in shipping cost, I queried and was amicably agreed a physical pickup in lieu of shipping.  After just a few days' wait for the frame prep, I also got to meet Chris McClurg, the friendly president of the company who while presenting my purchase also gave me a little tour of their office and product displays.  They are located in a quaint industrial section of St. Charles and near the DuPage airport.  They have customers from all over the world.  I made an observation that businesses like Jim Henry have longevity by finding a solid niche and with theirs being mostly (but not exclusively) associated with the medical profession.  I noticed how all of the son's celebrated milestones (diplomas, degrees, certifications, etc) came with different sized certificates and each had their own preferred frame supplier - what a racquet I thought!  Anyway, this was most certainly a one time visit, but I mentioned to Chris that because he had a Yelp listing with no info nor reviews, I would oblige him with a written thank you and a little PR, and here it is!

Working with Create Cut Invent has meant a lot to our team. Steve is one of the kindest and most…read moregenuine people we have met. You can tell he truly cares about what he does and about helping students learn about fabricating custom parts.. He has helped us with so many custom parts, from metal side plates and back plates to protective polycarbonate plates. He also did something really special for us that not many teams get the opportunity to do, which is custom machining our own gears. Our robot needed a specific size gears in order to create the perfect RPM for the motor. We were unable to find any available parts online and had to make our own. Steve was extremely helpful and the quality turned out amazing! When we were getting ready for the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship, we were under a ton of pressure with a really tight deadline. We had less than a month to design and build our robot, and there is no way we could have done it without Steve. There were times he got parts done for us the same day. One time, we were a few days out from the World Championship and after initial rounds of testing, we realized our robot could be even faster. Steve was extremely helpful in this matter, where he used his own steel and welded the gears onto a standoff. He was able to get the new custom gears done in just hours, and we were able to attach the new gears onto the robot on the same day! What really stands out is how much he cares. He always took the time to help us, no matter how busy things were, and he treated our team with so much support and respect. Because of him, we were able to succeed at Worlds, earning 3rd place in Design in our division and making it to playoffs. For the 2026 season, we are ranked as one of the top teams in the state of Illinois and regarded as a top caliber team in the world. We are really grateful for everything Steve has done for us. We truly could not have done this without him, and we would recommend Create Cut Invent to anyone, especially for robotics and STEM projects.

Once the details were finalized, it was turned around in just a few hours and it was exactly what I needed! Steven was extremely generous with his time and advice. His incredibly friendly personality paired with enthusiasm for the craft is rare to find these days. Beyond the excellent work, the owner is a Chicago legend. Honored to have Steven's services so close by in the Western Suburbs. I will definitely be using them again for any fabrication!

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 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.
