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.

This was my first time at a metal fabricator, and I honestly had no idea what to expect. IF I KNEW…read moreWHAT I WAS GETTING, I WOULD HAVE STOPPED BY AGES AGO!! Even if I had expectations, Steve's service would have demolished them. I go into the shop, expecting to hear back in a week or so, and within ten minutes of leaving his shop, he calls us saying that the bed frame piece was fixed. I had been struggling with this project for almost two weeks, and Steve managed to fix it faster than the drive-tru at ChicFilA. I am still shocked and amazed at the affordable price and quick turnaround I received. If you have some stupidly proprietary piece of metal from some project that you have bungled, don't waste your time searching for an affordable replacement which will never exist. Save time and just take it to Steve so he can give you the result you initially wanted from the beginning.

I cannot say enough good things about Create Cut Invent's service. I had a smaller sized request…read morefor custom steel plates; other services did not even bother to respond to the request, but Steven replied quickly. 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 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.

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.

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.
