How was Engraver Dave? I wouldn't know. Didn't respond to an email of mine. I suppose out of business due to covid?

I had an old but precious brass Zippo lighter I wanted engraved. It had to be special. AND it had to be onsite. Of all the typical places, i.e. jewelry stores, trophy engravers, etc. This is what I encountered (one or more of these). 1. It'd have to be sent out. 2. It was lazer engraved (a very shallow etch that burns changing the color of letters to black). I have nothing against this per se but it's not what I wanted on the lighter. 3. Fonts are very limited selection. I wanted more unique custom. 4. I wanted the placement very different then horizontal/vertical. I drove by the place that yelp had listed and I found out that Dave has moved. I finally go old school and CALL. I left a message and he got right back to me. After telling him what I had and what I wanted he told me the charge is $6 a letter $60 min very quickly because a lot of locals hang up on him. So basically you're getting 10 letters for $60 and then it goes $6 per. He gave me his resume over the phone which is quite impressive- and the method he uses to engrave- old school with 20th century modernity. He takes clients locally by appt only. The bulk of his business is people shipping THEIR precious items to him. He was very accommodating in arranging an appt for me given my rush circumstance- he had a heart. When I arrived at his workshop he apologized for state of his workshop- Martha Stewart does not live there. No, it's what you'd expect from a real tradesman. We sit at his desk while he analyzes the lighter and gives me a book of scripts to peruse. One caught my eye but he says that will be extra (shading and such), but I didn't want that one EXACTLY. I came up with an amalgamation via the book and my description. It was font ala carte :-) We settled in for the lengthy precision placement of the characters. It wasn't traditional by any stretch. I specifically wanted a character to be halved on the lid and the body. Preparation was the bulk of the time. Then the actual engraving takes place. He loves to talk about his craft and you can tell he absolutely takes great pride in his finished one of a kind pieces. So when the lighter was finished, I was absolutely blown away by the beauty. It had the perfect amount of depth to compliment it's age, no puddles or pooling. It is gorgeous. When I presented it to my husband (who could find fault with Michelangelo). He loved it. Told me like 5x over days randomly as he used it. Even remarked that his pistols (engraved ones) look like a 5 yo did them. Which Dave does those too. His prices are NOT cheap, take your cheap stuff to the stock guys. His is the kind you take your priceless, heirloom or sentimental items to. He does odd shaped items, scenes and anything you can imagine. His facebook name IMHO is not befitting the scope of his offerings. www.facebook.com/DuckBandWeddingRings

Amazing work. He kept us informed through the whole process and was a pleasure working with him to ensure my husbands dream of owning a duck band on our wedding day. My husband's first look at the ring was priceless. And everyone that saw it has loved it. Even our pastor during the ceremony said amazing things to our guests as he blessed the rings. Thank you so much engraver Dave!

About a month and a half ago I had purchased some really great cufflinks for my boyfriend as a work related anniversary gift from OC Tanner. I wanted them engraved but needed them by the next day. OC Tanner could not do a rush job that quickly, nor would I have expected them to. I ended up googling engravers in the area and Engraver Dave came up so I called..as it happened he used to do engraving for OC Tanner and was actually at the store as I was picking up the cufflinks! Oh how the universe works...not only did he offer to do a rush job on them THAT VERY DAY, but he was able to engrave on a curved surface (something that I think can't really be done) AND do a custom logo of the company my boyfriend works for...perfectly from just seeing a photo...all done by hand! This guy is absolutely amazing and really helped me out in a jam. The cufflinks came out absolutely amazing and the next day I was able to have this beautiful custom gift for my boyfriend in time for the party I threw him. Hands down, best service, super friendly and the most talented engraving job I have ever seen. Thank you! :)

I would recommend Dave to anyone looking to have any engraving done. I spent weeks trying to find someone to engrave 3 bullets for myself and 2 brothers. We were doing this for a keepsake when my father passed away. I had a trophy shop that took over 2 weeks to find out either they could not do it or there was more $$$ on other projects they were getting in. I called Dave and had no problem getting these done in a very timely manner. We have been nothing but impressed with the quality of work and how the finished product looked after he was finished.
