Welcome to The Plaid Dog Workshop
Custom Laser Engraving, CNC Engraving & Signs in Colorado
At The Plaid Dog Workshop, we create custom laser engraved products, CNC carved pieces, and one-of-a-kind signs for businesses, homes, ranches, gifts, and personal projects. From engraved wood, acrylic, leather, and metal to carved signs with depth and character, we make custom work that is designed to stand out and built with care.
Whether you need a personalized sign, a custom engraved gift, a branded piece for your business, or a carved project with a little more dimension, we combine craftsmanship, technology, and attention to detail to bring your ideas to life.
Custom work. Real materials. Small-shop service. Made in Colorado.
What We Make
Clean, precise engraving on wood, acrylic, leather, coated metals, and more. Great for personalized gifts, logo pieces, keepsakes, tags, décor, and detailed custom projects.
Dimensional carving for signs, plaques, wall art, ranch pieces, and custom projects that need depth, texture, and a more substantial look.
From family name signs and decorative pieces to custom wall signs and personalized projects, we make signs that are designed around your space and your style.
Turn a favorite photo into a custom engraved piece on wood, slate, or other materials for a meaningful gift or keepsake.
Memorial Urns & Keepsakes
We also offer custom memorial urns and keepsakes, thoughtfully crafted and available with personalized engraving to create a simple, meaningful, and lasting tribute.
Why Work With Us
We’re a small family shop in Colorado that believes custom should actually feel custom. That means no mass-produced feel, no generic templates pretending to be handmade, and no one-size-fits-all approach.
We work with real materials, real equipment, and real people who want something personal, memorable, useful, or just plain cool. Some projects are simple. Some are weird. We like both.
When you order from The Plaid Dog Workshop, you’re working with a shop that cares about the details, communicates with you directly, and takes pride in making something worth keeping.

Colorado Craftsmanship, Personal Service
The Plaid Dog Workshop is based in Colorado and built around the kind of work we’d want to buy ourselves: well-made, thoughtful, and personal. We’re not a giant production shop, and that’s the point. We like the process, we care about the result, and we want you to end up with something you’re excited to give, display, or keep.
