Our Process
Design
It all starts here. Whether you have production ready drawings or just an idea, we’re ready to start collaborating. In order to get everyone on the same page, most projects need pre-visualization. Our digital design department is here to help with fast turnarounds and client ready renderings!
Scope
Once we’ve all been aligned on budget, timeline and needs, we get to work planning fabrication. When the green light is given, our team collaborates with you on pre-set check ins for production milestones.
Fabrication
This is where the rubber meets the road. Milling, sanding, assembly, wiring, casting, painting, printing — you name it. We use the shop’s full capabilities and vendor partners to bring drawings to life.
Delivery
We use all manner of methods to get the end product to your team safely. We’re capable of full installation wherever the project is needed. We also work closely with our shipping partners to deliver all around the world.

What’s a MacGuffin Maker?
“MacGuffin” was a term popularized by Alfred Hitchcock to describe an object, place, or idea that drives a story forward: the Ark of the Covenant, The Force, The Maltese Falcon, The Flux Capacitor, The Briefcase, The Golden Ticket — you know the type. Our team of talented storytellers, tinkerers, and craftsmen make these concepts a reality. A good set or prop does more than drive the narrative: it becomes a memorable experience that causes the audience to yearn for that reality.
MacGuffin Makers is owned and operated by Devin Caldarone, Mark Alex Vogt, Gavin Chin, and Michael Dye.
With over a decade of experience in a multitude of mediums such as design, CAD drawing, 3D printing, sculpting, machining, molding, framing, and painting, we are capable of bringing your wildest ideas to life.
