Affiliate & Earnings Disclosure for Woodworking Guru

Effective Date: April 7, 2026

Last Updated: April 7, 2026

At Woodworking Guru (accessible from https://woodworkingguru.com), operated by Woodworking Guru LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we believe in complete transparency and honesty with our readers. In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials in advertising, this Disclosure Policy details our financial relationships, affiliate link usage, display advertising practices, and editorial standards.

General FTC Compliance Statement

You should assume that every outbound link, product recommendation, tool review, or service mention on WoodworkingGuru.com may potentially be an affiliate link or commercial partnership. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, Woodworking Guru may receive monetary compensation, referral credit, or a percentage of the sale from the retailer or manufacturer at no additional cost to you.

Our commercial relationships and affiliate earnings never influence our editorial integrity, product testing standards, or the honesty of our tool reviews.

Amazon Associates Program Disclosure

Woodworking Guru is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, and affiliated international Amazon websites.

Mandatory Amazon Statement:

“As an Amazon Associate, Woodworking Guru earns from qualifying purchases.”

When you click on an Amazon link from our site and place a qualifying item in your shopping cart, Amazon pays us a small referral commission. The item price remains exactly the same whether you purchase through our link or navigate to Amazon directly.

Display Advertising & Network Partners

We partner with third-party display advertising networks (such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, or Raptive/AdThrive) to display banner ads, video placements, and sponsored content blocks across WoodworkingGuru.com.

  • Impressions & Clicks: These ad networks pay us based on ad views (CPM) or clicks (CPC).
  • Cookies & Personalization: These third-party networks use cookies, web beacons, and pixel trackers to serve targeted advertisements based on your browsing history, preferences, and location.
  • Ad Content Disclaimer: Advertisements served via display networks are dynamically populated. We do not manually select or explicitly endorse the individual products or services appearing inside third-party banner ads unless specifically declared in our written review content.

Tool Retailers & Direct Affiliate Partnerships

In addition to Amazon, Woodworking Guru participates in direct affiliate and referral programs with leading woodworking tool manufacturers, hardware retailers, and craft suppliers (such as Rockler, Woodcraft, Acme Tools, Grizzly Industrial, Kreg Tool, Bora Tool, ISOtunes, and digital woodworking plan platforms).

When you purchase tools, machinery, safety gear, hardware, or downloadable woodworking plans via our tracking links:

  • The merchant pays us a commission or flat referral fee.
  • Your purchase price, shipping rates, product warranties, and customer service remain 100% identical to buying directly.
  • In certain cases, our partnerships allow us to offer exclusive discount codes or promotional bonuses directly to Woodworking Guru readers.

Hands-On Tool Reviews & Product Samples

To provide detailed, hands-on tool testing, comparison guides, and workshop tutorials, we occasionally accept product samples, test tools, or review units directly from manufacturers or public relations firms free of charge.

Our strict rules for product reviews:

  1. Uncompromising Honesty: Accepting free merchandise or review units never guarantees a favorable review or placement in our “Best Of” tool roundups.
  2. Balanced Feedback: We rigorously evaluate build quality, motor performance, safety features, ergonomic flaws, and overall value.
  3. Explicit Disclosure: If a specific power tool, hand tool, or accessory tested was gifted or provided for free by a manufacturer, a clear notice is stated at the top of that specific article or video review.
  1. How We Disclose Affiliate Links on WoodworkingGuru.com

To ensure full transparency prior to any user interaction:

  • Top-of-Post Notice: Every blog post, review, or buying guide containing affiliate links displays a clear disclosure banner at the top of the page:

“Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”

  • Inline Markers: Specific links in product comparison tables or buying lists may be denoted with an asterisk (*) or labeled as [Affiliate Link].

Workshop Safety & Educational Disclaimer

Woodworking and operating power machinery involve inherent risks of severe personal injury or property damage. All content on WoodworkingGuru.com—including plans, shop jigs, tool guides, and safety tips—is for informational and educational purposes only.

Always wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), read tool instruction manuals, follow manufacturer safety precautions, and comply with local regulations.
