Editorial Standards
At Sawdust BuzzBlog, our goal is simple: provide woodworking content that is clear, accurate, and genuinely useful. We focus on fundamentals-first education, practical decision-making, and long-term skill development rather than trends, shortcuts, or hype.
All content published on Sawdust BuzzBlog is created with human editorial oversight. Articles are planned, structured, reviewed, and refined to ensure they reflect real-world woodworking principles and responsible guidance. We prioritize accuracy, clarity, and usability over speed or volume.
Our editorial approach emphasizes:
Foundational skills that apply across projects and experience levels
Clear explanations over technical jargon
Safety-conscious guidance without fear-based language
Honest limitations — we avoid claims that tools, products, or techniques can replace skill or experience
Modern writing tools may be used to assist with drafting and organization, but content is always shaped, edited, and approved by the editorial team to align with our standards and philosophy.
We do not publish content solely for search performance or promotion. Recommendations are made based on relevance, practicality, and how they support learning. When products or tools are discussed, the focus remains on why they matter and when they make sense — not on pushing purchases.
Woodworking is a skill learned over time. Our editorial standards reflect that belief by favoring accuracy, patience, and consistency in everything we publish.
Editorial Team
Sawdust BuzzBlog Editorial Team
Led by AJ “Buzz” Eichman
Sawdust BuzzBlog is guided by an editorial team led by AJ “Buzz” Eichman, with a focus on practical, fundamentals-first woodworking education. Content is curated to help readers build skills intentionally, avoid common mistakes, and gain confidence through understanding rather than shortcuts.
The editorial team emphasizes real-world usability over idealized shop setups or trends. Articles are structured to support beginners while remaining valuable to experienced woodworkers looking to refine habits and reinforce core principles.
Every piece of content is reviewed with three questions in mind:
Does this teach a transferable skill?
Does it reflect how woodworking actually works in real shops?
Does it help the reader make better decisions?
Sawdust BuzzBlog does not aim to present woodworking as fast or flawless. Instead, it treats the craft as a process — one built on fundamentals, repetition, and thoughtful progression. The editorial team’s role is to ensure that every guide, article, and resource supports that approach.
Revision Policy
Woodworking knowledge evolves through experience, and no guide is ever truly finished. At Sawdust BuzzBlog, we treat content as a living resource rather than a static reference.
Articles are reviewed periodically to ensure information remains accurate, clear, and aligned with current best practices. Updates may be made to improve clarity, correct errors, expand explanations, or reflect improved understanding based on reader feedback and continued research.
When revisions are made, the focus is on:
Improving accuracy and usability
Clarifying explanations or instructions
Updating recommendations when tools, materials, or practices change
Correcting errors or omissions
We do not revise content simply to follow trends or change conclusions without reason. Updates are intentional and guided by the same fundamentals-first philosophy that shapes all of our content.
If a significant update changes the intent or guidance of an article, it may be noted within the content itself. Minor edits for clarity or formatting may not be individually documented.
Readers are encouraged to approach woodworking as an ongoing learning process. Our revision policy reflects that mindset by ensuring content grows more helpful over time, not just more frequent.
Corrections & Feedback
We strive to keep all content accurate, clear, and helpful. Woodworking is a craft learned through experience, and even with careful review, mistakes or unclear explanations can occasionally occur.
If you notice an error, outdated information, or something that could be explained more clearly, we welcome your feedback. Reader input helps improve the quality and usefulness of our content over time and is reviewed as part of our revision process.
Corrections are handled thoughtfully and in alignment with the same fundamentals-first standards that guide all of our content.
Safety & Responsibility
Woodworking involves tools, materials, and techniques that can be hazardous if used improperly. Content on Sawdust BuzzBlog is provided for educational purposes and should not replace manufacturer instructions, formal training, or personal judgment.
Always follow appropriate safety guidelines, use proper protective equipment, and work within your own skill level and experience. Each reader is responsible for applying techniques safely and responsibly in their own shop.
Product Mentions & Recommendations
When tools, materials, or products are discussed on Sawdust BuzzBlog, recommendations are made based on relevance, educational value, and how they support learning woodworking fundamentals.
Any affiliations, partnerships, or compensation related to product mentions will be disclosed clearly and in accordance with applicable guidelines. Content is not created solely to promote products, and recommendations are intended to support informed decision-making rather than encourage unnecessary purchases.
