Editorial Policy
MakerGrade is committed to producing clear, reliable, and practically tested craft and DIY journalism. We maintain strict separation between editorial evaluations and commercial partnerships to ensure our workshop community receives honest guidance.
Sourcing
Our team builds articles using direct hands-on testing, manufacturer technical documentation, material safety data sheets, and interviews with seasoned craftspeople. When evaluating specialized techniques such as kiln firing, wood turning, resin casting, or electronics prototyping, we consult master artisans, certified trade professionals, and verified industry standards organizations. We avoid secondary hearsay and prioritize reproducible methods verified in a physical workshop.
Review process
Every tutorial and buyer guide undergoes a multi-stage review process before publication. An experienced project editor examines all technical steps, safety precautions, cut lists, tool requirements, and safety equipment recommendations to identify potential hazards or ambiguities. If a method poses safety risks, our editors insert explicit caution notices, ventilation requirements, or protective gear advisories.
Corrections
Accuracy is central to our work, and we welcome input from our readership. When a technical mistake, calculation error, or outdated product recommendation is identified, our editorial staff reviews the issue promptly. Validated corrections are updated directly within the article, accompanied by a clear revision note at the bottom of the page detailing the adjustment and the date it was completed.
Advertising and independence
Editorial independence is non-negotiable at MakerGrade Media Ltd. Brands cannot purchase favorable project outcomes, positive tool reviews, or uncritical material endorsements. Sponsored posts, supplied materials, or loaned workshop equipment are visibly labeled at the beginning of the article, ensuring our community always knows the exact origin and nature of our resources.
