How we research Ted's Woodworking
Last reviewed 30 August 2026
This site is an independent review. It has not purchased or personally tested Ted's Woodworking. Everything here is built from public sources, and every significant claim is labelled by how well it can be verified.
In short: we treat the vendor's own pages as the source for what is offered (price, bonuses, guarantee), independent platforms such as Trustpilot and third-party reviews as the source for customer experience, and we clearly mark anything that cannot be confirmed - such as the exact number of unique plans or the creator's stated credentials - as unverified.
How we classify each claim
| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| Verified | Confirmed on the official checkout/offer pages or by multiple independent sources (e.g. the $67 price, the 60-day ClickBank guarantee, that downloadable plans are delivered). |
| Vendor claim | Stated by the seller and repeated as their claim, not as fact (e.g. "16,000+ plans", "$749 value", the creator's certifications). |
| Customer report | Opinion or experience attributed to named review platforms, presented as sentiment rather than proof. |
| Editorial analysis | Our own synthesis - practical implications, decision criteria, comparisons - based on the above. |
| Unverified | Could not be confirmed from the sources reviewed. Stated as such rather than guessed. |
Key claims and their status
- Price is a one-time $67 (from $197 / $297): verified on the official offer page, 30 Aug 2026. Vendor-controlled; can change.
- 60-day money-back guarantee via ClickBank: verified - ClickBank enforces this on its products.
- Four bonuses (DWG/CAD viewer, 150 videos, business guide, guides pack): verified as listed; their dollar "values" are a vendor claim.
- Lifetime members-area access with free monthly additions: vendor claim, consistent across official pages.
- "16,000+ plans": vendor claim, not independently verified; multiple reviewers report duplication and filler.
- Ted McGrath's certifications and AWI membership: vendor claim, unverified here.
- Low third-party rating: customer report - Trustpilot showed roughly 2 / 5 from about a dozen reviews at the time of writing.
- "Not an outright scam": editorial analysis, supported by the product being a long-running ClickBank listing that delivers real downloads with an enforceable refund.

Updates
Pages carry a "Reviewed" date. Because pricing, bonuses, and offer terms are set by the vendor and change without notice, always confirm the current details on the official site before buying. If you believe something here is inaccurate, please get in touch via the disclosure page.

FAQ
Has this site tested Ted's Woodworking?
No. It has not purchased or personally tested the product. Everything is built from public sources and labelled by how well it can be verified.
Which sources do you use?
The official offer and sales pages for what is offered, Trustpilot and third-party reviews for customer experience, and keyword data only to understand what people ask.
How do you decide if a claim is verified?
A claim is verified only when it is confirmed on the official checkout pages or by multiple independent sources. Everything else is labelled vendor claim, customer report, editorial analysis, or unverified.
Why do you call the plan count a vendor claim?
Because no independent source confirms 16,000 distinct plans, and reviewers report duplication and filler. We report the number as the vendor's claim, not a fact.
Is the price information current?
It reflects the official offer at the review date shown on each page. Pricing is vendor-controlled and changes, so confirm it at checkout.
Do you take payment from Ted's Woodworking to publish this?
No. Some links are affiliate links that may earn a commission on a sale, which does not change the assessments.
How often is the content updated?
Pages carry a Reviewed date and are revised periodically. Vendor terms can change between updates.
Can I see the raw source list?
Yes. The working log with URLs, findings, and access dates is kept in the repository as research-sources.txt.
What can you not verify?
The exact number of unique plans, the creator's stated certifications and trade-body membership, and any specific customer-results claims.
