About the Author
Diogenes Silva is the founder and editor of KuduPost.
He is responsible for researching, organizing, reviewing, and developing the editorial content published on the website.
KuduPost was created to help beginners and home woodworking enthusiasts find clearer, more useful information about woodworking projects, tools, materials, and home workshop decisions.
Editorial Role
As editor of KuduPost, Diogenes Silva is responsible for activities such as:
- Researching article topics
- Reviewing technical and manufacturer documentation
- Comparing information from multiple sources
- Organizing information for beginner readers
- Checking important factual and technical claims
- Developing original comparisons, tables, calculations, and decision frameworks when appropriate
- Reviewing articles before publication
- Updating content when better or more current information becomes available
Research and Experience
KuduPost clearly distinguishes between first-hand experience and research based on external sources.
When Diogenes Silva has direct experience with a tool, material, technique, or project, that experience may be identified as first-hand.
When information is based on manufacturer documentation, technical publications, experienced woodworkers, community discussions, or other external sources, it is treated as research rather than personal experience.
KuduPost does not present another person’s experience as the author’s own.
Sources We Use
Depending on the subject, KuduPost may consult sources such as:
- Manufacturer manuals and official documentation
- Technical specifications
- Recognized woodworking publications
- Experienced woodworkers and documented demonstrations
- Retailer specifications when relevant
- Woodworking forums and communities
- User experiences and public discussions
- Government and recognized safety authorities
For important technical specifications, primary sources such as manufacturer documentation are preferred whenever available.
Our Approach to Accuracy
Important factual claims are reviewed and verified whenever practical.
Particular attention is given to information involving:
- Tool specifications
- Measurements
- Materials
- Product compatibility
- Prices and availability
- Safety-related information
Because products, prices, specifications, and recommendations can change over time, readers should verify important purchasing or safety information with the manufacturer or another appropriate primary source.
Safety-Sensitive Content
Woodworking may involve power tools, sharp blades, electricity, dust, moving machinery, and other physical hazards.
For safety-sensitive topics, KuduPost aims to rely on appropriate authoritative sources such as manufacturer manuals, OSHA, or other recognized technical and safety authorities.
Personal experience or community discussion alone is not treated as sufficient evidence for critical safety instructions.
Use of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence tools may assist Diogenes Silva with parts of the editorial workflow, including research organization, drafting, comparison, analysis, and identifying questions that require further investigation.
AI-generated material is not automatically considered ready for publication.
Content should be reviewed for accuracy, usefulness, source quality, unsupported claims, and meaningful editorial contribution before publication.
KuduPost does not use AI simply to mass-produce or paraphrase low-value articles.
Editorial Independence
Editorial conclusions should be based on evidence, usefulness, relevance, and the needs of the reader.
If KuduPost introduces advertising, affiliate relationships, sponsorships, or other forms of monetization, those relationships should not determine the factual conclusions presented in our articles.
Relevant commercial relationships will be disclosed when appropriate.
