    Site Affiliate Listing

    The site affiliates have been updated over the past few weeks. Our current list is:

    • Amazon.com
    • FestoolProducts (ToolNut)
    • Harbor Freight Tools
    • Rockler Woodworking and Hardware
    • Woodcraft


    They are all just a click away on the Affiliates page so if you're headed to the virtual shopping mall, click through here and they'll throw a few coins our way. I'll be doing my best to keep up with current Harbor Freight coupons and promotions from any of the other affiliates and get those posted as they occur.

      How does this work?

      When I click the Affiliates link at the top/right of the menu, I only see links to HF.

        Well that's not good at all. Harbor Freight is the only one that has text links, the others are all banner links. Does your browser normally display images? Do you have an ad blocker installed? Technically, these are all ads on the affiliates page.

          Chr's,

          Thanks - that solved the mystery! I use Firefox, and use ABP (Adblock Plus), which was blocking all the banners.

          Fortunately, ABP allows me to disable it by the site, and it was a simple matter of picking "Disable on bt3Central.com", and now I can see all the banner ads!

          I hope there's a way to spread the word to others here - that banner ads would not be seen because of ad blockers. Maybe a note right at the top of the Affiliate page, with some basic help on how to disable them?

            Forgot to add : that is a nice long list of affiliates.

            I am a big buyer at Amazon, and infrequently at the others; I will make sure I always enter thru this gateway!

            Thanks for the effort!

                Woodcraft is having it's annual Anniversary sale July 24th and 25th. I've updated the banner on the Affiliates page to reflect this. Text links to all the affiliates are also now on the page so if you are using an ad blocker, you will still have a link to our affiliates.

                  Harbor Freight Tools is suspending their affiliate program beginning August 1. According to the email I received, they are attempting to determine if suspending the program results in any net change in sales.
