A Little Turning

I took a couple of wood turning classes over the last few months. I have never done any turning before and I really liked it. I will post some pictures and more information soon.

Walnut Tray with Compound Devetails

Juan RuizWoodworking

I first saw this project in Popular Woodworking Magazine April 2013. I liked the look of the tray and I thought it could make a good gift one day, but my main interest was the dovetails on those compound angled corners. I have done regular dovetails before but I thought this could be a challenging project to attempt, so I …

Shaker Table

Juan RuizWoodworking

This is my first furniture project. The table is based on the Woodworking Magazine Autumn 2004 article, built using white oak (mostly quartersawn white oak).

GeekStorage.com Review

Juan RuizWeb Hosting

My one year hosting with HostGator was about to expire early this month (April, 2009) and I decided to look for a new host to take advantage of special offers. I had been looking at GeekStorage for a while, they had a good special through Web Hosting Talk of 50% off and 50% more disk space and bandwidth. So I …
