LJ Woodworks

Welcome to LJ Woodworks!

I’m Todd — retired Navy Combat Vet and  woodturning enthusiast. This channel is dedicated to everything that happens on the lathe: turning bowls, vases, pens, segmented projects, and custom epoxy resin blanks.

Most of my videos focus on woodturning techniques, carbide and traditional tools, segmented turning, and my growing obsession with casting epoxy resin for woodturning blanks. I share the full process — from glue-ups and ring stacks to shaping, hollowing, sanding, and finishing. Sometimes the shavings fly perfectly… sometimes they hit the camera. It’s all part of the fun.

Whether you’re new to woodturning or deep into the craft, you’ll find projects, tips, experiments, and the occasional “measure once, cut twice” moment. If you enjoy lathe work, resin turning, satisfying wood shavings, and woodworking entertainment, you’re in the right place.

Subscribe and join me as we turn wood, resin, and the occasional mistake into something worth showing off.
