New at this and other than lathe, chisels, and mandrels I'm not sure what I need to get off the ground. I've searched but mostly find supplies and lathes. I'm sure if I go down to Woodcrafters, they'll endeavor to load my credit card so I thought I'd ask here. Only plan on pens and perhaps small drawer pulls.
Probably going to get Jet 1221vs (but its weight is holding me back)??? And very basic chisel set.... Sand paper & micro mesh along with CA and eventually sharpening.... I did order mandrel, mandrel saver, and some pen kits.
What am I missing? Any startup tips? I know that probably in the spring I'll meet some of the local turners but, would like to begin tinkering.
Appreciate any help.
