Fellow Pen Turners,
I am in the beginning stages of setting up my wood shop to turn pens,bottle stoppers, and some of the other projects that I have found. I plan to purchase the Jet 10'' x 14'' Variable Speed Indexing Mini Lathe from Rockler when they go on sale in a couple weeks. I have also contacted Woodturnigz and they gave me a list of items to get me started. The list might be a little more than the average beginner, but I decided that I have one chance to get into this hobby so I'm going to do it....plus it helps when my mommy is footing the bill. (before you ask, no she will not adopt you!:laugh
Looking at the list below do you think that there is anything that I could or should change? Thanks in advance for your help!
