I'm sorry for being such a novice but I am just getting into the craft and need some help or suggestions please. I bought a Turncrafter Commander 10 in. lathe which will be here tomorrow. I am in the process of getting my tools and supplies lined up so that I can start ordering kits and blanks. I have a very tight budget right now so I am having to lean towards the lower end of the price realm. I am going to need chisels and had someone suggest harbor freight set but explained that they won't stay sharp for long. I am also going to need to order CA but don't know which one I should start off with. I can always add to the collection as time goes by but am getting the bare necessities for right now. I am going to get a Skil 9 in. 2.5 amp band saw and a 3.2 amp 5 speed drill press. I am trying to think of the absolute necessities to get started before I order a kit or blank. So, micro mesh sanding pads, CA glue, and what else? I very much appreciate suggestions, comments, and help. Thank you so much for everything.
