A basic introduction to woodturning & lathe equipment

This video is very much aimed at someone thinging of starting to turn on a wood lathe. I will discuss the basic tools required for pens, bowls and other projects, a brief look at tools and of course a bit of safety equipment.
It is aimed to help a new turner decide what equipment to get to make the projects they have in mind - I really hope it helps to point a new turner in the right direction. It is a scratch on the surface of the huge subject that we all love so much.

Great information that you don't get from many other videos, thank you

Thank you for these suggestions. All your videos are covering a very big gap, between now starting wood turners and the real close to professional wood turners.

Your polishing wheels jig is really a lifesaver.
I am definitely following you!
Thank you for your effort.

Objective achieved, Jon. This is a GREAT and comprehensive introduction to wood-turning. I wish I'd had something like this when I started. These types of videos are great money and time-savers. Great

A really good video for the new turner Jon. It's a question I am asked endlessly. I can, now, direct folks to watch this. Thank you.

Good video. Glad I found it. I’m looking at getting a lathe to start turning, hopefully to sell some bits.

Thank you, A very clear and enjoyable video. I have just got my new lathe and tools but as the saying goes, got the gear but no idea. You have given me good start. Keep well.
