Tools needed to turn wood bowls?

SVOboy · 11-01-13, 01:03 AM

Hi all,

With my huge amount of free time I'm pondering lots of things to do. When I was younger I used to turn some things on the lathe at school and really enjoyed it, so I was thinking about picking up a mini-lathe and turning some small bowls, etc.

I take it I need:
lathe
chuck
tools
wood

What else am I missing? Lathes seem to be expensive in Japan so I'll probably end up ordering one from the US, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know.
