Always fancied having a go at turning on a lathe. Nothing fancy just maybe some bowls to begin with then maybe move on to other things.
As a retirement present my wife has offered to buy me a small lathe, (thinking of this one, https://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-craft-ac305wl-woodturning-lathe-105119 buth the chisels/gouges they recommend, https://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-hss-woodturning-tools-set-400228 are on a four week delivery time.
Can anyone recommend a decent set of tools for a complete beginner? I know I'll probably blunt them at first but I don't want a cheap throwaway type of set.
Whats your opinions on the lathe?
