OK, I fully expect (and want) comments on this. I am often asked at community events, often by young people, "what does it cost to get into woodturning, and what do I really need?" So here is an opinionated web page on the subject:

I would like your comments, picky and substantive. All of them. I know we are all so careful to be fair to alternative choices, and products. I am not trying to be fair, just put a stake in the ground for an easily understood, reliable, set of choices that will safely work for a new woodturner.
I see your comments as valuable information for new turners to take into account. Remember, the idea is to come up with an adequate, minimum cost, shop with new equipment. I have two junior high students who are now saving their pennies toward this end, so the stakes are high for them.
