Just a quick intro.
I am new to turning. took a class at the local woodshop and really loved it. Now looking for a full size lathe.
Hope to learn a lot from this group.

Welcome to the AAW forum, Howard. Consider joining a local AAW chapter to jump-start your turning experience although it will be a while before things start to return to normal. Meanwhile, many chapters are holding virtual meetings. Also, the AAW has been hosting live remote demonstrations. Here is a link to the calendar: https://community.woodturner.org/events/ird-demonstrations
 
Welcome to the forum. As Bill mentioned, joining a local chapter is a good choice for learning. Chapters also have mentors who work with new woodturners.
