I'm new to turning, I've just set up a workshop in the garage of my first house. I have an old Rockwell 4 speed wood lathe that I got off of Craigslist for free that I'm working with. I'm still figuring out how all of this works and I'm interested to see what I can learn here on the forums.

Welcome to the forum Kevin. Very experienced turners here that are happy to help you with any questions that you might have. Happy turning.
Welcome. Free? That is my favorite word. There might be a manual available on the 'Net. Try a search, using the brand and model number.
