I've been bouncing around this forum for @ 6 months and confess to information overload inasmuch as I've been turning bowls for only @ 1 year. So much to learn, and so little time! And so much great information on this forum!
But, I've recently registered for a woodturning class which will cover not only bowl turning but spindle and end grain turning a well. I have turning tools which will, I think, serve me well for the bowl turning segement of the class. However, the only tools I have which can be used for the other segments of the class are a 1 1/2" spindle gouge a 3/8" spindle gouge (looks small to me) and a diamond parting tool.
Finally, the questions: What do forum members suggest I purchase as a "starter set" for end grain and between centers turning? What tools and what sizes do you consider essential? What tools should I consider adding to this "starter set" down the road?
Thank you for your help.
