Hi pretty new to wood turning. Started with a Harbor Freight and really crappy tools. Recently gotten a jet 10 22 and some Robert Sorbey tools including the car idea set with the lathe. Interested in bowls, rings, and trying some epoxy turning looking forward to seeing who else is asking well.

Welcome! I too started with a workshop full of Harbor Fright tools, but, after seeing the HUGE difference a quality tool makes, I'm slowly phasing those out.
