A buddy is moving across country to Seattle and gave me his powercraft lathe, face shield and very low end hf turning tools. I will probably take a class in the winter/spring, and likely won't touch it until then, but I'd like to read a book on turning technique, basics, etc. in the meantime. E.g. I know that I'd like to pick up some vintage turning tools so that I will have something that will hold and edge for more than 30 seconds, but out of all the variety of turning tools I don't know which are "basics" and what is used for what. An introductory book could tell me those things. I'd also be interested in any online resources you have found useful/credible/ worth recommending.
Thanks.
Thanks.
