I have been woodworking for a few years now. Mostly working with furniture building, dovetailing, m & t, and various kids of joinery. I have always considered turning to be en entire differing universe requiring completely different tools and set up. However, recently I have been wondering if I have exaggerated this in my own mind. My question is whats the estimated need to get started in turning. I would mostly be making furniture legs and the sort. I don't see myself hollowing out pieces at least to start with. I would obviously need a lathe, but what kind of a tool collection would I need to get started?

I am aware of the absurdity of the question and the potential argument that might ensue, just figured it was the best place to start.
