I stopped by Rockler yesterday an was pawin through the magazines. The new Fine Woodworking had its turning issue out. There are a bunch articles on getting wood,centering,tools an so on that will help many.I saw the same issue in Lowes also. Enjoy. Ron:fishin:

thanks Ron, I think I'll stop by Lowes on my way out of work and check it out. I need all the help that I can get.

Some of the articles are filled with tips that help.I've already experimented with a couple with stuff from the woodstove pile. There also a router jig in there that's gonna be put to use with one of the lathes.
