The jet mini for 200 bux is a great lathe. They are now making a variable speed model for an additional 100.

Sorbys are excellent turning tools, get a 3/4" gouge and a 1" skew to start with. A parting tool comes in handy too.

As far as getting into plug making to save money...forget about it. You will spend 10 times the money making them as you would buying them. Trust me I know.
