Might skip the turning tool kit. Have not use it, but it seems there are a lot of tools in there that you will not use for plug building. Might be of use if you plan on turning other stuff. I use a 3/4 inch gouge and 1 inch skew, thats it. Some guys also use a parting tool. You might be better off picking up a couple of quality tools (Robert Sorby is what I use) rather than getting a complete set of lower grade tools. May be someone else has used the grizzly ones and can give you a better idea of what they are like.

Also, if you have not done so already, pick up a face shield and respirator (one for wood turning, not those cheap paper ones at Homies). Your face and lungs will thank you later.
