Lathe Rituals

[Zeal]

Finally started turning and practicing with the roughing gouge and skew. Addicting as hell!

Since I am literally just starting out, at the end of the day when you guys are done turning, what are really good habits to get into as far as taking care of the lathe and the tools extending their lifespan? (Besides making sure everything is off, cleaning the workspace, etc. I am talking about if you apply grease after each session, sharpen/hone the tools after each session, etc.)

Oddly enough, on the internet there is all the talk about how to use and how to turn, but little on actually taking care of the machinery besides common sense.
