Ya gotta get the best turnin tools that you can afford.You will have to sharpen alot less and they will cut alot smoother. Like the other guys said use a 60 0r 80 sandpaper while it's spinin on the lathe and finish with a 120-180.Watching it bein done for an hour is worth days of turnin yourself.
Enjoy and have fun.
