Just thought I would kind of re-introduce myself here. I know a few of you from the penturners website and you probably know me as "cowchaser". I have only made pens and bottlestoppers for the last year and have yet to make a bowl, which is getting ready to change. I am ordering a barracuda chuck today and figured it was time to turn some bowls. I still have a bunch of other things to buy like a bowl gouge and parting tool and whatever else I need. Figure I will try and find some guys from penturners that might want to trade some stuff for some basic bowl turning dvd's or books. I only have a Jet Mini VS so I figure I will be limited in what I can do, but with today's economy I have to make a sacrifice somewhere.
So any help along this stretch of my learning curve is appreciated and any input on what to buy is appreciated. I unfortunately don't have a turning club close by so this will end up being self taught for the most part. So let me know what tools I need to have and we will kick this thing off.
