    Which Tools to Buy?

    Hello, This is my first post on the Turner's Forum. I have begun taking turning lessons at the local Community College. My initial objective is to make fluted spindles with matching capitals for a 1780's style chest on chest. There are 9 of us in the class and all the other turner's are working on large and small bowls. I would like to get a few gouges and chisels. Without spending a fortune, can you give me 3-5 gouges that will work for spindles and also beginners bowls. My instructor recommends Sorby but I understand that Crown is good and less expensive. Any suggestions?
