Topic tags/keywords: holiday christmas gift ideas recommend wood turn lathe

So I’m cranking it into high gear and starting my Christmas projects, but as I am still relatively new to turning wood I was wondering about some turning kit or other basic ideas?

(And I know about pens already! XD)

I have the best luck with the parts kits from Woodcraft, but there are other suppliers out there as well. Ron -- Once in awhile I make something really great. Most days I just make sawdust.
