"What chisels to get" is a perennial question and the usual answer is
to
avoid sets because they're a bad choice. Here's a set that's a good
selection, good quality, and a decent price (for the UK) - £62.

3/4" Roughing gouge
3/8" Bowl gouge
3/8" Spindle gouge
1" Oval skew
Diamond parter
3/4" Round nose scraper



There may be some small differences, but this set looks remarkably like
an unbranded set I bought on eBay for about £20 when I first started
turning a couple of years ago. They may have been cheap and cheerful
but they served me well as a starter set. Why pay more until you know
whether turning is for you?
