John Lucas has 10 pretty good videos that are great for newbies.
search you tube for "john60lucas".

If you're going to do cups and boxes, and even knobs, you'll need
a scroll chuck with several size jaw sets in order to hollow and to
finish off the tops of pulls.

Boxes also require that you do things in a specific order or you
can find yourself in a box canyon - no way to hold a part to do
the next operation. This stuff may save you some grief

You didn't mention if you have a grinder and sharpening jigs. Turning
with dull tools will make things so much harder than turning with
sharp tools, especially if you're turning pine, douglas fir, redwood or
other softwoods.


Picked up a couple of chucks and jaw sets. Have a dry and wet grinder and
some simple jigs. Looked at the Wolverine but will se how I do freehand or
with some other home made jigs.

Great link on the Lidded Box! Have seen videos of that but not the step by
step way he goes through it.

Thanx!
