Dave Balderstone's advice to buy good quality tools as you need them is
good. But, being a newcomer to turning, you probably have little idea
what tools are available and what they are for. I would recommend that
you get the cheapest set of six that you can find (ebay usually has
loads on offer), and play with them.

Fair point, GB. In fact I almost did that. s But rather than the
cheapest set I bought this one:

I've since added another a roughing gouge, four bowl gouges, an oval
skew and a bedan one at a time depending on need and whim.

(Yeah, the oval skew was whim)...
