To add to what others have said......

Buy the Keith Rowley book: "Woodturning: A Foundation Course".
Consider Richard Raffan's book: "Turning Wood". Both are excellent
references. Consider a bowl-turning video or two: "Bowl Turning" by
John Jordan and Del Stubbs' bowl video are excellent. Consider these
other reference items too: "Turning Green Wood" by Michael O'Donnell
and "The Aesthetics and Properties of Wood" video by John Jordan.
Finally, for hollow turning, consider David Ellsworth's video #3 on
hollow turning and John Jordan's "Hollow Turning" video.


Second the opinion on Rowley's book! He also has a video of the same name
as the book (IIRC), but he does get a wee bit monotonish and I have nodded
off a cuple times when watching it. Raffan's books and videos are also
good. If you can buy one book, buy Rowley; good solid, safe, fundamentals.

Thanks for the pointers, guys!
