wants to know:
snip tell me the minimum equipment needed & roughly how much it
would cost to set up. Thanks

Lathe, turning tools, wood. Get some cheap/used turning tools,
or
make some. Get a cheap/used lathe, or make one. Get scrap wood to
practice with. You don't even need a motor for the lathe, you can
make a human powered lathe. Cost? Depends on how well you are at
finding free materials.

That'll get you started. When you get decent at it, then you can
buy/beg/steal some decent wood. And, you can eiher make a better
lathe and tools, buy, or just stick with what you started with, if it
satisfies you needs/wants. No prob.

And, like they said, news:rec.woodturning is the best place to
ask.

It's rec.crafts.woodturning
