Heh, heh, heh............Jim, Jim, Jim...........with a Jet 1014, you have a
great start in woodturning. There is no better value in a starter lathe.

To start, you'll need a parting tool, a 3/4 skew and a 1/2" spindle gouge.
That'll get you started. From here, just buy standard sized tools as you
need them. Just because you have a mini lathe doesn't mean you should buy
mini tools. Standard sized tools are easier to control and sharpen.

For bowls, you'll probably want a chuck. Consider a Nova Midi or Super
Nova. Start with the standard 2" jaws and add jawsets as you need them.
Your lathe has 1" x 8 threads and # 2 Morse taper. Keep this in mind and
buy accessories to fit.

Buy yourself a good book like Keith Rowley's "A Foundation Course in
Woodturning". Take a turning class for beginners soon, before you develop
nasty bad habits. (Woodcraft offers them) Unless you get good instruction
soon, you go at it helter skelter and have to unlearn your bad habits when
you do get proper instruction. Might as well learn how to do it right the
first time. Don't neglect learning how to properly sharpen your tools. You
can't turn well unless you first learn how to sharpen well. Consider a
slow-speed grinder and a Wolverine jig from Oneway.

Have fun.

For pens, you'll need a pen mandrel
