Thanks for your help! I'll check out the pen turners set.

When I bought the Jet mini they threw in a Nova midi chuck for $20.00.
Can I do the small spindles with this set up or will I need to pick up
additional chuck accessories or centers to get started?

After checking out a number of different woodturning catalogues and
online stores, I have to say that the variety or chucks, jaws centers,
spurs etc is a bit overwhelming. As a newbie turner it's hard to know
what all the different ones are for and which are applicable in this
situation.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
