Just ordered the beginner kit for chuck (needed for SS) from Craft Supplies and a Live Center Cup from SS. I think that should get me started. Any other suggestions.

Thanks for the info I will try the Paperbag method.

Any suggestions on how to dry 3 to 6 inch thick wood after I cut down a tree. Just learning and have tried putting in a soap solution from Costco?????

Can you use the same turning tools for pen turning that the basic turning comes with or smaller tools needed?

I am new to woodworking and try doing a little of everything to get use to working with the shopsmith. Master of noe but having a great time.
