Tools and Materials
One of the reasons turning has become such a popular hobby, is the speed with which you can turn out a quality project. Of course, the fact that you can outfit yourself with a mini lathe and some basic turning tools for only a few hundred dollars also helps. In short, basic turning doesn't require a warehouse full of tools or years-and-years of practice.
Case in point, Fine Woodworking's Kelly Dunton's small cherry bowl. This simple project went from rough-sawn cherry blank, to finished bowl in only about an hour. Watch the video for step-by-step instruction and learn how it's done.
