George did say:

~$600, or you'll be forced to make some significant compromises.

That presumes a 10" swing JET, a NOVA chuck with pin jaws, and the basic
seventy buck tool set.

You do have sanding and grinding equipment, I presume?

Hi,

This is going to sound like a real "newbie" question,
"I like woodturned products e.g. bowls, mushrooms(toadstalls) etc. and I
would like to do some myself.
Please could you reply and tell me the minimum equipment needed & roughly
how much it would cost to set up. Thanks

I'd also suggest taking a basic woodturning class, woodcraft has single
day things or you can take a more comprehensive class somewhere. You'll
get to use a variety of equipment and get a feel for what you like. The
safety and technique instructions you'll get will be invaluable.
