But with all the lathes out there and tool's to start, getting a little confused.

Is their a Men's shed anywhere near you as they might have lathes and tutors to guide you through the process and when the time comes, maybe to buy a second hand lathe, they would be willing to steer you in the right direction..
Welcome to the empty wallet club, oh sorry the fraternal pen making club...
