Agree with Kelvin, Great way to kill a Laptop (I have done that
)
Nice set up though, very neat, mine is more on the "Thrown Hand grenade" look 
Its a case of finding space, storage will always be in short supply.
As for turning, practice and learn as you go, I have been turning (some will tell you hacking away
) for about 15 years now and STILL learning, never had a lesson but watched a few tutorials and the amazing help from the experts in this forum have helped me no end.
Don't be shy to ask and include photos with your posts, we all love photos 
Oh and WELCOME to the Forum Steve
