I think one of the crucial things when you are new to turning is not to underestimate the importance of sharp tools, as a new turner I didn't appreciate how important really sharp tools were, I soon learned and made a crude jig, then bought a better one. I have learned to sharpen my skews myself without a jig and it's wonderful to have sharp tools.
