just a tish NE of central ND | Book, how to run a turning lathe, is a good read if you need some pointers. Look closely at sharpening and shaping tool bits. Without good cutting bits you are dead on the water so to speak and will get frustrated fast.

Im pretty sure you can find that book a lot cheaper and maybe even free online. Its been re published over and over by a little different look or name for many many decades and it a good simple information source.
Watch tubalcain YOUTUBE videos on how to run a turning lathe, especially how to sharpen turning lathe tools.
