I'm no expert by any means on the tools required for what you want/think to turn, but for my initial purchase, I got a 3/4 inch roughing gouge, 1 inch skew, a 1/4 inch parting tool, 1/2 inch bowl gouge and a 1/2 spindle gouge. These have served me well for starters and now I have quite a collection of sometimes, unused tools. Consider enrolling in classes etc or getting involved in a turning club, I wish I would have in the begining! Also I wish I would have used/searched this forum before hand!
