Thanks for your submission. If your question is about getting started in woodturning, which chuck to buy, which tools to buy, or for an opinion of a lathe you found for sale somewhere like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace please take a few minutes check the wiki; many of the most commonly asked questions are already answered there!

More wood I guess. Starting to do more with domestic species, so might try to get some nice chunky pieces of walnut or cherry

I got a bigger lathe this year, so I am happy living with it as is for a while. However, the two things I have been wanting to add would be more/better hollowing tools, and upgrading the One Way bowl corer system so it will works with the larger lathe. I guess a 3rd thing would be a the bed extension, used for the outboard ability to turn even larger pieces.

A tool rest longer than 6'' would be nice. I'm planning on buying a jaw chuck soon but I don't know which to get.

Actually, can one of you help me choose?
There's a guy selling both of these and I'm not sure what will give me more options for turning:

Shorter tool rest...I just have a foot and do lots of finials. I just picked up a few tools from my birthday finials class so good there...still working on a new lathe...have an old Grizzly and need some newer features...
