Here is a link to a useful web site involving turning. They offer a free monthly newsletter and it usually has some good information in it.

I was hoping for one created by the creators of google search!

Why oh why do software geeks think they do not need to 'publish' their own documentation? I know writing software is more 'fun' than prose!(except for 'debugging'!) I find a logical progression of function far ,more revealing and understandable than the 'to get this, do this genre'(learn by trivial examples).:(

Neal Addy has an excellent web site for woodturning at
http://www.nealaddy.org/node/11

the MarkV is included in his wood lathe specifications list.

the getting started turning section is excellent.

I am not skilled enough to comment on his photographing your work section. I mention it for those who might be interested.

Neal hangs out in the turning forum over on woodnet.
