I have just purchased my first woodturning lathe and would appreciate some
guidance on good websites for basic info or any help or assistance anyone
could provide.

Check out http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/index.php?s=

It's Aussie forum but a great bunch of people (I have to say that I'm
on there lol) and it is searchable - the chances are that the same
newbie issues you will encounter have been talked about there.
Cheers

That should keep you busy for a couple minutes. Hope it helps.
Most turners, whether contemporary or bodgers, tend to be fairly
helpful sorts. Find your local club and you should find a
plethors of mentors.

Blowing my own horn here, but check out my web site and make the sharppening
jig or buy a commercial one. This is a great group to post questions. The
guys and gals are helpful and together we have made all the mistakes
possible. Of course having said that, someone will now try to make a liar
out of me with a new mistake, but that is life :-) .
