Has me thinking, does anyone know of a good youtube channel to follow showing the basics & tricks on a lathe ?

All you need is the bedtime reading in this. Written in 1946 and is still spot on in every detail. Mind you, it could have been written 1890 and still be OK. https://store.lathes.co.uk/books/amateurs-lathe
Next, acquire some aluminium bars to practise on.
