Using a lathe is not something you can learn in a short period of time. A machine shop lathe operator takes 2 years(or more) to complete his apprenticeship.
You can expect loads of burns, cuts and bruises when you first start learning, not to mention broken tools and ruined projects...
I've been making all sorts of things for the last 20 odd years, and is quite good with a lot of power tools and hand tools, but I leave all my lathe work to the professionals.
