Kit suppliers

I am a new turner started about 2 months ago, I have bought kits from Prokraft which I found to be good quality. However I was wondering if there are others you would recommend.

For value for money, try penkitzand bitz great to deal with or midrange try Taylors Mirfield...for premium and quality it has to be Beaufort ink,
Just my humble opinion

I endorse the above recommendations.

If you are willing to bear the cost of P&P from the USA (or have a friend visiting the States happy to bring back a small package) you might like to have a look at the Penn State Industries website. They occasionally offer free postage within the USA and I have taken advantage with orders being delivered to e.g. a friend's hotel which they then bring home at no extra cost. I'm always baffled by customs duties; sometimes I have to pay, others go free. No doubt someone will know why.

Have to agree Penn State have a massive range of kits.
Again I have ordered from them and delivered with no custom duties, other times I have been hit hard with custom fees
