First thing is to check into the rec.crafts.woodturning news group. This one here is good, but the other is dedicated to woodturning. Second, see if there is a club in your area. There are many American Assoc. of Woodturners (AAW) clubs around the US and many have video libraries and volunteer instructors. Here is their web site:

That ought to get you started.
