Turning tools question

[Rvjimd]

Time for another tool question.

I plan on getting a lathe of some sort eventually, not sure yet what exactly.

Since I seem to need a gouge or something to make pulleys, what and where should I be looking?

Right now I'm only turning wood, but I suspect I really want and need something to turn mild metals.

One question, if I end up with a metal turning rig, wil I also be able to chuck up a dowel and do something like I am doing now on the drill press?

Sorry for the noob questions...
