Er, how do I get from
here (start of Lathes) to there (end of Milling) without one?

You need tools to build tools. Often enough, you need to make another
tool to make a tool. :-)

Hand grinding is well enough for the beginning.
Doesn't Hemingway Kits offer a nice grining fixture for lathe bits?

Fully tooled I thnk means enough tooling to start something but not
necessarily enough to finish anything!!!
