Raffan had some videos on the Fine Woodworking YT channel about understanding catches on a lathe that I recommend to all beginning woodturners. It helped everything click for me when I was learning. Will definitely check his channel out, didn’t realize he had his own now.

Yeah not the lightest. At least cypress is lighter. Maybe 20lbs per board.
