One of my projects involves recreating the collet set for the 1909 Hendey 16x8 gear head lathe. It shipped new with a 3H collet set, but that was all gone when I got the lathe. I've been piecing it back together and in my acquisitions I ended up with a pair of wood collet boxes from the later 1920's Hendeys, however they are missing the metal clamp and pipe parts that connect them to the lathe.
All I have to go by are catalog and patent drawings, so I'm starting this thread to share what I come up with. I plan to complete both boxes. One I'll use and the other is spoken for by another PM member.
The patent:
