Very useful link Flintlock. The video identifies a huge number of cutters that came with the Rose Engine. Was it 480 or 580+?

Tool handles
Hi,
If I am not mistaken I have several of those
Chucks in a shed. Some are made of Brass and
some are made of wood. They are from the Lathe
my father had bought. I do not know why he would
have kept some of the chucks and other bits and
pieces. I know you will need pictures but not that easy.
but will try one day. I have often wondered what to
do with these chucks.
Martin.

Although I can't say what the handles were originally intended for, they could still make for some very practical & desirable tools today.
While I don't condone the harvest or use of 'modern' ivory, I think it's a shameful waste to let old pieces like that languish.
(Cor! The brownie points I could earn from my arts 'n crafty missus! )
Some horns vary enough in wall thickness that by the time you soften the thicker parts, the thinner parts have become... well... nearly glue. I simply meant that some horns lend themselves to the process, others need quite a bit of trimming and/or scraping to get consistent thickness.
I often want it unprocessed for the surface texture as a form of 'grip,' but it can be hard to tell just what you're getting by online descriptions.

It would be a shame to have them end up being thrown out. I doubt the museum in Ashburton would have the resources to buy them off you and ship them halfway around the world. Maybe there's somewhere closer that would be keen to have them (the Fred Howe collection in England?). Or maybe just list them on eBay so they get re-united with a Holzapffel lathe.

I will have to get the Chucks out and try to see what I
can do with them. I am not sure but I think one of them
was made of Box wood. Time will tell.
