    Here's a partial image from a Douglas shaper parts break down. Missing (I don't know why they did not include it) is the spring for the pawl. However, it should give you an idea of the shape of the pawl and pawl knob so that you can make those bits up as well.

    Early versions used a spring for the pawl-plunger, but later ones rely on just gravity, which works fine.
    It's not possible to add a spring to a late model, unless the plunger is modified.

    Douglas pawl dimensions.
    Although not a metric machine, the measurements seemed to be closer to millimeter sizes as shown.

    The pawl tooth is hard.
    It might be good to get some half inch drill rod (aka silver steel), which can be simply flame hardened after machining in the soft state.

    Hi Donny,

    Do not fret too much about being new and not used to our systems.

    While you are picking it up there's always some one here to help.

    We all shall look forward to seeing pics of the project.

    Cheers
