Locks and more
Lock lathe tool holders, Lock slotting bar holder and to finish it off, a Lock tool post spanner.
The cutting tool shown mounted is a forged item originating from the WAGR Midland Workshops. It is the tool I have used most often. Appropriate in a way, my Grandfather was a fitter there. The plate shown replacing the tool post washer immobilises the clapper. I made it when I cut some dovetails.

Non Chinese Alternatives
Should your pursuit of local tooling prove fruitless and should you have a desire to purchase something not made in China, search for holders made by Armstrong and Williams on US Ebay. Both firms made shaper specific tooling of high quality.

There a couple of massive Armstrong branded shaper tool holders on ebay ATM I didn't realise how big these things could get.

From memory, you'll only be able to fit (as an Armstrong designation) a T0S (T=tungsten, but for a shaper means no back rack) 0 is the size and S= straight.
These will take a 1/4" tip.

You do have to watch out because they can get big.
I remembered this thread when I was down the shed, so I took some photos of some large tool holders I could lay my hands on. They are for my 24 inch Alba.
In this picture one is a Lock and the other is a Nolex (made in Aus) and it has a 45mm tall shank.
And here are some boring bars, a bit big for the Douglas, LOL
These are the Lock spanners, so keep your eye out at markets and garage sales as most people wont know what there for.
I bought these Indian ones about 15 years ago, and to tell you the truth, I don't see any difference in performance, after all they are only holding a small piece of HSS. If I come across more brand name ones for a reasonable price I would grab them, but I wouldn't go paying top dollar for them.
I see Bob gave a link to Rays tool holders which turned out really nice, Bryan also made some really nice lathe tool holders by welding a side on them, and with a little change could easily be shaper tool holders. Hopefully he jumps in with a picture or a link (though I think they are in the "Your latest project" thread
Found them
