I have been working on getting a gage kit completed and I have a friend that had the metal box for the kit but no wooden trays. Been working on this over the last couple of weeks trying to figure out how to duplicate them and finally got a set finished.

Congratulations.
That's a more than respectable job. How about showing us some pics of the total package with the box and any other gages that might go with it, which you might have. Should this also somewhere include a timing block as well?

I believe these were mainly for inspecting weapons to determine serviceablity. Eventually I will get most of the items that go in it, it just takes a lot of searching and in some cases a few bucks to get the missing items.
