The thing isn't complete yet this was just the hardest part.
The bottom with have a flat plat with two more of these half rounds welded to it.
It will have a stud coming up through the one I just made in the center.
On top of the one I just did will have another steel plate with a long slot.
the stud will go through it and there will be a locking handle.
On that top plate will be where the tool rest is attached.
Sort of like in this picture of an old Yates American lathe from the late 30's where I got the idea from.
