Very nice! my other husband was a machinist, he did precision work like you are doing, but mainly with metal

Whiskey did you just glue the hub together and that's it? Is that piece inside the hub electrical pvc or is it metal? I know the one in the second set of pics is metal but can't tell on the first set.

Nice work. You must have chiseled out the square corners. The shaft looks like ABS.

hi, pipe inside is 1 1/4 plastic glued with packing surrounded by 8 blocks of 3"x2" once set squared to centre of pipe with two end covers. The pipe is only there to glue to new metal bar and bearing, bar in picture only there until new unit arrives.When finished, bar will be solid to bar, and free running on bearing if that makes sense. Up loading more photos showing use of sliding chop saw, to do tennons on rails.
