the plates and threaded rods are the easy bits - 20 for a couple of base plates and about 20 or so for some 4140 threaded rod and nuts (Im thinking acme thread)
Im going to see if a machine shop can mill out a few slivers worth of metal from some pieces of pipe to make the sleeves - looks like I only need to mill a seat into one small piece that will push the joint from the bottom.
If it goes smoothly Its going to be a nice joint press.
