One piece almost done, needs a 1" plus a little hole for the bucket pins.
Little "opps" on rounded end. Looks worse that is from this angle. Serves me right for not laying out the entire outline. Next time, for sure.
My shop teacher would give me a B-, maybe higher if I showed that I learned my lesson on the other pieces... LOL. He's also say, "you know, davilla. You could have already cut that out with the torch and be done. But noooo, you have to have perfect edges." I'd just smile.
One thing for sure, DRO all the way for me. Amazing how much machining has advanced from the late 70's.

The ring gets welded over hole, two slots for pin retainers. Then final boring to 1-1/4 clearance for bucket pin. For each end so X4 for the upper pieces.
