I know that this is a Welding Forum and it is heresy to talk a customer into machining a part from solid instead of making it a weldment, but that is exactly what I did. The first two pictures are the solid model that my customer gave me of the weldment that he desired. The flange is 4" in diameter and the boss in 2" in diameter and sticks out 1-1/2'. The hole in the middle is 1".

A friend gave me some stock that I could use to make the parts. As you can see in the following picture, the stock was already partially turned down, so it would save me some time.
3. Stock Pieces

The following two pictures show facing the bottom and turning OD of the flange of the stock.
