Well, we finally did it! We finished up the columns! Here are a few of the steps we did to complete the columns.
We had a total of 4 columns and column bases to glue up and machine. This is how we glued up the rough blanks for the column bases.

Here is a video showing how we used a shop made jig on our shaper to turn the large diameter bases.
After a bit of shaper time, the column bases are finished!

Here are a couple of pictures showing the finished column height and three of the finished columns standing, awaiting the delivery truck.
