Allen,I think those units are properly called "Colonial", hehe.Nice project, and I contemplate a similar one...ER-32 to W-20, so I am watching your work carefully.Mosey
I hope you don't mind me making an observation on your design.
If I was doing this I would think twice about the 1/4" dia holes for the tommy bar to lock it to your lathe spindle, a 1/4" bar will probably bend too easily.Maybe you could put some flats on the body then you could use a decent sized spanner on it. Or maybe some slots for a "C" spanner

Hmm, Chronos stock an item like this (currently made by Soba):
