Latest pic on my profile now.

Half inch more wouldnt fit on the lathe and Graeme got the billet on ebay. Theres another 19mm height ring to go on the bottom yet. Going to be 35mm think on the bottom ring with 7mm thick top (if the weight is calculated correctly) and then pockets milled insdie the 35mm part to bring it back down to weight (5.8kg inc 4 teeth).
