I'm a machinist by trade and have this lathe in my basement. It's a Monarch CK12 with a 14-1/2" swing over the bed and weighs 4000 lbs

Jeff, thanks but that would take away the fun of making them myself. You certainly have a much nicer lathe than I do. Mine is an Atlas 12 inch that I have found takes care of 95% of what I need. When it doesn't do the job I have a friend with a nice South Bend. I am a hobbiest with it at best but enjoy learning by failure as much as by triumph. I hope someone gives some dimensions now for both of us. I can measure both O.D. dimensions and likely guess the correct I.D. but the thickness is uncertain. I am guessing either 3/8 or 1/2 inch. Thanks for the offer.
