Excellent work Chris, using banding is a good idea, normally ive seen metal straps between the segments, Ive built a de-coiler once, a lot smaller though. Extension tool holder's were definitely needed that day, love the vibration damper "Thing" 😮. Drawing looked good, plenty of notes go aide in machining and build. Thanks for sharing

Great work Chris as always I never got to work on anything so big, we did small end hydraulic stuff.

Although designed differently, this looks like what we would call a pay-off reel mandrel where I work. One comes into each side of coil to support while being run through a process, temper mill for example. Just curious if that is the case here and you had a pair of these to do (?). Great work, always interesting to see the machining of the types of components that I install as a millwright. 👍🏻
