I have a few questions about plans to make my own outboard spider for barrel work. I’m mostly going to be working on AR barrels, Ruger Mark IV and 10/22. Maybe more.

I found this photo from The Shooting Shed and it’s exactly what I want to make. I’m planning on using a Shars D1-4 backplate (maybe 5”).
My questions are…
What material would you recommend me to use for the “tube”?
What would you recommend I made the inside diameter?
The backplate is threaded. I’m thinking about drilling the threads out, drilling and tapping the tube. Then bolting it on. Does this sound ok?
Thanks guys!
