Shop made KDK holder for 1" tools

[OldMachinist]

I have a bunch of 1" shank tools and inserts that I wanted to use on my 16" South Bend lathe so I made this holder from some 4140 drop from a old Boeing job. This fall when I fire up the wood furnace it will get heat treated.

Looks pretty cool. How long did it take to mill that out?

It took a 1 to 1 1/2 hours yesterday and another 1/2 hour this morning to drill/tap and deburr.
