Drum support completed, the other end is supported by the motor shaft. It was drawn in a CAD program, Scotch 777 aerosol glue (double stick carpet tape also works well), was used to stick it to the aluminum.
Jig saw cut out, followed by flapper wheeling to smooth it out, shoulder bolts and a couple of bushings (available at the hardware store if one doesn't have a lathe).
Finished project with the drum in place. There is so little weight that probably a couple of solid contact points would have worked well (round screw heads or something like that). Anyways, it was fun to do.
