Great job! You might want to weld a piece of square section tubing to the bottom. Then you can clamp it in your bench vice and use it the opposite way around. That way with the saw upside down you have the rod already between the ears and no worries about messing up the rod or small end.

And is the case pictured a 61?

Very nice.   You did a great job on cutting it out.   With out a band saw I would have thought that would be tough to do.
Looks good.

Yes.  I also had a plasma cutter, but it broke. It would have been handy

If you got it cadmium plated, everyone would think that it was a Husqvarna supplied splitter.
