Cheers all, pleased with how they came together given the lack of any proper workspace and only hand power tools.
Rods (8mm mild steel) and bar for the cross bits (10x3mm mild) came from metals4u. Quite reasonably priced, I think there's about £60 of steel there inc. delivery. Oak boards were the spendy part..

Not bike related but I've been busy brazing up some steel shelf brackets for my parents. Told myself I wouldn't do any more stem stuff until they were finished, so full speed ahead with them now they are. 1 inch threadless for the Dolan first.
Formulating a plan to modify the Dolan once winter is over and I'm using the Geoffrey for road riding instead. I've collected the Force groupset, a set of carbon thru axle disc wheels, and a tapered carbon road fork over the last year. Thinking of chopping off the 1 inch head tube and replacing with a straight 44mm to take the tapered fork. Then chopping the (rusty) chain stays, dropouts, and bridges to spread the rear end out to 142mm. Braze in fresh thru axle dropouts and chain stays for a flat mount caliper.
