Default Has anyone made a shell mill holder?

I have a nice little 2" Valenite shell mill to adapt to my Eklind mill

interesting problem is making the drive tabs alongside the pilot shaft
that fit into the top of the shell mill.

Anyone have a quick and easy method?

The drive keys? Make them separately and bolt them on after the fact.
Alternately, mill them on the arbor face, bore a hole for the pilot and
hold it in separately with a setscrew.

Just a thought
