That Sampsas solid container (-38c one) had center pole when i designed it but i wasnt able to do it with the lathe blades i have. Its much more clever to make just 5-10cm long base since it requires less material and machining is easier (less vibrations due shorter "arm" of the blade).
I know that design is not very easy to make (at least if holes have to go 18cm deep like in those my containers) but its doable and i think it would kick ass (even though i would go bigger diameter than 50mm).

Yeah, 50cm is pretty narrow but thats all they have at the recycling place where I get my copper... Big difference paying $7 per inch ( of round copper ) compared to $35/ inch if I buy from store.... Got lucky once and found one thats 3" wide but it was only 3.5" high...
What ive always wondered is how the thickness of the base affects the pots cooling ability.... Is it as simple as thinner will be colder but wont hold temp at load?
I think this one will be easier to make.... the outer ( bigger ) holes are lower than the ones in the center so the dice surrounds the core area....
