Very nice. Technically I can figure out where the seam should be based on the screw heads but visually lot harder to see. 
Very good work.

Thanks Harold,
I added two 1/8 dowel pins to locate the halves, The sides were machined after assembly, but the ends mated up after machining each piece.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

I agree. At first glance it all appeared to be a single block (no pun intended) of aluminum until I noticed the screw heads. That is quite a fit!
