For clarity, by base I mean the thick piece with lugs for the chain straps.

I started off with a capped cylinder, clipped to a quarter (so I could mirror the rest of the 3 sides later). Then I tried to shape the lug using a tapered cube. Now, I am having trouble merging these two shapes seamlessly.
