    The way I would do it is:
    Start a sketch on a plane somewhere above the middle of the part.
    Draw a line and dimension it at an angle from a "centerline" set to be vertical.
    Extrude the line thin feature, NOT merge result.
    Chamfer it a few times to make it look right.
    Then circular pattern the body and combine all the bodies at the end.
