Make sure that if you make it out of more than one piece, you put the motor and bearings in first, and align everything as it should be prior to welding.
Screws are not good for holding locations. You will have enough play in your pieces that if you don't get everything lined up, you could easily end up with your bores not being concentric after welding.
