I glued the two pieces of acrylic to have a 1/2" thick base then drilled through both for the 1/2" pvc  to slide through.  I then cut up a small pvc fitting to slide over the 1/2" pipe and it sits on the acrylic and glued it all up with all purpose cement ! turned out really strong !

This is a great discussion and the pictures really tell it all. You have a great design and I hope to show my take on what you have accomplished. Thanks for the discussion.  Jody
