modeling press die halves

Hey all, Ive made some press dies before which ive 3D printed and used to shape aluminium but i'm having trouble working out how to do it in this case since its both curved and stepped.

 

Can anyone suggest a workflow that will give me a top and a bottom half with the bottom half having columns that extend up through the holes and the top half having holes that will "receive" the columns.

I hope all that makes sense?

Exactly like that! Thankyou... I had a quick flick through the timeline to try understand how you did it. I couldn't quite work it out the first time, Ive never worked with surfaces before.

Could you explain the workflow please?
