Do you guys think I will get caught up on it while sliding over the rounded edge?

more than likely this will cause your edges to catch pretty often. Try sanding it down so the bump is no longer there/too small to cause problems, or cut that piece off and attach the 2 pipes to the piece of wood so they are flush.

I went with the cutting off method rather then the sanding, which worked. If you sanded down the bump to a relatively smooth angle so you would ski up and then down it, i think it would work.
