The mesh won't change by turning on Keep Faces Together, you have to fix it yourself. KFT just keeps it from happening again.

What you need to do is to delete the faces that seem to be inside the cylinder and merge all vertices together. That should fix your problem...

I was more thinking about going back to what MatttheMAN said..

-if you just select the edges that should look smooth..

-then edit polygons > normals > soften / harden (option box) > soften all...

this would be the difference

Not looking bad for your early work.

The only thing I would comment on is that the feet of your base look overly complicated for what they are and might even cause you problems later on.
